No.
The glass one (a 4515) is a PAR36, the metal one is an AR111 bulb.
As I posted above.

Yea, that's why I was asking what the par36 was, since you told use what the AR111 bulb was. Thanks for the answer. I've got bulbs like that, just not with an actual glass envelope bulb inside:thumbsup:.

Erm, yes - my bad. It's not a 4515, it's an H4515. I'm awake now.

wasn't it Parabolic Aluminized Reflector?

No way, I think a flag holster would work better for this light: http://www.westernband.com/Pages/ROTC.htm#Single_Harness_Leather

So finally "excess" funds has been funneled into this project and £85~$136 worth of NiMh D cells are under the way from UK to Denmark.
A FET has been installed to assist the original switch and a charging jack has been added.
Some resistance mods has been made.
The pics:
The switch has been cut down in the lathe to allow flattop cells. The original positive track to the switch is kept intact but a brass disc runs a 20AWG directly to the FET. A 24AWG runs to the charging jack.
The negative connection from the switch to the tube is used for the negative charging wire.
The charging jack in the tube
The switch assembly
Proper grounding of the AL111 bulb
Finished wiring
Some resistance fighting on the tail spring
A brass disc to aid in negative contact
The end cap spring fit has been deepened to allow for the front and rear brass discs
Beamshots will come as the cells arrive and are charged.

That's a pretty sick mod.
Closest thing I got is an Old Eveready Big Beam that takes a Par36 bulb.
I have a 25w and 55 flood for it.
For power, I duct taped a 6v 20ah SLA to the top I cut off a 6v rectangle battery.
Not sure if you'd consider that close, but either way, I have a high output mod that takes a Par36 bulb.
This Ar111 dealy ? It is a reflector assembly with a removable bulb, or is the bulb fixed ?

...for those times when you want to play stickball in a cave.
...or those times when you need a flashlight that doubles as a cane.
...or those times when you might need to fend off a band of ninjas in the dark.
