Bulbs (or mods) for a Hi-Gain 250???

[markinthedark]

Can anyone recommend a replacement incandescent bulb (or an easy LED mod) for a Hi-Gain 250. It's a flat, fresnel-focused, made-in-USA flashlight from Diamond Light Industries that takes four AA cells.

Love this light -- and would buy more -- but they seem to have disappeared. Hate to give up this flashlight for want of a bulb...


Thanks!

Nice find opey and welcome to CPF.

Ebay only saves their info for about 90 days so anyone who may be looking for these after this thread entry becomes 3 months old may want to see if there are any bulbs in the Flashlights>Traditional section of ebay where the bulbs were listed.

I have one of those lights. I saw the bulbs at Lowes (I think) a couple years ago. Maybe try there.

How about LED mods? It'd need a side-emitting LED, I think? Plenty of room in there for a big heatsink.
