I was just wondering do you guys know any flange base bulbs which fit D cell maglites that have a high number of Watts, for example the most I have seen is 15W but surely theres stronger ones?:sick:

The highest wattage two that I know of are of course the very popular Pelican 3854-H & 3853-H (both ~30W depending on the specific voltage & current), constituting the classic ROP, although I would very much like to hear of unusual options as well.

What the difference between the 3853 and the 3854 one? And how many lumens you think they roughly give out?

Remember that the stock maglite parts are only supposed to take 10w, so a more powerful bulb then that would melt the parts.

Look at the destructive incan bulb testing in the incan section.
