Bulb upgrade possibility for military crookneck flashlight?

[V8TOYTRUCK]

I just found this flashlight I bought from USCAV during my early years of CPFing, now a more mature CPFer, are there any ideas to upgrade this? The model # is mx-991 made Fulton. Are these PR type bulbs?

I have one of those too (pretty sure it's the same model) and it is a PR type bulb. It takes 2 D's.

I'm also interested in better/brighter bulb options. I'm thinking maybe 3 C's and a 3C maglite bulb...or a LED PR bulb...

Try a Radio Shack Xenon XPR-102. 2.4v 0.8a.
Or a Ledcorp Bulb for a tight beam or a Ledtronics 3 LED bulb for a more conventional LED beam.

I found a 3.6V 0.85a from my Sears Oscillating flashlight ( Dont ask why I bought this light, I thought it was cool at the time ). The only problem is the bulb is burned, but everything fits,so I will pick up a spare at Sears tommorow.

IIRC, our friend Wayne dropped a LS into one a while back...

i am thinking abt using 8AA with 4*2 series/parallel connection (like surge) and a 4.8 v bulb. for my friend's "L - Torch".

Cool spidey...how are you going to put 8AA's in the space of 2D's though?

use 2X 4AA battery holder. but was thinking of how to connect it to the flashlight itself. Might have to solder the wire direct to the light. I ever run a 6batt maglite bulb with 6 AAs in a 2D light using a 4AA & a 2AA battery holder.
