Earlier this year Alan brought up the issue of the Philips Xenon bulbs like HPX20, HPX40. Further posts from other users showed that the HPX20 is used in the Coleman Lantern - I found the same bulb in Lumilites 2D "Xenon" flashlight. (BTW - another "Xenon" advertised flashlight just used the standard Halogen [possibly Xenon in there as well] Philips HPR52)
A bike light I saw is also supposed to use the HPX21 - so we have at least 4 bulbs - HPX20,21,40,41 we CPF flashaholics know of - so why the f*****g h**l I can´t find any of these bulbs anywhere, no specs - NO FREAKING NOTHING ????
And even Philips headquarter in the Netherlands denies the existence of these Xenon bulbs and claims this might be a counterfeit Philips product and asked me to send them a bulb when I insisted the HPX20 I had on hand reads Philips on them ??????? (Didn´t heard of them since sending the bulb ....)
And the factory in HK Alan talked about does not "produce any flashlight bulbs" according to Philips headquarters. The HPX xx can´t be found in any Philips online or printed catalog - nobody I ever talked to seems to know about - so what is going on - ALAN ???
As the HPX20 I had does really throw such a nice beam (thx Alan for letting us know) and replaced the HPR52 in my Mag 2D I would really be interested in the HPX40 as well - and possibly especially in any 3,6V to 4V version (for 3 cells) as well.
So does anyone know about these bulbs ?
Does anyone has any specs on output / lumens
Does anyone knows about the complete HPX line
Does anyone knows how to get any (in europe) ?
Alan ? Anyone ?? HELP !!!
TIA for any help
