Lifetime Supply!

[InvisibleFrodo]

I've been running a p60 on an 18650 Li-MN red labeled AW for a few years now (I never let the voltage go below 3.7 or 3.8v) and I swear the bulb looks clear as the day I bought it...

Seems odd but now that I think about it, yes; I can see the need for buying inca. bulbs in bulk.

This is the kind of first-hand info I love to see, thanks!

 

[alpg88]

the only bulbs i'd stock up on are wa1185, but i can't find them anywhere now

 

[mcm308]

I need to get bulbs for my A2 and M4.

Obviously the A2 I'll probably get a Tad socket and a bunch extras.

The M4 I have 2x16650 and I have a G4 halogen socket but not sure what bulbs to get. I am thinking Osram 64250 but read that they dont fit through the hole in the reflector.

I'm glad my current stock of bulbs will definitely outlive me, and likely heirs. Yet I'm still looking for more (like an idiot).

 

[LuxLuthor]

I'll make a list of all my bulbs. It's a large number!!!

This may be considered sacrilege, but I used an adjustable hand reamer of the right size to open up the "channel" on my KT-1 turbohead. It took me a while, but now it allows the insertion of third-party G4 base bulbs that are in the G4 adapter socket.

You did what?!!! With a what?!!!!!! Oh that poor poor thing😞

 

[peter yetman]

Way to go, Novice!

I'm gonna pretend I didn't read novice's post.

Dang I really need to step up my game. I wish I could find a cheap substitute for the 4D bipin mag bulbs. At $4-5 a pop its hard to stockpile those.

 

[jabe1]

I'm I have some, but didn't go nuts on them. I remember weighing it out for awhile, but I don't frequently use my I cans anymore, except for a Mag 2c ROP low with a FM lop reflector; amazing beam profile. I have 5 sets of ROP bulbs. That should hold me for a while.
I also keep a few Surefire bulbs and modules and have a few 1185 and 1111 bulbs.

Brinkmann made bulbs for a while.
Bipin? I don't think they ever did those for C/D lights but their krypton PR base were on par with Maglite and are still readily found at eBay. The best PR xenon were Maglite but they are getting pretty scarce.

I`v got a fairly healthy collection of e10 MES bulbs in assorted voltages from 1.2v to 12v lensed and unlensed, as well as a few 7.2v flange types for my 6Ds. But I`m really finding it hard (impossible) to source a bi-pin for 3 AA `maglite` clone/copy, I can`t seem to find anything even close, I`d buy half a dozen if I could.

Katherine Alicia,
I don't know if it is the right pin size, or what the output is, but you might try looking into the Streamlight 51102 bi-pin bulb for the Streamlight 51002 "twin-task" 3C light. The bulb and hybrid light have been discontinued, but you can find NOS in online searches. If you decide to try out one of these 2-Pk bulb sets, you might want to search for awhile, for I have found NOS Streamlight bulbs to vary quite a bit in terms of online prices.

Oh, and by the way, welcome to the forum!

 

[Katherine Alicia]

Thanks, I just had a look for those and found some but they`re all in the USA, and after postage and import tax it`s more than I paid for the torch! LOL
I`v seen some: Barthelme 20710330 Xenon High-pressure Bulb T1 3.0V 0.9W Bi-Pin that`s UK stock, and some streamlight propolymer ones, that will cost me £50 but there`s 9 of them.
As much as it goes against the grain, I may have to mod this myself eventually, I have several thousand 1W surface mount LEDs on a roll, it wouldn`t take much to put a small resistor on there and a couple of wires. it would be a decent stop-gap measure until I could source some propper bulbs (that I can afford! LOL) :-D

Until you find the 3 cell bulbs, you could run it on 2 cell bulbs with a dummy cell - won't be as bright but it will light up.
