These are two from that year.
Are you sure you dont mean a vertical filament, like in this bulb? Ive used these in a Maglite to good effect. I think newer ones returned to a conventional horizontal wire, unfortunately.Those eveready bulbs had a horizontal filament, producing an absolute laser beam of light. I could _see_ items at 200 yard with a 2d mag back then with this bulb.
Can you still buy those 2 cell Krypton bulbs?

Here is a picture of one of mine. Halostar 64410. Only 10W but lasts long & throws far for its output. Very practical bulbs for general use.

Like this? Only with a PR base?100% sure. It was a next gen looking bulb back in the 80s. The tip had a little curve where it was snipped off. Filament was horizontal and held with clamped 'risers'. Looked a LOT like a osram/carly/high-end type bulb.
An M61😂😂😂So which bulb is the brightest in my old school 2D Maglight? Krypton, Xenon, Halogen or what? I'm so confused!![]()
Halogen if it doesn't melt things.So which bulb is the brightest in my old school 2D Maglight? Krypton, Xenon, Halogen or what? I'm so confused!![]()
I think I put a glass lens in, is there something else that I have to worry about melting?Halogen if it doesn't melt things.
Oh yeah. Who makes metal or glass ones?The reflector its blue plastic.
I'm pretty sure I have seen some on the market (metal).Glass would be bad, if dropped it shatters. You could fabricate a metal one though. The design is one piece and fairly simple.
