Need blub for Tekna-Lite 8

[coxhaus]

I have a Tekna-Lite 8. I am looking for an LED drop in bulb. Does anybody make one?
The light takes 8 AA batteries so I guess I need a 12volt bulb. I use it in my kayak in salt water and it floats if I drop it. I would like longer run time and a brighter light. I have pictures but can not upload them.

Not sure what the bulb looks like but you may have to look on ebay for LED dropins for power tool lights. Is that a PR base bulb or another type?

It is a pr based bulb. I wish I could post pictures.

If it is a standard PR base, I believe there are dropins for tool lights but they are not entirely cheap.
You could try contacting the dealer on ebay about this item

not cheap at $20 but that is the only dropin I have seen that is above 8v

If you could find a lower voltage LED dropin bulb you could always put in some dummy cells.

looks like the same bulb as on ebay, should be a few dollars cheaper depending on shipping charges.
