Anyone have the before and after pic? I just got my bulbs in from Brinkmann but I dont have a camera. The Nexstar bulbs are brighter but I cant really tell how much brighter by looking at the beams a couple seconds apart (changing the bulbs back and forth). TAI
Picture comparison between Mag AA with Nexstar bulb?

Anyone have pics of the nexstar bulb vs the standard mag AA?
The OEM Mag 2AA bulb draws 0.30 amps
The Nexstar @AA bulb is said to draw 0.45 amps.
It is easier to find a Radio Shack replacement bulb that draws 0.43 amps. That's what are in mine at the moment. I imagine that the Brinkmans should be about 5% brighter.
What I'd like to find is a T-1 bulb that will run with Nimh's or Lithiums and is rated at 2.4 V or less and 0.70 to 0.85 amps. That would provide normal premium 2D alkaline brightness with a run time of about 2 hours.

Hmmm. The problem is, I have WriteRight on all my upgraded lights now (inside the lens) so they seem to put out about as much light as stock, but in a smoother pattern. And the other problem is that I've trashed all my stock bulbs. Damn. Sorry about that, I totally forgot...

FNG,
I have your pictures, but couldn't get them stored on Image Station & don't know how to post them directly, so I'll email them to you. TX
edit:
I emailed the pictures, but it was returned as undeliverable. ???
