Replacement bulb for Philips HPX41 4.8V 0.9A

[solidstate42]

I'm looking for a replacement bulb for my LumiLite Z-Lite Lantern that I'm restoring. I've been able to find a 4.8V 0.7A from Radio Shack & a 4.8V 0.75A made by Coleman. Is the Philips HPX41 still made? If not, is there another 4.8V 0.9A bulb out there? Thanks.

What is the difference between a Krypton bulb and a Xenon bulb, if any?

The literal answer is that one has a Krypton gas fill, the other Xenon. Both are inert gases that will supress the oxidisation of the filament. Both are much whiter than standard vacuum/nitrogen/argon bulbs.

The practical answer is that Xenon bulbs are typically brighter than Krypton for a given power consumption, but Krypton are typically more tolerant of being overdriven without

And then there are Halogen bulbs like the Philips HPR50 (5.2v 850mA) to throw into the mix...
