Hey, do you think there is any kind of aftermarket bulb i could put in this. I know it's a cheap everready light. Was just wondering if you think i could get an aftermarket bulb to fit for $hi#$ and giggles. Thanks.

Sorry for the low quality pics. Not the greatest camera. It sure is cool though MP3 player and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Get 2 cheap 3AA to 1D adapter and a m@glite 6 cell bulb.

Go to Sears ad get the Craftsman LED upgrade bulb...and it will go in just about any P-6 bulb style light you own...regardless of how many batteries (ok, it's rated to 14.5 Volts...so it would work in an 11-D Maglite ...not a bad upgrade for old junkers ou have laying around and turning them into tools once more!

Is that what style that light is in my everready P-6?

He MIGHT actually mean PR type bulb which is indeed what came in your cheap light.

If SMJLED-PR are still out there one of those isn't killer bright but beats the snot out of the rings and artifacts of a stock bulb!

EDIT: If you go for the 3AA-D holders a 5 or even 4 cell Krypton will live for a while on 6.

Yes, PR type bulb...a4d, this is the best upgrade for those lights with out spending more than you should...sure, I guess you could spend $100 and turn it into a cannon, but for $15 you'll have a much better light for the cost with the Craftsman LED...and, when that flashlight bites the dust, go out and get another $3 eveready, and put your Craftsman LED bulb in that. Hope this helps!

PR compatible LED drop-in is the best way to take cheapo lights like that and make them very useful.

With 6AA in battery carriers, you can use, in brightness order:

LMSA601 (6-cell Magstar Xenon)
KPR113 (the famous 4.8v 0.75A Krypton)
HPR71 (6v 10W halogen)
RoP-low (Pelican #3854L) - 6v 11w

That's about the limit with the plastic reflector and bulholder.

Done all 6. Definitely worth doing.

My paypal is backed with CC only, and items bought with it clear immediately. No wait.

Kai sells them.
