I have an Ultrafire L2 and I'm pretty sure the bulb is defective (it stopped working after only 1 month of use). Where can I get a replacement bulb? I've looked on ebay but it looks like most of those bulbs are junk. I really need the cheapest I can find, but would like something at least 65 lumens that won't die quickly.

Get this one, it's not top quality, but you did post in the budget light section afterall: sku.32953 (dealextreme.com)
It should last you a lot longer than a month, and the 320lumen output is accurate at start-up, maybe it's even a bit more.. But the output does tail off as it's run direct drive. It should give you '50,000' hours of life, but it's the quality control that can be lacking, at the price though just order two and then if one breaks you have a spare anyway

Don't throw away the old drop-in though. It may well be that the driver circuitry burned out but the LED is okay. So if you can use a soldering iron (or might at some time in the future) then that "bulb" might come in handy some day.

I know it's only a $30 flashlight, but shouldn't it be covered by a warranty exchange after only one month?

It sounds like maybe a bad driver and it may have even almost burned out the emitter.
If you can test the emitter directly with some wires and a single CR123 that will tell you if the emitter is working. If so, then it's the driver.
If it still burns dimly it's probably both.

Thank you everyone for you comments/suggestions. I really appreciate them.
I don't know much about flashlights, so I'm guessing if its something other than the bulb and batteries (e.g. emitter etc.), I might as well just buy a new light.
Also, its not a LED, its a Xenon 6v bulb.
