Hello Guys

Today I've found this OLD flashlight in a box that was in my garage.
I got this long time ago and now I don't know the direction of battery.
there are 2 holes as you can see on this Pic. they use 2AA Bat. and
has a click switch at the botton.
The Bulb looks OK and it is the type screw on.
what should I do to test and make work?
Thanks,

well... :devil:
Open the puppy up, insert batts in one direction - flip the switch *briefly*. Continue to try until you find the combination that works.

Hello GreenLed

I did try many ways :

(left and right )

+ down - UP
- UP +down
+down +down
_ UP _ UP

should be it right ? I think I will test the Bulb in other place...
but thanks for your help.

OK

I did test the bulb and is working fine...

and also I forgot to say that after the Bat. cover is out ( you can see they
are made of plastic) there's only conectors at the botton. sides are all made
of plastic too... How + and - make contact I don't know... It is very anusual...
I don' t even know the makers name or model to Google some Info.
Ohhh well ... :rant:

hello again....

I think I did.... but what is very anusual is that there's NO contact under the
caps and conection from one side to the other. they are separated and
the contacts that I can only see are at the botton the tube....? :rant:

Thank you !

I just found some Info on Google and this light use some military type
battery so noway to put it to work.
they say is it possible to use Alum.Foil on Reg.Bat to make work.
I will try....but will be better if I find Bats for sale on Ebay or at Surplus
Store...
