Might be good for 5 watter mods as you could use a stepdown converter. A tad on the long side (a couple feet), but hey, some people like that. All the more to play baseball with (perhaps with an intruder's head also). So yeah, if a two foot long flashlgith is your thing, go for it.

Is it a torch or is it a truncheon?
It's both!
12 c cells...that'll give you 18V! You could run an awsomely bright bulb.
However, it is stressed that the torch is a vintage model. I'm not sure what the bulb is. I've only seen PR bulbs up to 7.5V.

rycen · Nov 21, 2002

I am 90% sure that it is PR based.

Tater Rocket · Nov 21, 2002

There are PR bulbs for 18 volts. They are for those 18v worklights. $5.50 for 2 bulbs. Rated 300 lumens I think.

If you look at the picture of parts, the bulb socket appears to be a threaded E-10 bayonet type.

The 2002 Radio Shack catalogue shows various curiously low output higher voltage, low amperage E-10 bulbs. For example: a 14.4 V bulb runs at 100 mA and generates 9 lumen.

It is PR based

Tater Rocket · Nov 21, 2002

Wow, 14.4 volts and 100 ma= 1.44 watts at 9 lumens? That is pathetic, less than 7 lumens per watt.

Rycen:

I hope you're right about the PR base. E-10 bulbs are generally unattractive.

Can you explain the threaded appearance of the socket in the picture?

rycen · Nov 21, 2002

lemlux,
what particular pic do you see this in?

Nerd · Nov 21, 2002

I don't know about you guys but that thing gives me the impression that if I am going to wack anything with that torch, it's going to break into half and that's that.... 12 D batteries inside the barrel ain't going to help anything.

lemlux · Nov 21, 2002

Rycen:

I'm looking at the bottom right piece in the center picture.

It looks like a threaded E-10 socket on a removable disc, but I suppose it could be a spring on the endcap now that I look at it again. The picture detail isn't very good.

rycen · Nov 21, 2002

That is the end cap as you thought.

EMPOWERTORCH · Nov 23, 2002

What diameter is the head? Maybe a small dichroic might fit inside the head?

Larry1582 · Nov 23, 2002

That would go good with the 12 D battery L.A. Screw flashlight I already have in my collection. I had to find a DeWalt tools 18v PR bulb to put in it. Not the best beam shot, but it was just for the collection.

Hey, if the light doesn't work, you can always play baseball with it. TX

Larry1582 · Nov 24, 2002

Well, got out bid in the last few seconds. Bummer. Would have made a great addition to the collection.
