My formerly brighter and whiter 3D M*g loaded with 4C flashed the other night. Payed no real attention, it's not like I don't have back up... IN DEPTH!!!!

But this AM I dug out my spares box. Got out a Phillips 3.6V bulb and put it in (careful to leave no finger prints/oil on the bulb... hit the switch and POOF.

Maybe this light's switch just lost some resistence?

In any case, right now there is a 4.8V bulb in it. It still looks pretty good, until I shine the reference 3-123A/KPR112 light on the ceiling next to it. Shows it to be a weak sister.

Was my favorite D to C mod. Now just another M*g.

Phooey!

I like using high-output Halogens, but I can only find them locally in 2-cell increments... (2-4-6 cells)
