With the advances that the LED has made, it does make sense to phase out old technology, but it doesn't mean that there is no longer a market for it. I understand why many stores now only carry LED lights, but it is a shame that I have to go online to order a light based on such a simple concept of batter/wire/bulb.
For example, I went to Walmart a couple days ago to buy an incandescent flood flashlight to tide my NV illumination woes until my Surefire M1 arrives... Nothing but a wall of LEDs. Later that day I showed my nephew how to use his iPod to imitate NVG by using an IR light source, and he can't just go down to a local store and pickup a cheap incandescent light and throw a filter over the lens. I might just have to go to autozone and pick up some wire, bulbs, reflector, and a few adequate batteries and let him build one.
