Here is the bulb chart from the 2002 Radio Shack Catalog. I find it very helpful in selecting a new bulb.

Thanks Roy, that's very useful. Anything of interest on the lower half?

This is what I want:
5 Cell 612 6.0 (volts) 1.7(amps) 10.2(watts) 14.5(mscp)
From carley, I'd drive at at 7.2 volts (6AA's in a 2d light). That is 180 lumens BEFORE you consider the overdriving! It would be VERY nice. Unfortunately, I don't know where I could get this krypton star 5 cell rechargable bulb. Plus I don't know any cheap 2D lights with aluminum reflectors ;-)
Oh, and the lower half is just a bunch of screw based bulbs that are mostly high voltage and low amps (10-30 volts, usually poor efficiency, and .1-.3 amps for the most part IIRC).
