ok, so i'm out to modify my torch. being in a country where i can't get access to any WA products or carley, or anything else half decent, i ran to my local 'lamp specialist' to find the brightest bulb for 6volts.

so the best they had, was a 6v 10W bi-pin bulb...which was rated 150lumens.

sounded good to me.

took it home, modded it, and chucked it in a PR base.
into my Mag..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif (dissapointment)

my halogen bulb from k-mart is brighter! and cheaper too.

did i do something wrong, or is a 10w pretty weak?
