Hey Saaby,
I will donate DB 4AA to your collection if you want it and it is cool with your parents. It is a pretty decent light as is, and there are all sorts of things you can do to hot rod them if you decide you want to rewire it and run different bulbs and batteries.
As for the new Rayovacs, I went nuts and bought three new lights at Walmart last night. I got one of these new little Sporstmen LED, an interesting Rayovac kids flashlight and a Dorcy Cool Metalic.
The Rayovac Sportsman LED is pretty cool for the money (and being able to get them at walmart). Loads the three AAAs in a little cartridge, has click button switch, seems pretty sturdy. The light output is ok, about as bright as my ARC but a little tighter focused. I wandered around the house and backyard with it a little late last night. Plenty of light for bedside/in house power outage use or for walking fairly civilized trails, but not much range to it.
The Kids light (don't remember the name nor do I have it with me) is kind of neat because it has three different LEDs in it; one amber, one blue/green and one red. Also runs on 3 AAAs loaded in a cartridge, but a different one from the Sportsman LED. Click button switch also, and each click changes this to a different color LED (off, amber, blue/green, red, off). The amber not too inspiring, the blue green is not bad, and the red is rather bright. the blue/green and the red LEDs are set at the upper edge of the reflector, so their beams are distorted a little. The amber is set right in the middle and produces an ok beam. I have not tried to really take it apart yet, but seems like this might be a fun cheapie to add a couple of extra LEDs to.
The Dorcy Metallics looks just like the old metal Rayovac 2 D-cell that my grandmother used to have, but is made out of brightly colored aluminum (mine is a light metallic blue that matches my truck). Same two position slider switch with a red button for momentary on. Very light duty, but for only $3.59 it was too cool to pass up. They also had some Rayovac Xenon 2.4v .8a bulbs there that brighted it up a pretty good bit and make a nice white hotspot. It has a dimpled reflector that looks a little funny but seem to work ok. Very light duty light though, so i suspect even though it matches the truck it will spend most of its time indoors.
Walmart also had a couple new LED headlamps, and this store had added a peg of Brinkmann LXs, but i figured 3 was my limit for one night (and besided, I had just ordered a Inove X5 Tactical yesterday afternoon anyway
)!
