hi everyone, i'm pretty new here but have been very much enjoying all the info on flashlights and lasers. i have a few questions i was hoping some of you might clear up for me. forgive me if the answers are already on the forum somewhere. anyway my first question is about bulbs, with LED's working so well - bright light, durability, low energy consumption - why do some high-end lights still come with incandescant bulbs? what is the advantage, if any? also, what is the typical lumen output of say a $5.00 2 C battery cheapie flashlight? and lastly, what size are lithium 123 batteries equivalent to dimension-wise, if any - AA maybe?
i have a favorite 6 volt ray-o-vac flashlight BTW, which i just ordered a replacement LED bulb for (it's incandescent now) from one of this site's sponsors. looking forward to seeing how it changes the light output. anyway all replies appreciated.
