Drop-in superbulb for Mag 3/4D?

9P12volt · Nov 19, 2005

I now know that the WA1160 is used in the 6volt MagCharger, but what is the best "drop-in" lumen increase for a 3 or 4 D-cell Mag, with no other modifications?

Thanks.

You want easy? You got easy! (and cheap) :naughty:

For the 4D drop in a Radio Shack XPR103, xenon 3.6v bulb. Yowzah!!!!

I've done this with four 6V flashlights with excellent results. I still don't know the lifespan of the bulb, but all four are running strong with regular use.

For the 3D, the simplest upgrade is dropping in 4C cells, turn over the spring in the bottom cap (remove spare bulb) and re-install. Use the same Radio Shack XPR103, xenon 3.6v bulb. It is guaranteed to please.

How about these:

I've been thinking about ordering one, I've sent them an email to see if they can ship to New Zealand. Anyone else used these drop in LEDs for either the 3/4 D mag, or the ones these guys are offering for the AA mags?
