Pelican 3854s

Opened my last pack of Pelican 3854s last week for a ROP build.

What a great bulb. Probably the biggest gateway bulb to Hotwires.

Feeling a bit nostalgic.

Agreed - they gave great results without requiring you to learn a lot of details or collect a lot of specialized parts.

I'm down to a single 3854 low and trying to keep it going as long as possible.

I know I have another pack somewhere.
But I've looked all over to find them with no luck.

Could this be a possible "almost rop"

The abovelinked bulb is about the same as a rop low.but it has a lens tip.
Running nicely on 2 26650 in a old safety light
