I was in the local Fred Meyers (local chain kinda like a Walmart) and saw these hanging on a stand by the door.
2D
single speed 27 Lumen
8.5 hour runtime
Xenon bulb
on/off switch on the barrel
on clearance for $12.49
Not a big fan of maglites, but for the price I couldn't resist. Put some batteries in it and yup, it puts out the same old doughnut hole beam on flood, and a blobby mess when focused. Still, the price was right and I don't have any 'D' cell flashlights, but I do have a bunch of 'D' cell batteries for my Ray-O-Vac Sportsman lantern.
I was thinking that I could convert it to an LED bulb and have a nice low power light that would run for a very long time on 2 'D' cells. It might make a nice kitchen drawer or glovebox light.
So can anybody recommend a good LED drop-in for this light. I prefer quality over output so something in the 50-200 lumen range would be just fine. I have plenty of other lights for when I need Lots-O-Lumens.
Thanks in advance!!!
