So I got a vintage flashlight at an estate sale.
Its a raovac sportsman 3 cell from the 1950s
Any one have any idea where I can get a bulb for this thing?
The thought of melting the reflector, or making it brittle from overheating, makes me think of keeping any mods quite conservative.
Here's what I would do.
Go with 7 NiMH cells and a Mag 6-cell Krypton bulb. The Krypton bulb will be a big brightness lift over the PR20, is identical in appearance, and because it draws no more power than the PR20, will generate no more heat.
(You can also use the Xenon bulb, but that differs in both light colour and bulb appearance.)
Ok, thanks for your help, Tardylocks.
I see what you did there, and while it was funny, it was quite offensive. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
Jerk.
Really?
Which of the 150 million different bulbs on offer should I get?
Can I award points? I want to award points.
Also, for your disrespectful nature I nominate you for one noogie

I would get the one that fits
What's the bulb behind the light in the picture?I know, but it didnt have one in it to begin with so I have no idea what to get.

Thats one I bought at frys without really knowing what I needed
Its way too small to fit. I went back later with the part and there werent any that would fit at all.
I may go to radio shack tomorrow , I guess.
Will that LED mod for the MagLite fit?
No idea, I was really hoping to just find a bulb
Anything more will likely be more effort than Im willing to go to.
I ask because the LED MagLite bulb is awesome.

Yeah, bring the full flashlight to a radio shack. About the only thing I can tell you is that it needs a 4.5V bulb.Thats one I bought at frys without really knowing what I needed
