For the handiest,
most used lighting 'TOOL' ever devised, the FLASHLIGHT has not had much
of an improvement in light quality, bulb durability, and battery life.
That is until now!
In the past 2 years,
a White LED replacement bulb for PR type flashlights has emerged to
give flashlight users the best of lighting, quality of light and long-term
economy. Light Emitting Diodes have changed how light is produced, how
bright, clear and unglaring White light can be. The LED Light
presents some facts about these LED flashlight replacement bulbs so
you may better understand what you are about to receive upon purchase
of theLED flashlight bulb.
The LED replacement
bulbs we sell can be employed in any ordinary PR type flashlight
or lighting device having the same size (9mm or 11/32" diameter) and
type of bulb base/socket.
The PR Bulb
has a flange base designed to drop into most standard flashlights, headlamps
or lanterns that use 3 cells/batteries (Total of 4.5v) of any type including
rechargeables. These bulbs will NOT work with 2 cell/battery flashlights
The PEZ Bulb
has a screw base, designed for "petzl" type headlamps, and others with
screw base sockets. These will also work with lanterns that are powered
by no more than 4.5v.
FACTS
An LED bulb
will be as bright or brighter than a Krytpon or halogen, but it will
NOT project the light beam as far, or as wide. It's strenghts are:
LED bulbs emit a
clear White light. The light remains as bright as with fresh batteries
but diminishes in volume/ouput as the battery drains down.
LED bulbs are virtually
impervious to heat, cold, shock and vibrations. Drop it, bang it around,
forget it for months or years and it will still work!
An LED bulb does
not heat up or have a glass encloure that can explode, so are inherently
NON-incendive!
LED bulbs last 100,000+
continuous hours when used at the rated voltage. Light volume/ouput
gradually diminishes allowing time to replace the bulb, if it ever comes
to that.
LED bulbs emit maximum
brightness at constant ON mode for 5 times or more hours longer than
incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs give you bright light until the battery
dies.
Supposedly "dead"
batteries used with incandescent bulbs or other battery powered products,
will power up an LED Bulb!
LED bulbs provide
a ten-fold increased measure of safety and security for public safety
personnel, emergency personnel, private security personnel.
You WILL have light when you need it the most! An LED bulb will
never go out on you without warning!
An LED bulb will
NOT allow adjustable light beam focusing the way you are used to
as it is a generic replacement, NOT a Krypton or Halogen replacement
bulb built for focusing. It will work in focusing PR type flashlights,
but will not focus the light as well.
The white LED bulb
will produce maximum brightness with 3 each, 1.5V cells/batteries
of any size, including three 1.2v rechargeable batteries.
We
DO NOT have replacement LED bulbs for any brand of 2 cell/battery focusing
flashlights!

Quote: "I never
realized how much yellow was in the light coming from the original bulb
until I saw the dazzling-white light from yours!
At lower voltage, simulating quite worn batteries, the brightness did
diminish, as expected, but there was NO color shift to yellow/orange
like a normal bulb. The light output remained a dazzling white." ....

Quote: "I
experimented with the PR bulb replacement in my 3 D cell flashlight.
I ran the light for 3 full weeks continuously and after the third week,
the light was able to produce enough light to read a newspaper. I also
checked the voltage of the 3 batteries, and all 3 were at 1.0V. I thought
you might find that info interesting." .. Gary Wolfe, GW Electronics,
