Mag-Lite and PR Type white LED Flashlight Replacement Bulbs

LED Lighting

LED Flashlight Bulb Facts.

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 year, 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. We now are able to offer Red, Blue and Green LED bulbs that have the same characteristics as the Whites. 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 any of the flashlights or LED lighting products at this site.

The LED replacement bulbs we sell can be employed in any PR type flashlight or lighting device having the same size (9mm or 11/32" diameter) and type of bulb base/socket.

FACTS

LED bulbs emit a clear, pure White or colored light. The light remains as bright as with fresh batteries but diminishes in volume/ouput as the battery drains down.

The White LED bulb will never turn yellowish as the battery is being drained!

LED bulbs are virtually impervious to heat, cold, shock and vibrations. They operate from -40°C to +85°C with Lithium batteries, but within a much tighter temperature range with alkalines. 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!

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." .... Dan D., IL

Quote: "I experimented with the PR bulb replacement in the MagLite 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, Jonestown PA

The LED bulb in any color will produce maximum brightness with 3 each, 1.5V cells/batteries of any size. It will light up with 2 each, 1.5V cells/batteries to extend cell/battery life but the brightness will be reduced by one-third or more.

If you have a 4 cell or larger flashlight and want to use an LED Bulb, make a "dummy" battery or two to keep the voltage to 4.5V max. Use metal stock of the same diameter as the batteries to be replaced. Insert the dummy or dummies at the negative end of the battery stack.

NOTE: Bulb life is shortened when voltage used is in excess of what the bulb was designed to operate with ... 4.5V! May cause deterioration, shorten the bulb's life, or immediately burn it out!!!!

A tip for making a light weight Dummy D Cell from Bob Sheldon:
"I made a light weight dummy D cell from a piece of 1" or 1 1/4" PVC tubing, filled by gluing in a large wooden dowel inside and putting a 5/16" bold through the center for a conductor. I countersunk the head into the wood to make the negative contact. The bolt works well but could use improvement - perhaps a capped piece of copper plumbing pipe. The OD of the PVC was slightly larger than an actual D cell, but I have yet to see a tube style D cell flashlight that it won't fit in or is even snug, so there's no worry about where it goes. As far as weight, it's like a feather compared to a regular D cell."

An LED bulb will NOT allow adjustable light beam focusing. This bulb is a generic replacement, NOT a Krypton or Halogen replacement bulb. It will work in Mag-Lites and other focusing PR type flashlights.

Last but not the least:

An LED bulb will NOT be as bright nor project the light beam as far as a Krypton or Halogen. It's strenghts are:

.... long life, good for 10 years/100,000 hours of usable light!

.... increased battery and light life!

.... being virtualy un-breakable; impervious to heat or cold!

.... a White LED bulb will be sunlight white, NOT yellowish!

.... It will never fail you when you need light!

The LED Light welcomes additions, corrections or comments that will benefit the users of Mag Lites and other flashlights. For those who are into the mini Mags, that very yellow light it casts will hopefully soon be a thing of the past.

Thank you for considering the purchase of a White or colored LED replacement bulb or a flashlight from The LED Light. For those who have purchased a LED product from us, many happy hours of pure, bright light! We hope your future purchases will be from us.
