Do you still own any non LED powered lights?

Other Types of Lights Non-LED Lanterns, Incandescent, and HID Lights

I have one in the Goodwill bag. Had a 6V cube cell that was well past its prime. Good road hazard light.

11

I have & use a Vintage Surefire Executive Elite. Solid performer. I will have it stock forever probably.

12

I still have lots of them in my collection, though many of them are original vintage & antique lights.

13

All of my flashlights are powered by batteries. I don’t have powered by LEDs.

14

Another question might be: What percentage of the lights you own used to be incan? For me it’s about 60%. This does not include lights I bought for the specific purpose of modding but were lights I already had.

15

That too. :stuck_out_tongue: i have converted many of my more moderns incans to LED.

16

Incan users will have the last laugh when a massive EMP or solar flare bricks all of our LED lights >)

17

My current EDC is a P60 incan. It’s an inexpensive Ultrafire 502B with a low powered incan drop-in.

I have several Mags I purchased new. I bought each one with the first paycheck from my jobs. It’s kind of my thing.

18

Then your behind the times

19

I have quite a few xenon bulbs for my Solarforce L2’s, the charger probably fried in the EMP wave though.

20

i still have lots of kerosene lanterns, Incans, and even some driverless LED flashlights with single resistors so i’m safe from EMPs. :slight_smile:

21

LOL. I’ve got a dandy little 4*AA flourescent - which uses batteries.

And a propane lantern on a pole off the top of a tank that I keep for emergencies. Got a multi-lifetime supply of mantles for that thing, too.

Plus a few incan hosts left over in case anybody complains about the rest of my lights.

22

Duh… :stuck_out_tongue: All my flashlights are powered by batteries too except for one searchlight which plugs directly to my car’s cigarette lighter jack (which gets its power from a battery by the way). :bigsmile:

Anyway I still keep a few incan flashlights stock like the searchlight mentioned above which has a 50W H3 bulb (are these counted as incans? ). No I don’t use them but its nice to have some in my collection. :slight_smile:

23

yes but not used often.
vintage and old school stuff i dont want to mod.
the ones i do use are big springtop lanterns that are recharged by solar panels in sheds,garages,ect.

24

Then I’ll just burn kittens… and that fat dude down the road. J)

25

Why not use the tesla battery pack from the car you posted a vid of a while back?

26

I burned my bulb out on my porter cable tool light, replaced it with this

Make sure you select the right voltage

Bright enough and will run FOREVER on the battery pack…

In fact these will fit in 1-4 C/D cell MagLites as well :wink:

27

very interesting, i wonder i one could replace that chip with an XP-L, perhaps double the lumens?

28

All my old incandescent flashlights have been converted to LEDs. Almost all are old Maglites.

29

was it cost effective to do so?
