Do you still own any non LED powered lights?

Just a few old mag lights and a few random old flashlights I can’t bring myself to throw away.

I have several incan D-sized mags on hand to use as hosts, but none to use as incandescent light sources. OTOH I do keep a 2xAA Mag around for demonstration purposes.

Yes, a 6D cell Maglite that really doesn’t like the LED conversion that I bought for it. It made a couple of the D cell Duracells leak with enough pressure to pop the rubber switch cover off. I’ve bought some D>AA holders to try it with Eneloops but bought a couple of Solarforce L2 series lights and see no reason to go back.

I gave mine away after I got my first S2

I still enjoy lighting bonfires and fine cigars with the bunch of overdriven hotwire incans (170-300 watt) I have but they are just expensive toys. Fun to build, but expensive.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Then your behind the times

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

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:

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.

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:

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.

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