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 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.
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.
Duh… 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.
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.
