Do you still own any non LED powered lights?

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

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

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?

30

Probably not but overall I just hate ditching any nicely machined almost all aluminum flashlight. It seems such a waste.

31

makes sense, the body is probably better aluminum and better anodized then most chinese lights

32

I still have some Maglites but they are not in service (and not worth converting). :smiley:

33

I have about a dozen little plastic single-AA incan lights that I give to my boys as ‘training lights’. They love flashlights, but I’m still teaching them to use lights safely (they’re 3 and 5). These little incans are cheap, like $.50 each, so I don’t mind if the boys break them, and they’re less than a lumen on a fresh battery so they can’t hurt themselves if they use the light wrong. They only get to use my LED lights on moonlight mode, and carefully supervised. For now, anyway.

Oh and I still have a Mag 2-D ROP. I have a few other Maglights left, but they all have LED conversions.

34

I’ve got several Surefire E2’s(a couple modded with LED’s), an M6(MN15), a pair of A2’s(incan/led hybrid), plus a couple of hotwire setups(1331 & 1185) in Solarforce hosts, plus a few p60-style incan dropins in various voltages, and I think I’ve got a 3D generic incan(not sure where it is).

drillbit

There are still quite a few around the house. Most just cheapy plastic things other people have/use.

I still have my MagCharger which I use.
