single D cell torch?

ive been searching and nothing. we only have d cell batteries free at work, and the yellow plastic 2 cell lights they give are pitifu

anyone know of a good single D cell light?

IMO single D´s are quite rare, can´t think of any right now...

i cant find any, ive seen some multi cell lights, like 3+ cells. ive looked many times over the last couple months

2 D woot light is worth hunting down

i have 6 i wish I had 60

considered cutting one down but .......why ?

ElectoLumens used to make a 1D Blaster, I keep hoping that some day he would make another batch. There are peeps that can cut down maglites and thread them so there 1D but I’m not sure how well they run without a driver mod.

I’ve seen a plastic 1D light that’s also very sad plastic fella. Otherwise I’m stumped.

Perhaps a sk68 a d cell cradle, some soldering and a bit of tape :bigsmile:
Would be very cheap….and is able to run on 1.5V with a d cell some hours….

I think I’d rather ask one of the people here to cut down a 2D maglite, down to 1D size
:wink: if I’m duct taping something together its not going to leave the work bench :wink:

To find a host you could search after 32650 a D cell is 32600…

This is an possible example, description says its able to run from 0.9V so check it out… http://dx.com/p/saik-sa-305-cree-q2-wc-3-mode-140lm-white-led-flashlight-3-aa-42672
But there are quite expensive diving lamps out there in this diameter, but I’ve not seen one which is capable of one D cell from stock.

So the thread starter should mention budget and if it should be DIY or not…

Found this:

Dorcy product……or maybe a garity?

hey guys, thanks for looking out, but i gave up a long time ago haha

Well, for a cheap host here’s a pair for $5 from Amazon. Not stellar reviews on quality but a cheap priced host to mod maybe.

I have one, its almost all plastic they have an SMD led, a whopping 10 lumens. There almost 2D in length with a really large spring in the body so you can use 1D cell

This is from Amazon

You pointed out that they are 10 lumen, since they are so cheap and with two in a pack, they almost sound like a great black out gift for our relationships who we just cannot introduce to preparedness.

What do you think? Are they adequate enough for that?

Yeah, there adequet for that, but don’t leave alkaline batteries in a light for a year+ at a time. I bought mine from Rona, been using it as a battery vampire

I would like a C or D version of the Sipik sk68, that would be neat.

I would like to see someone come up with a Pak-lite led device to hook onto a D-battery, for longgggggggg term black out use as a tiny lantern.

Maglite really should introduce 1D and 1C models these days.

the problem being 1d or 1c either needs three smaller primaries ( aa or aaa) in series or one lithium 3.7v cell to really give decent output.

I take it by “decent” you mean maximum. Not sure why everyone is so obsessed with maximum output from their LED. Run time is important too.
