Reached out to Carley and they can still produce the 1794 bulb. Is anybody interested in doing a group buy? Pricing, timing and other specifics TBD. The minimum order size is 25 units.

We are the only folks here. Kids here won't understand what are we talking about

Are these the ones that blow up?

I get everything from generic halide spark-type bulbs with no “1794” on the entire page, to Toyoter car-bulbs, to rando bulbs with “1794” somewhere in the catno.

What’re we talking about?

Yes. A batch of them did in 2009, anyway.

They are Halogen bulbs that were popular 13 years ago. I think they were Maglite drop-ins.

Aha. Kinda like “Roar Of Magpie”, then.

I still got a… Thrunite or Trustfire… drop-in that I still haven’t “machined” to fit my 3D Mag, so I guess I’ll be a nope.

Lightbringer, I didn’t see them on their site either so I emailed them. The reply was that they would be happy to produce a run of them. Minimum quantity only 25 bulbs… But I don’t need or want 25 bulbs.

I voted no because I don’t know what that is, and I fear the unknown.

Any info on the bulb specs, I don’t know this number and Google doesn’t show anything up. I suspect you’d get much better feedback and interest with more details. :slight_smile:

It runs 2s voltage and I believe about 3 amps? I haven’t found to official specs myself.

ok no probs.

I guess I’d want to know things like fitment, is it a bi-pin, if so is it G4, G3, etc.

What sort of voltage and wattage it is rated at.

Price (+ shipping to the UK).

Dependant on those factors I could well be interested.

Oh my mistake. Yes its a bi-pin. Technically its a G1.5 T1.5 according to Carley (??). Price would be under $15 before accounting for shipping at all.
