I bought one of these bulbs from academy a long time ago. The batteries last almost forever with this bulb. When the kids want to use a flashlight, thats the one they get.
with the led, the power of the 6 cell is unnecessary. a much smaller light wil produce a remarkable amount of light and have a great run time. personally i have just recently converted some of my old streamlight stingers to led and and they are bright and run for well over 12 hours on a charge. the 6 cell light may still serve a purpose as a club, but will be considered a dangerous weapon if used that way...

LMAO! Considered a dangerous weapon by who? So can a brick. In defense of my life, the last thing I consider is whether or not the object I use is considered a dangerous weapon by anyone who’s not on scene. As long as I can prove how dangerous it is in the moment, I’m satisfied.
I was rooting around in the closet and found a mint condition 6D Maglite that I forgot I had . It's the old style bulb so it's more of a club than a useful light . Is there a conversion that can be done ( reasonably )to make it more efficient or should I just unload it ?
there are 3 watt LED bulbs by maglight if you wanna keep that Billy club. They’re definitely brighter than the incandescent bulbs of the day and it’s just a bulb change, super easy. I also have one of those (6D cell Maglights) still in the package and just couldn’t get rid of it.
They’re about 8 bucks on Amazon
