Doc and others,
If you have store or like that carries Garrity brand, pick up two
cell AA flashlight. Plastic body, but ends are rubberized, has
rubber tog attached. Reflector is faceted and projects bright spot
far away. So far I'm still on orignal bulb and replaceable with
any standard bulbs anywhere. Switch is push on-push off button type
not those crappy slide type. The Maglite bi-pin bulbs are big
pain, they burn out quickly, hard to find and costly. Yes I had all
types of flashlights including Maglite.
Yes, but I don't think a double-AA light is gonna carry comfortably.
As far as the Maglite bulbs, this Micro is on its 12th battery or so,
and it has [what's left of] a Camel logo on it. I quit smoking in
'93....
Yes, I did know there's second bi-pin bulb held in
place of red
holder in Maglite's end cap hidden under that spring.
That, I didn't know. I might need it in a few years.
