A cool tool
I am very fond of the Kevin Kelly Cool Tools website (blogrolled to your right).
Today they feature
something that is very cool:
TerraLUX LED Replacement Bulb
Turn your Maglite into LED
This item converts any AA or AAA Maglite into an LED torch, with the same brightness as the original, the same ability to focus the bulb, much longer battery life, and eliminating the need to ever change the bulb again. It fits in the same way as the bulb, and does not require any modification to the Maglite. This is a way to keep on using the sturdy Maglite casing and benefit from LED technology.
Jen and I have a bunch of Maglites at the farm. Bulb life is not an issue but battery life is. Even at $20 each, these would save a bunch of money in the long run.
Available here:
PocketLights
and
Amazon
PocketLights also sells LED bulbs for
C and D model Maglites
TerraLUX also makes this puppy:
TLE-4VUV
Ultra-Violet LEDs... How cool is that!
