Hi All,

I have a couple of lamps Id like to upgrade to LED, but am unsure what bulbs to buy...,,

First is a Coleman camping light that has 4AAs arranged 2 in // in series with 2 in // such that I presume they provide 3V at the bulb. The previous bulb was a push in type as commonly found in bike lamps.

The other is a 3 x D Cell Maglite. (Cant remember offhand what sort of bulb this takes). Id rather go for something that will just plug in and work rather than converting an existing bulb (if that is possible).

Can anyone give me links to suitable bulbs on eBay / Amazon / wherever (prefer to buy single bulbs rather than 10 off)

Cheers

Whichever you buy, PLEASE point it downwards. I'm getting tired of being
semi-blinded by idiots on bikes who have their lights pointing too far
ahead. I'm generally anti-legislation but bike lights are now so bright
that we need some rules on intensity and potential to dazzle other road
users. If a car driver is dazzled they can't see other road users, and
that's bad for everyone.
