Repairing mother-in-laws rechargeable torch (well it's sort of d-i-y), and
it turns out that all it needs is a new bulb: Krypton 4.8v 0.75a.

Loads of places sell these for around £1, but p&p ranges from £3 upwards.
Anyone know where to buy these for less, including the postage pls?

Got some nice little conversion kits for the Maglites...they work well.

OK, I have 3 Maglites: home, toolkit and bike, so a link please.

Oh dear. I got the link from here but it was ages ago. And it was a
place in the USA..I'm sure there are nearer ones now. But my memory has
just (since I started typing this!) popped up the name, so a bit of
exploring and I have:

Google finds loads of hits for "terralux maglite", and even Amazon sell
them. Not increibly cheap, and the USA source may be cost effective for
three of them.

Or soemwhere like Ultraleds.co.uk for LED conversion bulbs. Handy if
you've got C or D cell Maglites you want to keep, even better if you
put lithium cells into them.

CPC do an AA maglite LED module (LA02712) for £8.90 and a conversion kit with
push-buuton tail cap (LA02711) for £9.49 inc VAT

They also have 2-wire and C/D replacement LEDs - search for "Nite Ize"

Thanks for that - I'll bookmark it then search on ebay for tuits.

3 different sizes of torch, with AAA or AA, so 3 kits :-(
