Cap,

So I just checked my Scorpion and don't you know there's a spare bulb behind the main bulb facing the battery. Replace it now IMO and use yours as a spare. They do burn out.

I sold one of the older Surefire setups on eBay last year: a bulb light and not LED so I thought to let it go since I have other LED lights. Had the nylon case, along with the red and blue lens covers--which made me post here thinking about the blue helping the Captain track blood in the dark--probably should not have sold it when I did.

Now have one of the nylon composite Surefires and a bunch of maybe outdated 123 batteries.

Bought a multi-function 4-Sevens LED light at Blade some years back, keep it at hand bedside--which reminds me I better check the charge. Then bought extra of the longer batteries it uses.

Also a smaller AA-powered LED that carries easy in a pocket, and any size bag.

And...Mag lights are setting by other beds = 2-D cell, and a 35-year-old 6-D cell setting by a key door.

They do add up.

Oh, and in Florida (as well as given to various friends) the inflatable solar chargeable lights that light up large areas for long times-per-charge. But...I had to remind a lady who plans to ride out the hurricane that she has one and maybe to charge it early!

And...a really bright flashlight app on my Samsung phone...probably a real battery drain, so somewhere there is a battery pack to recharge it.

Got All my flashlights out for Hurricane
Found batteries with expiration dates from 2010
Holy Charlie, Gene & Francis

Got 3 Maglites for truck carry

My 4 D cell works fine but the batteries exploded
took a day to fix had to drill it like a Dentist does a root canal and then fill it with Coke a Cola

Works great again

Don't know much about serial numbers but one is 2014 one has to be 20 years old

Whatever you do, don't look at a new LED ,it will blow you away. Even a small 1000 lumens flashlight will fit in you palm.

Mike,
Does your Fenix-Folks make a straight "on & off" button flashlight? I am sick and tired of having to go through several steps to get where I want to be and then off again...only to start all over again the next usage...
Capt. Chris

Yes they do. The main button is generally at the end and the different magnitude lumens is by the head. Once you select the lumen beam, when you shut it off, it stays at that setting. You might try Model PD35 TAC. It uses 2 123a lithium batteries.

Pap

Yeah Pap
what a bunch of crap
But the Maglite will get your attention especially 4 D cells

Pappy:

That is a Fenix on my shotgun by the door.

What model? I just ordered a HC42 1600 lumens and should be here any day now. The biggest problem with these newer high lumen flashlights, is not blinding someone.
