Most flashlights come with a cheapo stock bulb.

But you can go to a Radio Shack or other electronics outlet and usually buy a Krypton bulb of the same voltage that will give you a lot more lumens.

Remember, though, the brighter the light, the quicker the batteries give out!

LED is the only kind of light worth having, (and I think Tolerance has a cheap, or older model, or a small battery version of one).

Look what this light can do with a single AA battery. A Krypton bulb can't do this.

You should see what they can do with 4 AA batteries (and an led)!!!

I converted all of my Mag-lites to CREE LEDs.
