Dorcy 40-Lumen 4.5-6-Volt LED Replacement Bulb with 10-Year Lifespan, (41-1644) , Silver

This bulb working good on last camp trip. Replaced an old burned out incandescent bulb. This bulb was a little shorter than the original so the bottom tab in the bulb socket needed to be pried up a little bit. Be careful and use a needle nose to grab the tab! Bright light indeed!

Perfect little bulb for what I wanted. A smallish, very small power draw LED bulb used with multiple D cells for a very long ON time (but dim) emergency bulb.Sounds extreme but anyone needing at least a bit of light for a long time (good for the safe room, or tornado room in the basement - especially if trapped in there) using nice big fully charged quality D cells, would appreciate these. Way better than no light at all! Allows you to at least find your way around the room if in a camping lantern type of fixture. You are not going to read using this unless inches away.If you want a bunch of light to flame around like the torch flashlights, this is for SURE not it!!! Just a few candlepower, but safer than an oil lamp or candles, no toxic or obnoxious vapors, and will go a long time on D's. Anyone who says this was fairly bright has NO experience with powerful Cree LED torch lights. Nice white light, dim, but a power miser. If this is what you need, this is FINE! I have no regret buying this for what I intended it to do.

In a 4 D cell flashlight, it throws out very bright beam for good distance. And being somewhere around a 120mA bulb, should be kind to the batteries. Those having problems with this bulb providing enough light are probably using it with 2 or 3 cell flashlight in my opinion. Those commenting that say they have 4 cell flashlights seem generally pretty happy, as am I. My only criticism is that there is a round shadow in the middle of the beam. And the flashlight can no longer focus beam, though it had that ability with krypton bulb. But even if not perfect, for the money it gives a good strong beam of light and batteries should last well. This is just an old flashlight I resurrected for infrequent use. Better than the cheapo plastic LED flashlights where the batteries last longer than the flashlight....An update. After bit tinkering finally got my flashlight adjusted to do away with the round shadow in middle of beam. Hadnt used the flashlight for so long, I'd forgot some of its secrets. It gives nice strong beam, goes completely across my yard and into woods. Around eighty feet or so. Plenty bright for my needs. Though sure it depends on the particular flashlight and the quality of its reflector, yadda, yadda, yadda.... But if you have a favorite old 6V incandescent flashlight using PR style bulb, I'd say give this a try. The cheap plastic LED flashlights for sure dont hold up and for most part arent repairable. This bulb used in a good incandescent flashlight might. And no vulnerable non-replaceable external LED circuit boards to deal with.

definitely brightened up the old flashlight

These dorcy led replacement bulbs are a fantastic way to breath new life into your old flashlight! Probably not as high tech or bright as some of the pricer optikns out there, but these are a great equivalent bulb that will most likely still be brighter than any old incandescent style bulb. Like the pure white light and since its led it will make batterys last way longer. Highly recommended cheap upgrade! Works well in 3 cell maglites!

Hello everyone,I am somewhat disappointed in the LED bulb as it lumens @ 40 is not what I expected. The picture on the left with the shows the pattern in the same flashlight, the upper dot is the DORCY spot, compared to non-LED light patters and brightness of the original bulb it is disappointing. Lower your expectations in brightness by 40% for the gains of lower amps used and perhaps longer life- the Chinese made LEDs do not last 10,000 hrs for sure, and since I only had it for a day I can't comment but would not bet on it. Bottom line I would not recommend this bulb. Too low of a performance in terms of lumens for the money.

I guess congratulations are in order.Bought this for an older flashlight, whose bulb finally died after forty years, expecting it to be brighter and lengthen its battery life , only to find it to be much dimmer and kill the flashlight’s battery twice. Not sure how they achieved that, but they were successful.

This LED bulb is considerably brighter than the old incandescent that I replaced in my 6V lantern. I don't have a light meter so I cannot attest to how many more lumens it emits. Who cares? It's much brighter and should make the battery last longer.I apparently handle the lantern roughly too, as the vibration or wear & tear was killing the incandescent lamps. In the time I've been using the LED bulb I would have had to replace the old lamps at least 2 times. Definitely recommended.
