Torch bulbs?

[GB]

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?

ebay is often good for these odd bits and bobs (if you can't source them from a hardware store locally).

Eg 2 for £2.50 free postage

or

2 for 99p + £1 P&P

Ah, thanks. That's great!

Changing the torch for an LED one if its frequently used is probably a better bet now .

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.

[Bob Eager]

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:

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"

[PeterC]

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 :-(

[PeterC]

Cheers. I see that the £ figure = $ figure yet again.
