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

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.

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!

I got one of these bulbs to try out in an old lantern that uses the big rectangular 6V batteries. Compared to the original "krypton" bulb, it's just not as bright. It's still a very usable light output level, but the downgrade in light output is why I took off a star. The good news is in how little current is needed now to power the light. My quick and dirty measurement with the original bulb was about 800 ma. WIth the Dorcy LED bulb, the light only used about 85 ma. That should mean a huge improvement in battery life. The Dorcy LED bulb also produces a whiter and more even light beam than the original incandescent bulb. Just an additional note: I found some Rayovac LED bulbs locally that seem to be the same as these in appearance and performance for a little bit less. Cost of gas to go get them from the big box store probably washes out the savings, but if you're going there anyway, it's another alternative.

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.

Works in an old fashioned 6V flashlight without modification. Just replace the old bulb and turn it on. It's brighter than non-LED bulbs, but not a lot. It does not turn the flashlight into a super spotlight. Other more expensive products might be brighter. The upside of not being super bright is that it probably uses very little power so the 6V battery should last a long, long time. The only improvement I might suggest is a broader LED beam angle. Almost all of the light is very narrowly focused. One of the purposes of a larger 6V light is to illuminate broader areas. The narrow beam angle defeats this purpose.

Really disappointed with these bulbs. We bought two of them for two flashlights that have the 6 volt square battery. And, yes, the description says that these bulbs are intended for any 4.5 to 6 volt flashlight. So, that should not be a problem. The first thing that I noticed is that the light pattern is about 12 inches in diameter at about 15 feet. There was a dim amount of splash over light around that, but not much. In essence, the light just doesn't fan out. Then, while I was installing the second bulb, I left the first flashlight on. It began to blink. It went off for perhaps 4 or 5 seconds and then came back on for perhaps 10 seconds. The light pattern for the second flashlight was even smaller than the first. It didn't even have a round light pattern on the wall; it was more football shaped. The color of the light pattern on the wall was even a different color. One was more daylight, while the other tended to be a little more bluish. I don't know how so many found these as good. Our experience is that these are useless bulbs and a significant downgrade.

Wow, after using led for so long now, I came across an old flashlight that I think I used to think was a good flash light??? It was so dim I don't know how we ever used it. I could have just thrown it out for the cost of buying a new flashlight, But I hate putting anything in the garbage that isn't totally unusable. So for under 3 dollars I bought this little bulb and have saved the landfill from my flashlight! This isn"t a bright light, but it is usable and it will work in an emergency! I couldn't be happier with this little bulb.

Et même génial pour moi. C'est une ampoule LED aux dimensions des ampoules à filament des lampes de poche usuelles (Longueur 2,2 cm et diamètre 0,9 avec une collerette de diamètre 1,3 cm - NE PAS SE FIER AUX DIMENSIONS INDIQUÉES PAR AMAZON et autres revendeurs de ces lampes qui ont dû faire des erreurs de traduction). Si vous ne voulez pas jeter vos anciennes lampes de poche, c'est vraiment l'achat à faire (ces lampes consomment 20 fois moins et éclairent au moins aussi bien, moi je trouve mieux). Parce que les anciennes lampes de poche utilisaient des piles de grande capacité (et pas les nouvelles !), vous bénéficiez ainsi d'un éclairage portatif d'une durée de vie incroyable.

Good

Excelente compra, justo lo qué necesitaba con urgencia está lámpara clásica de los años 80,s del Siglo pasado triste arrumbada sin un foco LED DORCY buena compra

Great product by Dorcy and great shipping by Amazon. This bulb works in all regular flashlights that take 3-4 alkaline cells, including the little emergency flashlights that are sold almost everywhere, it comes with batteries and has no screws holding it together. It can easily be opened by prying apart and the bulb and batteries replaced (4 AA cells). Check [...] or [...] or http://www.amazon.com/Garrity-Disposable-Life-Lite-Flashlight/dp/B0007N20JY This LED bulb will allow the batteries to last up to 15 times longer than if you were using a regular incandescent bulb. Light quality is better as well as light dispersion. Thank you Amazon for the pricing and the uberfast delivery.

This just replaced an existing dim incandescent bulb in a torch with failing batteries (4 x AA = 6v). The lamp is now very bright on the same batteries. This is normal with LED bulbs. I have read reviews that say the lamp is dim and I expect that this is because fewer batteries (cells), which add up to a lower voltage, are used. Anyway, this one is decent quality, fitted easily and arrived promptly. I expect it to outlive me with its 10 year active life. LED is certainly the way to go, I think.
