  • I have just received my grandfather's Mag Lite 2D (two D cells). The bulb is fine and probably there are spares in the drawer in his office.

    However, what is the best LED bulb to replace this?

    I suppose many are HK specials that may not perform well.

    Or, is it the same to buy one direct from China, rather than a UK seller?

  • many are HK specials that may not perform well

    Even a poor one will be five times better than an incandescent lamp. The best will only be about twice as good again.

  • Mm yea, I was editing my post to ask if they were all the same anyway. In no rush so I suppose up to a month wait for the same object at a half price is fine.

    A friend was recommending a Cree XHP 70.2, but said it was £££

  • So looking at the cost of the HK ones at a fiver and a torch forum recommendation of Terralux, looks like the question is now TerraLUX TLE-6EXB for £13 vs CREE xP-G2 S4 for £11
