Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced DC5 24V LED Flashlight Retrofit Solution by Rodney Handy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Absolutely Terrible / Update 17.04.20 - see below

The first one I received had a crumpled tip. Was replaced by a second one. 2. does not work. I replaced the light bulb, turned it on, a low light bulb blinked and nothing. Replaced it with a lightbulb and it works. Replaced again, a faint blink, then nothing. TO UPDATE! 4/17: Believe it or not, it works. The problem is that this bulb CANNOT work with all regular flashlights! The depth between the flared end and the tip where the lamp connects to the spring/battery can vary by 1/32 inch. This is enough for it NOT to work. So I tried many flashlights and was finally able to get it working with my Bosch rechargeable/portable flashlight. This is because the bottom spring had more tension and could touch to make contact. Well, it works, it's bright: BUT! It MAY NOT fit top to bottom and may be too short to work with the flashlight you intend to use it for. So, like me, if you have regular bulb flashlights, you have to try them all to see which one really works. Absolutely. Is it still with the purchase? no But to be honest it works in the right flashlight if the depth is right. Best advice, choose another LED bulb that says it's OEM compliant. Or you're stuck unscrewing all your flashlights to see if it works or not.

Pros
  • βœ” Powerful LED bulb - 3W Cree LED chips, up to 200lm, 6000K daylight, P13.5S base.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
