The Home Machinist!

This is a bit specific... but I'm looking for an LED replacement bulb for the bike flashlight that is essentially the OS Mogul headlight. I can find bayonet 3V LED flashlight replacement bulbs, but no E10 (screw base, 10mm, pretty common for flashlights and such). I hit about 10 sites based on Google results but no luck. Do any of you happen to have a supplier that might be a good place to continue my search? If I can't find one I will just convert the E10 base to a bayonet base, but would rather not...

Thanks,

-Richard

i hate to say it but look under led lighting on ebay. find a dealer and look thru the store they have. if that doesnt work send me a base and i will build one up. all we are talking is a resistor and a few led,s.

Autolumination is my go-to LED company:
http://autolumination.com/otherleds.htm I did a search and while E-10 bulbs came up, they all seem to be 12V.

Good Luck!

Perfect! Thanks so much. I ordered a few possible options from SuperBrightLEDs and will go from there.

Much appreciated !

Richard,
If i may make a suggestion... Your best shot is to contact Bob Crone. He is the dealer for O.S in the U.S and has everything you'll need.. If you want the factory bulb contact him. You can look him up through the O.S website under the "dealers and links" section in the English version of the website.
Good Luck!

Best wishes,
Nico Amato

I tried it, the LED replacement bulbs don't work. The reflector is wrong, as its conic instead of parabolic. All you'll end up doing is to light up the area right in front of your loco, with none out front. Save your money.

The best fix is to get a bicycle headlight with separate battery pack. Mount the LED part on the provided bracket, and some additional bits, and then get a Radio Shack 4 AA battery pack and stuff it in the headlight box behind the LED.

Tony, I should have just emailed you first. I'll go find a bicycle light...
