I used to use those old Krypton bulbs. They were better than the original but the problem with the incandescent bulb is they starts to go dim right away. Where as with the LED, that doesn't happen. The battery voltage can be so low the incandescent bulb barely shines. But the LED at the same voltage is still bright as ever. Its only when the break over voltage point of the (LED or semi conductor) falls below its break over voltage point, the LED begins to blink and then go dark. Yup the LED is a great technical advancement to the flash light. A few years ago I installed one in my old 4-D and it made a huge difference. I never know when the batteries are getting low because the light is always bright. LOL! I recently bought a new 2-D one. Get this, its half the voltage and twice as bright! And it has two settings. I also got a 2- AAA mini mag for my mom's purse. It blows away the 2-AA mini mag I had years ago. Oh the LED can take some punishment unlike the old incandescent. However!,,, with a possible EMP attack in our future, all bets are off, ha! <img src="/images/smilies/nervous.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":nervous:" title="Nervous    :nervous:" data-shortname=":nervous:" />....About the solar storms giving us a knock out blow.. There's a naturally produced EMP. I remember the big one decades ago in the north east and Canada. Surprise everyone, the sun runs our climate and can fry our electrical grid in seconds. Some of the generators we have here in Hawaii are from the 40s.... Were talk'n Tesla equipment. We do have some computer control over the system. But from I hear, we're behind the times over here in D land. I very surprised the all the annual and sporadic meteors the slam our atmosphere every day don't do way more damage to our satellite networks. I'm bummed the we missed the peak of the Perseid shower because of bad weather and that dick that started that fire. But how's this?!  We've never knew the Perseid shower to peak on a different morning then  Aug. 13th.  For some strange reason, it peaked on the morning of the 14th. Not only did it peak, it was way more active than usual;  What the hell!?  Why was the meteor filament so late????? I want my money back.... <img src="/images/smilies/chuckles.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":chuckles:" title="Chuckles    :chuckles:" data-shortname=":chuckles:" /></blockquote>
