  • Bill keeps his American made flashlight with an LED Upgrade that converts the old C & D (2-6 cell PR style flange) incandescent flashlights into bright, long lasting (100,000 hour) LED flashlights. J.C. Penney 2 Cell Ribbed Chrome Light with Slide and Flash Button Switch and Ring Hanger made in America circa 1970.

    I have that same freaking flashlight! No way lol that things been in my family for years too! Found it in my dad's old shop. Deep down in a old Craftsman rolling tool box. Awesome find! I'm going to do the same conversion. Thanks for the video!

      Be warned people see it and then want to buy it from from you, but don't sell it keep it and pass it on a few hundred years.

      Just as easily as putting a new incan bulb. That's by design with drop-ins like these.

    I have a Resto Flashlight, looks identical to your Pennys. Uses 4 D cells, so its two batteries longer, what led would I get? 4ds are 6 volts (?) I'd like to convert it to an led.

    Terralux makes good stuff. The bulbs are great as a drop in, and actually their flashlights are really nice. You should try out the terralux lightstar 300. I really like that big beam 164. They are really awesome. I wonder why we don't really see or hear much about big beam these days.

      The communist Chinese suppress any positive review of American made goods, and push Chinese made goods to the forefront.

    Perhaps a 3.5 volt rechargeable like battery and USB-C battery power charger options help this way.

    Did you keep the original bulb since its still good after 50 years.

      Yes, much like Excalibur it will one day shine on better times, but for now it serves as a small reminder that those times did exist.

    Does the multiple position switch still work with the led conversion? I don’t see why it wouldn’t just curious.

      It's just a momentary switch, LED bulbs switch on about as fast as incandescents, so yeah, it will work fast enough for morse code.
