If you have recently purchased light bulbs for your light, it is probably because you have bought the wrong voltage bulb. There are several different types of MagLites and each one must match the voltage of the batteries to the voltage of the bulb.

For example: If you bought a 3v bulb (2-cell) and put it in a 4-C Maglite, you'll blow the bulb

(4 batteries x 1.5v = 6v total)

There are two types of brand-name bulbs for incandescent (non-LED) Maglites. The original OEM bulb was a Krypton bulb and the newer, brighter bulbs are Xenon. They are available for all two through six cell C and D size Maglite flashlights.

Krypton bulbs

LWSA201 - 2-Cell Krypton

LWSA301 - 3-Cell Krypton

LWSA401 - 4-Cell Krypton

LWSA501 - 5-Cell Krypton

LWSA601 - 6-Cell Krypton

Xenon bulbs

LMSA201 - 2-Cell Xenon

LMSA301 - 3-Cell Xenon

LMSA401 - 4-Cell Xenon

LMSA501 - 5-Cell Xenon

LMSA601 - 6-Cell Xenon

Why does a light bulb shine light in more directions than a flashlight?

A light bulb and a flashlight are the same basically. However if you`ve ever looked at the front of a flashlight ( dont do this when its on) you will see that the front is mirrored. So a does actually shine light in all directions but the mirrors reflect the light so as to send it forward where as the light from a light bulb is unobstructed.


If you hold a flashlight at the speed of light can you still see it?

Need clarification please. The "it" you are referring to seeing, does that represent; A) the flashlight, B) the light from the flashlight, or C) "the speed of light"? Did you mean to imply that the flashlight was switched on? Is it an "old fashioned" bulb, an LED bulb, a laser light, or some other energy? Just wondering.
