Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 It's from a Black Diamond head lamp which is pushing twenty years old. But, I'm loathe to throw it out because the fukking bulb's gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,835 Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Looked and can't find any one selling them over here .. it looks like they might be a black diamond only bulb.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,835 Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/torch-bulbs/0174151/ Though you might find a bulb off another torch headlamp that will fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Okay, lads. Thanks. I checked that guys shop, Sid. Nothing even remotely like it, sadly. Chid; Guess who just reached for his own Mini Maglite? Bulb looks the same. Only, this one's about the size of a grain of rice! No, I think the ozzie place is my best bet. That blue carded 'Long Life' looks pretty much like mine, doesn't it? And, that's what I'd need. I don't need a beam to dazzle airliner pilots. Just see what's at arms length. I'll try to find any identifying marks on my lamp. Email those fukkers and see what they say. Nice work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Ahh! Consider that email about to be sent then, Sid! Cheers! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Fukk. His mailer's log jammed Never mind. It's nothing life threatening, at this end. And, if I can swerve paying a shit ton for a dinky little bulb? I'd rather. Let's face it; I could buy a whole lamp for the money we're looking at. But, you know me!

Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Let him have his bit of down time, Sid I've got a perfectly adequate little Clulite torch here. Lives in my pocket. I've used it every night this season. Just that I have a shed load of batteries to hand now, and I spotted the head light / hands free hanging there, encrusted in years of dust ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 4,630 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 LED lamps (bulbs...but I was taught that bulbs are something that you plant in the garden) are made in most fittings now. Take the head light to an electrical wholesaler and they may have something that fits. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would make Alverics journey through Elfland seem like a stroll in the park! Actually, I've emailed BlackDiamond. Much as I can do, really. If they don't do them any more - or just don't reply? I'll grab what ever I see. Or, if I dig deeper and find BlackDiamond stuff is made in China? I'll take a lump hammer to the fukking thing and have done with! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shame I hate throwing anything away but there are times when you must face the facts and just try and remember the good times that you had together and move on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
