Honoson 10 Pieces E10 LED Bulbs 3 Volt Miniature Flashlight Bulbs E10 Replacement Bulbs Mini Lamps Cool White

Item is ok

I discovered an old penlight in my stash of junk. With a pair of AA batteries and an incandescent bulb it was pretty dim. Not quite useless but not something I'd reach for if I needed a light. In the last few years I've come to dislike incandescent bulbs for general illumination. LEDs are brighter, more energy efficient, and last a lot longer. As a result, even though this penlight is a useful size and seems tough as nails (it has an all steel body), it sat unused. One day I took it apart on a whim and, after some detective work, discovered that the bulb was an E10. This pack of 10 bulbs was the least expensive option for LED bulbs so I ponied up $8 and waited a couple of days. The bulb dropped right in and, with a freshly-charged pair of AA batteries, the light is WAY brighter than with an incandescent bulb. It's about as bright as any of the other AA/AAA penlights that I've seen. It's quite useful for small repairs and task lighting, and it fits unobtrusively in a pocket or tool bag. It isn't a flashlight but it can do a lot of flashlight stuff in a pinch-- I've used it to walk around in a dark backyard, for example. I bet there's a lot of these penlights sitting unused in junk drawers everywhere. Adding an LED bulb converts them from another piece of obsolete technology to a useful tool. Now I have to keep from buying every old garage-sale penlight I see. I DO have another 9 bulbs, after all...

Works well

A real value for the money. Only drawback is you have to reverse the polarity of the battery compartments on the units you use these LED bulbs with. They are real bright and i like that feature.

These replaced a some burned out incandescent bulbs in a couple of older flashlights. They fit perfectly and are much brighter than the old ones. LED's should also extend the battery life. Just wish they came in a smaller pack. I'll be long gone before I can use all 10 of these.
