I just threw out my old maglights and bought a LED light at Walmart and it’s been running on the same batteries for more than 10 years.
And a couple of years ago I found a bin full of LED flashlights at Walmart for $.99 each and I now have them all over the house.
Sorry I can’t help.

Yeah, you can pick up a new technology led flashlight for less than 10 bucks, that are way smaller, and lighter.

Do you have  specialty battery , auto, store; the one up here, Batteries Plus, carries light bulbs for most flashlights.
After near ten years, finally took an old plastic C cell flashlight in and asked if they had a new bulb for it, they did and now it works.
Did not need it but I like to keep old tools around.

I had to remove the ring at end, the the reflector and unscrew a retainer that held in the bulb then reverse procedure to put it back together. Quick and simple.

Xenon Vs. LED Flashlights
By DON PATTON
...
Flashlight
Flashlights today are brighter and more efficient than those of the past thanks to the introduction of new technologies in bulbs. Lower energy demand also means the use of less battery power which translates into smaller and lighter-weight flashlights. Making this possible is the replacement of traditional tungsten incandescent bulbs with a number of other choices, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and xenon lamps.

VIDEO OF THE DAY
Bulbs
Traditional flashlights used incandescent bulbs with a tungsten filament that glowed in a gas-filled glass enclosure. In a xenon bulb, the gas itself glows rather than a metal filament. The light emission from a xenon bulb is brighter than for any other type of lamp, and it uses less energy than most. Because there is no degradation of a heated filament, xenon bulbs also have a long life.

LEDs
LEDs are solid-state semiconductor devices that emit light when electric current is passed through them. Like xenon lamps, their emissions are more concentrated in the visible range, with less wasted energy going into heat and other radiation. The light output from a single LED is quite low, so flashlights typically use bulb assemblies that incorporate several diodes.

The performance of LEDs also is far superior to that of traditional bulbs. LEDs are brighter and use less energy, so battery life and bulb life are much better than that provided with standard bulbs or other alternative lamps. Their solid-state construction also makes them more durable.

Light Characteristics
A major advantage of the newer flashlights is in the color of their light. Xenon bulbs produce a white light that matches that of daylight more closely than other lamps. The human eye is adapted to see this light much better, so less illumination is needed for good visibility. With LEDs, the light is brighter than that of traditional bulbs, though not as well-matched to the eyes as xenon lamps.

Cost
The highest-quality LED and xenon flashlights are somewhat more expensive than their incandescent predecessors, with some costing as much as $50. Cheaper, mass-produced versions of small LED flashlights commonly are available for as low as $5.

Xenon or LED?
Xenon and LED bulb technologies provide an improvement over traditional flashlights. Of the two, LEDs are more durable and reliable and will last longer. The life expectancy of LED lamps is 100,000 hours of operation. Xenon lights shine the brightest and provide the most efficient use of battery power. Xenon bulbs last up to 20,000 hours on average.

Don Patton began writing after retiring from an engineering career in 2006. He holds a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley and continued with graduate study in software engineering.
