5.0 out of 5 stars The ever-hard-to-find 12v flashlight bulb
12v flashlight bulbs are not exactly easy to find. Home Depot? nope. Lowe's? nope. True Value? nope. These are all places that sell the flashlight, but not the bulbs, strange but true.
Even when shopping online they turn up in places you would not normally look, ie: amazon.com. Hey kids, they aren't just for books anymore...by the way the actual item I was...

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Buyer beware. I recieved plain DeWalt 12v flashlight bulbs which are not as good as the Porter Cable Xenon bulbs (I have used both brands and the DeWalt is not as good) for the same price. Shipping and handling was also 5.99, the USPS envelope had a .76 stamp on it, seems like a lot extra just to stick something in an envelope.

Even when shopping online they turn up in places you would not normally look, ie: amazon.com. Hey kids, they aren't just for books anymore...by the way the actual item I was looking for was DeWalt 12v flashlight bulbs, however my theory that the Porter-Cable bulbs would work in my DeWalt turned out to be true, for all I know it's the same manufacturer for both.

thanx Amazon.com!

Great flashlight. I use it all the time. My kids also love it and have broken the bulb once. So did my brother-in-law. One fall is all it takes. This is the only bad thing about the flash light. Oh yeh, these bulbs are impossible to find locally, so do like I did and order a bundle...

4.0 out of 5 stars super bright, December 26, 2000
This review is from: Porter Cable 8412 12-Volt Xenon Replacement Light Bulb, 2 Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)
These are extremely bright bulbs. I have no idea how long of a life they have though because they don't survive a fall when hot in the model 869 flashlight. Aimed at the celing from floor this bulb provides enough light to see clearly what you are doing in a 10' X 10' room with no problem.
