Some years ago, before LEDs were a thing, I bought an Ultrafire WF-500 Flashlight that features a Xeon light bulb. As you might imagine the bulb reached its lifetime and burned away.

Now a replacement bulb is available here https://www.ebay.com/itm/321916301663 the thing is that it will cost me 35€ and for that price I could just buy a new LED flashlight.

Now I was considering trying to adapt a generic LED bulb like this one here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002419159094.html?mp=1.

Anyone else with this model of flashlight succeed at a similar mod? Any LED bulb recommendations? Or… is there any other source for the original bulb at a lower cost?

Thank you.

    Finally got a replacement head from them with a LED, works great, way less heat than before and most likely the light.
