The old Garrity has no waterproofing, of any kind on the threads (no o-rings, no nothing). You can use it in its shortened version, with one CR123 or 16340 battery, or use the extender (which is how I usually use it), and use a single 18650 battery in it (as long as the drop-in supports the voltage). This light weighed in at about 4 ounces, with the 16340 battery, installed.

On the right - a shortened version of one of my Solarforce L2M hosts, with a few upgrades (L2T head with B6 stainless bezel, recessed tail cap switch, with an International Outdoors XP-L U5 7A3 3-mode drop-in, running on a single 16340 battery.

The light weighed in at 20 ounces, with 2 D batteries, installed. Believe it or not, that Maglite bulb was way better than the stock bulb that had been installed in the Garrity, which died. It had never been used, until I installed in this old Garrity).

On the left - an old Garrity plastic flashlight, with a rubberized grip, running on two alkaline D cells, 'upgraded' (lol) with an incandescent bulb I stole out of the tailcap (it was the backup bulb) of my old 2D Maglite.

You just have to choose the right one for the application, and you're home free Want something warm, in between? It's out there. 2) I wanted to show that it is entirely possible to get a huge range of tints (from super warm, to super cool) out of your P60 light, depending on which LED you choose. They just will not part with them, mainly for this reason. A few years ago, that may have been true, but no more. 1) Some people can't stand cool white color temperatures that most LED flashlights produce, and they swear by their old incandescent lights, believing that they have no choice, other than their old tried-and-true incandescent or some funky blueish, greenish, or purpleish LED lights.

THE LED has many of the advantages of the incandescent, with almost none of the weaknesses. Note that, in this instance I've chosen to use an extremely warm-tinted drop-in, to closely approximate the color temperature of an incandescent bulb. Now that I'm in comparative nostalgic mode, I thought I'd start a thread comparing one example of a flashlight using yesterday's technology, with one today's.
