Headlight

Thanks! It’s an odd ball: it’s a par36, 6” lamp I believe. I’ve looked online, but the only options I’m finding are $150, which I’m not a fan of! Lol

Ouch to much. Get the lens and dollarstore

Of course those things are evacuated but you can still drill into them from the back if you wanna try and convert it. You need to wet drill it with a diamond or carbide, and then enlarge the hole slowly with grinding stones.

It’s fast to break the back off with a little pick hammer but then you don’t have a Reflector

Just saw a video on YouTube: looks like the glass cutting on a rounded surface is pretty easy with a dremel and a diamond tip cutter: I’ll hit the doll store for the LED parts then try to cut the lamp and adapt the parts

I use this kind. Really easy to work with

Target was selling those years ago and they turned out to have a very high failure rate. I bought some just for the fancy aluminum housings, to use for other projects. I built one into the tailstock riser for my .308 bench rifle.

I like those self recharging solar yard lamps from At Home, but they’re not that bright. Even with four of them ganged together in a headlight, I wished I had used six. They do run a long time on a charge though.

Eow! $13.50 for a sealed beam bulb now.
I remember the first one I bought was
99 cents, and that was a gas station, in the sticks. I think you could get one at Western Auto for $.59
