Whatever you do with that cheap searchlight, take a little experience
from me. DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN THE REFLECTOR. The silvered surface
wipes right off down to the bare metal, ruining it......real easy!

Just thought you'd like to know.

Hmmm! My Harbor Frieght search lights are all 6 volt.. So my previous post
may have been in error.

Is this OP Brinkmann actually 12 volts??

Anybody know the generic bulb number for the 12V halogen bulbs in
Brinkmann Q-Beam Max Million spotlights - they're probably all the
same in these kind of handheld lights - it looks like a big glass
peanut with 2 straight pins on the bottom.

Brinkmann wants $17 for a replacement - gotta be cheaper ways to do
this.

H3-100 is a standard auto 100W headlamp bulb. $4.97 for the GE model
at WalMart's car department. 80 ft away, in the flashlight section,
WalMart sells the Q-Beam version of the same EXACT bulb (without
calling it an H3-100) for $12.97.

What crap, eh?

I got an offbrand 12V searchlight with a huge reflector for $3 in a
thrift shop, my favorite stores...(c; The bulb was bad. The H3-100
will blister paint off a car....hee hee...

Don't think so? Put your hand in the beam!
