Flashlights aren’t what they used to be. Do you remember the big old ones of the 1950’s? They had an incandescent bulb and 2 D batteries. The bulbs would burn out once in a while, the batteries would leak and destroy the flashlight. Or you would drop it and break the glass lens.<\/p>\n

Then came the 6 volt lantern batteries and the accompanying lantern flashlights. They were very bright and would last a long time. But, same old incandescent bulb.<\/p>\n

Then in 1979 Anthony Maglica invented and manufactured <\/span><\/span>Maglites. This flashlight had a rugged aluminum barrel, and was well built. Still it had the same old incandescent bulb.<\/p>\n

Now, in 2021, Some engraved flashlights<\/a> use COB bulbs, which are even brighter than LED bulbs. And some circuits even make it possible to have different light levels, flashing, strobing, and SOS blinking.<\/p>\n

Flashlights have come a long way since the 1950’s. Let’s remember this on January 6, National Technology Day.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
