Yes had one, since it's rather small, lost it (!!) but bulb in it
last long time! I also had Maglite 2xAA model, these always been
bulb eaters. Since when I have my Garrity 2xAA w/ faceted
reflector, I have now through 5 sets of batteries and bulb still
original, before that garrity, I used to replace 1 or 2 bulbs every
SET of batteries on 2xAA maglite. Youch!

Cheers,

Wizard
