Princeton Tec Blast

I bought one these at Saltwater Edge when they were still on Thames St.After all these years the xenon bulb finally died.They've been discontinued for quite some time now and I've had zero luck trying to find a replacement bulb or even the whole flashlight itself.

The closest thing I could find was the Pelican L1 1930 except for one major issue,the open end of the clip faces to the front.Not much use when you want to clip it to your hat.

I know everyone is going to suggest a headlamp but I'm much more comfortable with my light on a lanyard around my neck and when I need both hands I just clip it to the bill of my hat.

If anyone knows where I can dig up a replacement bulb or the whole unit itself I'd very much appreciate it.

Your best bet is to call Princeton Tec, their customer service is amazing.

Their headlamps suck, and never make it a full season, but they always replace em

I've had way better luck with that style light you posted from them

Did this and am going to get an Amp 1L for nothing.Not even close to being a suitable replacement,but this is the closest thing they can offer.Good enough under the circumstances.
