Strange light blub issue with my minimag..
I bought a minimag recently and it had 2 blub included. The first one burn out within 30 mins. The second one just burn out within an hour.
I used the battery (Energizer) included witht he flashlight. The light blub had black burn mark on the tip of the blub.
My question is why is this happening to a good brand flashlight? And where can I buy more blubs of that kind?

At less than $10 my guess would be that its a cheap knock-off.

Did you over clock this flashlight?
Ya know, where you cram three batteries into a two battery slot?
Why not RMA it?

Just take it back to Target, and tell them the the bulbs keep buring out, and you want to exchange it.

Ask them for a proper Mag one this time. If they want to charge you more, ask if you can use one of their telephones to call Mag to let them know that Target is knowingly selling fakes

Its because this site is view by all people. Especially religion.
Its a language thing.
As for the flash light, are you talking about those minimags that take 2 AAA (the mags the size of a thick Sharpie) or the mag that takes 2 AA?
