I have been through too many fluorescent bulbs in my Craftsman 19.2V (315.114073) flashlight. The most recent failure came in an attic when I was being attacked by hornets this summer, so I'm sure you can understand my frustration with it's fragility.
The light uses a 2G7 base fluorescent bulb. I had an idea to try and change it to an LED, and found a similar base LED that worked when I replaced it, however it flashed constantly before the bulb quit altogether. I am wondering how to remove (or even recognize) the ballast circuit in this light to get it to work.
The LED bulb is a 6W 85-265V bulb. As I said, it lit and seemed to be the correct brightness, but only flashed like a strobe light.
