Well, I mean they’ve been kinda obsolete for atleast three decades.

Here in the US we had these things! And you could get these things at dollar stores.

But I’ve been reflecting on these things after finding we still had one of these lights in the house. I couldn’t recall actually seeing one of these in the store. Sure enough when I went to go look in the store, couldn’t find any!

It’s a little sad I guess, something I grew up with is now essentially gone.

But tbf these things only got used in these specific flashlights and deer hunting equipment.
