I did.  WOW! 

Anyone on this list with the minimag flashlight HAS to try this. The output 
with two new alkaline batteries practically blinds you compared to the output 
of the regular bulb,  and about doubles the usefulness of the flashlight.  I 
love it and will buy the bulbs and batteries as needed. 

THANKS very much for the tip John.
