Subject: [CR] Old gen set lights and bulbs


One of my lights on the work bike is out and I don't know if I can find any of the older style bulbs around here any more. One LBS is left to check. Do I have to just break down and get a more modern set of generator lights? Is there a difference in the frosted bulb and the clear bulb and do they go with certain style lenses on the front for lumination?? Is there any LED replacements for older style systems? That would be a great solution. Are the old generators weak compared to more modern systems?
