I have been trying to get Carley to do up a batch of xenon lamps for the two cell AA and two cell AAA MagLights for months. Their special run arrived the other day, and don't fit. It may be a lost cause.
You can get the Brinkmann ones for two AA cells.
Silicon grease with Teflon is available from pool and spa supply places.
Hope this helps, Walt

I got my Silicone Grease at a scuba equipment store. I posted about this somewhere before with more accurate infomation--had the little cannister or plastic jar, in hand. I recall around $10. So far about $1 per year, and next year the cost will be less per year
Hi Dougy1, sorry about getting you hooked. You can find the Brinkman Nextstars at
http://www.thebrinkmanncorp.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=8&Product_ID=311&CATID=2
I ordered mine right off that page. They will run through batteries about 1.5 times faster, but you get more light. I would also suggest lithium AA's if you can get them.
