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.

bicycle lights have profited so massively of the technological and manufacturing advancement here it's insane. I got a 20€ front dynamo powered light whose exact model and manufacturer name changes about every 6 months or so and the 75 lumen make it entirely reasonable to go high bicycle speeds in pitch black enviroments
