[Milsurplus] One more for the GRC-9

[Hubert Miller]

I was putting away things tonight including some LEDs when it occurred to me, I just
have to try this. The GRC-9 lamp is bayonet socket. You can buy an LED bulb in similar
size but screw base. If you take needle pliers and bend the top tab of the bayonet holder,
that tab just above the two nibs on the bayonet bulb, bend this tab ever so slightly in,
the LED bulb can force fit into the socket, even without using its threads. This lamp
delivers a warm white light, much better than the original feeble #49 bulb, and draws
80 mA.  This photo was done in darkness. Recommended for rear - area usage only.
