If anyone would like to part with their old non-working light for a reasonable price, I'd be interested. (Yes, I agree with @NAVEED, you should be able to find a replacement pack that is at least close. Try ebay or look online.)

I had a couple of these well before spending 1968 in SEA. Can't remember where I got the first, maybe Pakistan or Panama. Used them at Sewart, Hurlburt, Utapao, and Wright-Patt. As Chief of Safety at Wright-Patt in late 60s or early 70s, a Safety Alert from USAF Safety Center, then at Norton AFB, came out warning of incidents of the things bursting into flames while plugged in and charging. Mine didn't work anymore so pitched them. They were a lot better than carrying a 2 C-cell flashlight in the cockpit.

I had several of these while stationed in Guam 1967 thru Apr 1969. Left them on charge all the time (ala "night lite") which was a mistake as the battery would not lite the bulb for long after a long time in the outlet. Don't remember using these when I was in Spectre in 1972.

I have one, though the model is NL-5100. It was dead, but I took it apart and brought it to Batteries Plus. They replaced the rechargeable cells, but couldn't put it back together. Took me all of 5 minutes to do so. Pretty sure it's even brighter than before. SO glad to have it back and working! Sure wish I could buy a few new ones.

I had a bunch of these things from my days at Kadena in the early 70s. Got them for 5 bucks a piece or less and gave them out as Christmas presents/stocking stuffers. Because we got them at Kadena, they were euphemistically called "Habu lights." If anyone knows where to get them these days, please let me know!

Hey Larry, Thanks for the tip. I must have an odd one. No screw under the rubber tool either though I can see a resistor through that hole. No way in under the flip-around charging plug either. I got mine for USN deck watches back in the early 70's and just came across it again recently. Cleaned a little corrosion off the lamp sockets with club soda on a Q Tip. It does still charge and holds a charge for about a week but that charge doesn't keep the light on continuously for very long.

Hi John,
On my flashlight the little screw that holds the halves together is in the bottom of the hole where the rubber light bulb tool resides, opposite switch and near end where the AC plug is. I did see one light that had a removable piece on the end that had to be removed for charging.
|
|

|
|
|
John on Jan 31, 2010 - 7:57 PM

The current similar model is NL-222 but it charges from 220V and is not sold in the US.
Previous comments mention opening case with a screw on opposite side from the switch and at the bottom end near the rubber plug/tool and perhaps under a label. None of that seems to match my NL-421 (circa 1971). No gray label and no small screw. Might it be under the chrome tape?

Great Website!
These lights were a favorite of Merchant Marine deck officers standing watches on the bridges of commercial ships for many years. As a communications officer on these ships the dead ones were brought to me with the question "Sparks, can you fix this thing? I love this light and it has died." Well, they can usually be repaired by installing new rechargeable batteries. The batteries are NiCad 2/3 AA size. It is a delicate operation to install the batteries, but it can be done with care. I am still using one that was repaired using the more modern NiMH (Nickle Metal Hydride) batteries which have 2 to 3 times the capacity of the original cells. As long as the little transformer in the charging circuit is still OK they can be salvaged. I hope this helps those who are lucky enough to have one of these well designed lights. Happy New Year, Larry

So happy to find your blog. My late husband was a Naval raider and aircraft mechanic in the Korean conflict. He used his NL-421 on rescue missions and for many years after his military years when we'd go fishing together or when he'd go hunting with his buddies. I ran across it the other day when I was clearing out some of his things. It still sort of holds a charge and I'm going to use it (for sentimental reasons) but need to get new batteries and a replacement bulb for the red side. Your blog has been very helpful as I've been going nuts trying to figure out how to get the darn thing open without a manual! Thanks to all of you. And to all you gents and ladies that have been in the Armed Services... My utmost respect and God Bless You!

My wife recently found my old rechargable in a box of military stuff from before my retirement. It still carried a charge and I now have it plugged in at the night stand, just like all my military days. I got my first one in 1980 when I was a loadmaster on C-5's, and carried them for the next 24 years as I transitioned to C-141's and KC-10's as a flight engineer. This one still works great and thankfully I had the foresight to buy extra bulbs.

I used one as a C-130 Nav (many of the crewmembers bought one at the time)in Vietnam in the late '60's and early '70's. I remember buying one for my Dad and it may still be at my mom's home. I'll have to look for it. Mine died years ago, I suppose, as I have no idea where it went or what happened to it. It sure served it's purpose for me for years. Great little rechargeable light!

Would like to buy 3 of these from any source. As a merchant marine officer standing the bridge watch at night, this was the absolute best flashlight I've ever used. Mine is toast now and I have no idea where to procure a replacement that works. I should've bought a dozen of them back in 1981 when they were still around.

I have a couple of these lights that I bought at an estate sale for an airline pilot. (He apparently had tons of stuff he had bought during his travels, but I got to the sale too late to get the real treasures.) The light is still in the original cardboard box and includes the instruction booklet. I charged it up about a month ago, and it still lights up -- though rather dimly, today. Please email me if you are interested in purchasing this flashlight. (I'm not real greedy, but I am saving up to buy a new camera lens!)

I just rebuilt two Model 421 Cadnica Lite's that I bought near Yakota in 89. They sat dead for several years but your board convinced me to try and repair them. I found replacement batteries at Batteries Plus for $5.32 a pair for what they called a 2/3 AA battery. The metal straps connecting the batteries were tack welded in place but I was able to pry them off and reuse them with solder. I have charged the repaired units and they work fine.

Billy: Yes, I have 2 working flashlights like the one pictured above. One is brand new, MINT, unopened in it's original package. The other, I have used some, but not much since I can't find new ones online anywhere. It still looks and works like new and hasn't been recharged more than 4-6 times. I would say it's near-mint condition. The unopened one I'd sell for $200. (USD), and the used one, $150. (USD). Cash, check or money order. I will ship any way you want AFTER payment goes through. I'm not set up with paypal. Let me know if you are seriously interested only. PRICE IS FIRM.

For those wondering, these flashlights don't seem to be made to be taken apart. The main issue is the metal foil band around it. But you can remove the screw (possibly hidden by a small gray sticker) on the opposite side of the switch down by the rubber bulb remover and open it enough to get at the batteries. You WILL need a soldering iron and two rechargeable 'N' cell batteries. I'd advise finding/buying the batteries first before you mess with it so you can do it all in one sitting. I have a BRAND NEW one NEVER OPENED I would be WILLING TO SELL. But I want $200., so I'm guessing I'll be sitting on it for some time... Hey, to a flashlight geek like myself, it's a rare collectable.

I received my first one of these as a gift when I was a child - maybe 1970-ish. Loved it and used it non-stop till it would no longer charged. Then, in about 1994, I found it in a catalog and HAD to have it! I bought 2. One is still in the package in a fire box, and the other, while opened, has only been used/charged a few times, since I can't find more anywhere, and these hold enormous sentimental value. I'm kicking myself for only buying two!! If someone wants to make me an offer (hint: $120.00 US dollars minimum.), I would take the highest bid. It looks just like the one pictured here, and has been in a zip lock bag out of the sun. It works perfectly and is mint/near-mint. As for the one still packaged, I'd sell it for a minimum (insane) bid of $500.00. Sorry so high, but I KNOW I'd MISS it as soon as it was gone. I can send a pic of it to anyone SERIOUSLY interested. Money first, then I'll ship to anywhere in U.S. Specify if you are bidding for the packaged one or the slightly used one.

I had the lite pictured above for about 5 years before I lost it. I have two just like it, but the Model# is NL5100, and I bought them over 35 years ago through a Airline catalog. Best thing I ever did, they both still work great! Was looking to buy some more but can't find them any where. I spent 3 years in Southeast Asia on F-4 Phantoms, and I agree with Doug, they worked great in all situations.

As a retired airline pilot I can say this is the finest flashlight for night flying ever produced. If anyone has any that dosen't work I can fix them. They take a "N" sise Nicad or NiMh battery. I would also like to purchase any that are available dead or alive.

We deck officers in the Merchant Marine use these on the bridge of ships at night. I have several of them. Just replaced the bulbs (bought them at Ace hardware, # 222 2.2V/0.25A) These are still available in Japan last I was over there (this year) use a regular bulb in the red side, your work, in my case nautical charts, will be illuminated enough and the red sides will protect night vision. That is why they are so loved by pilots, deck officers, military, ect.

BOB: If it's just the batteries, you can get replacement ni-cads online if you do some searching. If you don't have the knowledge yourself, you can take it to one of those places that rebuild tool batteries. They should probably be able to help you. I am still looking for one of those and hate to think anyone would dispose of it for only the battery dying.

I have an old one that doesn't work any longer -- I found that, to take it apart, you must remove the silver label that says "Charge before initial use." There is a screw hidden under that label. It doesn't come apart easily, though; I broke some plastic getting mine open. The batteries aren't easy to replace; they're soldered in. I used mine for years as an airline pilot -- great flashlight! (RIP)

Stan,
I'm giving it a rough guess here, but if memory serves me correctly, I think the case splits below the chrome band. I think I remember getting that off (carefully) and then it splits......I think.....hope that helps.

It's been 20 years since I took one appart, but I do remember they do come appart - I think there are 2 AA ni-cads inside If I remember correctly. Replacements shouldn't be hard to come by.
Once again, I would love to find even a dead one!

OH, did find a reference to them being sold....in South America. I dont' speak Spanish, but here's the link.

Mr. Anthony DeVoti,
My mom had that flashlight 20 years ago and I have been looking for another one like it. (Sentimental reasons :) If Dave has not purchased it, and you are still interested in selling it, please let me know. It doesn't matter if it works or not.
Thanks.
Ted

Dave,
I have one of these lights that was purchased and never used. It is in the original box. I charged it recently to see if it still worked and it does. If you want to buy it let me know.

I bought several of these in the fall of 1999 in the Tokyo airport. They had them in both 220 and 110 volt. I wish I could find more.

While stationed at Altus AFB, OK , pilots /aircrew in-training had a nice habit of leaving these lights on the aircraft-C-141A &B's & C-5A's. Those of us who fixed these planes loved them. You could hold them in your teeth and work. My wife used one while working at the hospital at night so she wouldn't bother patient's

Standard item for gunners on AC-47, AC-119 and AC-130 gunships during Vietnam war. Reloading in blackout conditions made for a rough flight at times and the red lens on the Cadnica worked well for the job. Fit nice in the flightsuit as well
