Question UK400 Light - LED Bulb?

[Beatle Bayly]

Just found my old (really old) Underwater Kinetics UK400 dive torch in our shipping container. It's still working but I thought there may be a direct LED replacement bulb/globe available these days to replace the original Xenon bulb?

I believe the original is a Xenon filled 5.8 Watt 6 volt bipin bulb. UK Part number 44806.

Anyone know of a direct replacement LED bulb?

I used to have one of those. I don’t think this can be a straight bulb replacement, more like an electronics project involving new/hacked guts. (Did that once long ago converting a old 4C light to a 3C UV LED light, after learning here of a partly drop in solution. But I did it more to get a cheap UV light at the time.)

Honestly the UK 400 is so bulky, and there’s so many small relatively inexpensive LED lights out there, to me it doesn’t seem worth it even if you can figure out the electronics, or find someone that is selling a replacement module. Also Ds are expensive and heavy if you travel. I used to replace them with AAs in holders but it makes that thing annoyingly floaty.

However, I wish I had saved mine - it would make a good drybox.
