FR200
 
Is there an LED replacement bulb to replace the emergency light to make the
battery last longer?

You could probably make one with a lamp base, a resistor, and a couple
white LED's.

The upcoming FR300 has an LED light.

what is the bulb number in the fr200? If it is the 1157, a common bulb, the
bulb at aerostich has a LED replacement...

search for 2542 for led replacements for 1157 bulbs....15 Ma vs. 590 Ma for
regular bulbs

I saw this radio before. My guess is that it will replace the FR200.
Probably be sold under Grundig or Eton brand names.

Using standard LED diodes you will get some light, but
by using the ULTRA BRIGHT WHITE LEDs' high intensity
light emitting diodes,the replacement for the 1157 type
bulb will be extremely effective, and provide much
longer lasting light from whatever charge is left in
the nickel cadmium battery...
You will need, as explained , to design a mounting arrangement
for the ULTRA BRIGHT LED and fit it so that it will be located
at the focal point of the mirror reflector or as near to it
as possible in order to obtain maximum illumination efficiency
any comments or new ideas about the FR 200
