Flashlight bulbs (E what?)

THe bulb which Radio Shack sells as "standard flashlight bulb"

I realised too late it is not E5

Is it E7? I want LED versions

I want one for my bike generator but I have many flashlights

There is no such thing as a 'Standard Flashlight Bulb'. Flashlight
bulbs are typically rated based on the number of cells (batteries) in
the flashlight, two, three, four, five, for example.

Ok, but my question is what is the socket. Radio Shack sell sthis bulb
(which was for my bike)
as incandescent as "standard flashlight bulb". I appreciate the
scemantics, but what is the socket for this bulb here:

Thanks

Not sure what is your question; but if you click the 'features' tab (not

the 'tech specs' tab) on the page above, you get the voltage and the
description of the base as 'threaded'. IME, that threaded base fits a
threaded socket which is universal for flashlights...that are threaded.
One size fits all, regardless of voltage (2.4 in this case) or other
parameters.

Interestingly enough, the 'features' tab also lists an average life of
just five hours. A new bulb at each battery change....?
