2 Watt might be brighter..................but may get a shortened life. 2 "D" Cells , right ? Try a 3 Volt one . That matches the voltage from the batteries. Bulbs , darn them. I have such a mix going , I don't know what's what anymore. They still have a good selection at our local Ace Hardware stores here in Wa. . Try a few different ones........................you probably WILL see a difference. I'm betting you didn't get the key to that lock ...............huh ?
