Yes, but not cheap yet. Best to buy a whole new torch.  ;)

I've got a handy little one that recharges in the car (lighter socket).

I brought mine about 4 years ago from Maplin Electronics, they came with 2 in a pack.
This is for a AA torch so probably only for 1.5v torch, but a closer look might reveal the ones you want:

They replaced/fitted the Tower with those LEDs that have lots of colour changing abilities last year.
  It looks really pretty now:)
I notice in the vid it says they have massive power savings costing a tiny fraction of the older type bulbs.   Wonder if this is the reason the Tower is still lit up each night - normally they are switched off when the illuminations finish.
