Hi!
I just recieved an Ultrafire 602c 1xAAA flashlight from dealextreme (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.891). I'm very happy with it (small,bright,good quality) but i read somewhere that it's possible to replace the LED to make it even brighter. I unscrewed the top of the flashlight and it seems like the LED is directly soldered on to some kind of circuit board. I haven't used a soldering iron in years and have no previous experience of messing with electrical things like this, but I still think I would manage to replace the LED if I got a similar one with the same dimensions. Is it worth the time/money to replace the LED or should I get another flashlight with more power? Wich LED should I purchase? Is this one suitable http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2026 ? Can I expect a longer runtime with another LED?
Another question: Bin? What is that ("Cree P4 bin emitter" for example)?
Thanks,
Filip
