Hello, I am new here. I've had an interest in flashlights for a while now, and have become curious about the idea of modifying them or even building my own from scratch. I have an older 2D maglite that I would like to start with a fairly simple and affordable, but hopefully impressive, upgrade. I've read a little about the "Roar of the Pelican" and other ways of stepping up the battery voltage and using a higher powered bulb. This basic concept seems appealing to me, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on my first project.
I what I'm looking for is suggestions on some affordable (maybe less than $50 if possible) modifications I could do with only basic knowledge that would really make an impressive difference in the output of the flashlight. I'm totally new at all of this so If this is in the wrong place or I've violated any ethics or etiquette expectations please feel free to let me know.
