Check out this thread. Lots of discussion on this light if you use "search" at the top of the page and type in Lightwave 4000.

Someone noted that the space age circuitry is 16ohm resistors? Is this true. If it is, I'm disapointed.
Well, if it is, they`re covered in white silicone gunk. I expect so though, there isn`t a lot else in there that looks high-tech. it`s well built though, some might say over-engineered- so many parts in there that don`t seem to do much. This is as far apart as I got mine....

The LED module (lower left) comprises of the PCB and a black plastic front piece- the bit you can see the LEDs poking through. Between these, white silicone sealent has been pumped stocking the two firmly together, and keeping moisture out too- so those space age resistors are not readilly viewable.
BTW I will post dissasembly instructions for those who want to take theirs apart, just not yet sorry, or else I`ll have to push the new Imaginitively Titled Torch Reviews Site`s launch date back another week, though it`s going that way anyway....
...Now the question is.....can I put it back together again?

Quickbeam,
Okay, thanks a lot for pointing me to that thread. I had not read it yet. Very interesting. Someone noted that the space age circuitry is 16ohm resistors? Is this true. If it is, I'm disapointed. Still, sounds like a nice light. I found a web site selling them for $45.50.

I have a Rayovac Industrial 3 'D' cell flashlight, in which I put 12 Nichia whites. (Eventually, I will put a dc/dc step up regulator in it.) This is an excellent quality flashlight, and now it is LED. It is supposed to withstand a 7ft drop test; quite durable. I didn't know anyone was making 'D' cell LED flashlights

I don't know - I'm afraid I don't have one to evaluate - anyone else out there know? Craig? Any ideas? I've always been curious about this "space age circuitry" too.
