I modded my ADVANCE AUTO 2 C LED with a SSC T BIN from DX which can be found here. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1342
Very easy to do. Desolder the old Led star and solder in the new one. Very Bright. I just finished the third hour of the run time test with only a slight drop in brightness. Im using two duracell coppertops. I ran the light for 45 min on then 30 off. 45 on and another 30 off. After 1.5 hours of runtime the batteries had dropped to 1.49 volts. I did 3 more 30 min runs with 15 min off in between the runs. After a total of 3 hours of run time the batteries are at 1.43 volts. Will continue the test in 30 min runs until the light dies. Ill post the results.
EDIT - 3.5 hours of run time, Batteries read 1.38 volts, Still plenty bright.
EDIT - 4.0 hours of run time, Batteries read 1.33 volts, Still plenty bright.
EDIT - 4.5 hours of run time, Batteries read 1.25 volts, Running at approx. 60%
EDIT - 5.0 hours of run time, Batteries read 1.20 volts, Running at approx. 45%
EDIT - 5.5 hours of run time, one battery reads 1.25 volts, the other reads 0.88 volts. Light was running at about 25% brightness. I ended the test here.
Not bad at all. A light with 5 hours of runtime. Almost 4 hours at full brightness.
