Fun, Dual Purpose LED Conversion

John:

Are you now selling 6LED PR bulbs?

Oh, so that`sthe Big Lots light I keep hearing about. I have one of those, but in a silver body and sold under the Johnlite brand.

Main beam is bright and medium-narrow, pretty poor shape, the bulb holder needs some fiddling with so it`ll sit more straight- then it`ll be fine. The low beam is horrendous. Just a thin circle of light, hardly any useful peripheral glow and a big black hole in the centre! Crying out for something to be done to it-John, looks like you have the answer! Nice work, sir.

I know we're all excited about the LS3, But if I want a light with the same power requirements as my EV Warrior electric bike, at least it shouldn't cost as much!

Here is an inexpensive, Dual Purpose light...I bought the 2,000,000 candlepower rechargeable from Big Lots (Formerly Pic N Sav) for $16. Then I put in a quick 6 LED array in place of the stock Argon, filament bulb. Not waterproof, but always cool enough to hang onto. And if the Halogen blows, the 6 LED will still work!

The Gel Cell is 6 volt, so a Luxeon would be another good candidate for the little light. I didn't want to "waste" one, so it just got 6 LEDs.

The handle folds up and the little light is "aimable". All in All, a very useful light.
