I was on Brinkman's website not long ago, and they still show the 3AA light as being available. I've been wondering why it hasn't been used as a platform for a conversion for either the LS, or 6 or 7 Nichias. While I've never been particularly fond of Brinkman's flashlights (except for the lamp in the Nexstar, which works so well in a Mini Maglite!) the 3AA would seem to make for a good conversion, for those of you who are good at doing that. At lest you are starting out with 4.5 volts. Just a thought...
