Hello,

I have a LED torch that i want to modify the isnides to move the bulbs and the colours.

So what i have is the internals of the torch it has 24 5mm LED bulbs on it, there is 1 resistor with the colouring Brown/Red/Gold/Gold and it runs off 3 x 1.5v AA batteries.

What i want to try and figure out is what voltage the bulbs will be and can i replace them with bulbs i have purchased , they are 3mm coloured bulbs ranging from 2.1 to 2.6v rating.

If i can do this will i need to change the resistor
