hi, i am new to cpf, and have really started to take a liking to flashlights, and the leds have peeked my interest...
i got a dorcy metal gear from walmart and actually think its great, i dont like the battery system but its pretty bright and seems reliable..,..at least to me it seems bright.....
i want to get a fenix l1p to carry around on the job, but i cant really make heads or tails out of how it compairs in brightness with the metal gear which i know how bright it is......if the l1p has the output of the metal gear i will be amazed with it. or if it is even close to the output of it.
do any of you have a direct comparison between those two, it would be great to have that output in a small pocket light..........
now on to the metal gear, i have taken it apart and it has a small resistor on a board that i would assume limits the voltage to the led, has anybody removed the resistor to make it brighter, overdriving the led on it, it seems to be a quality led it has a very white output...........
what batteries could i mebbe fit inside the dorcy to make the runtime longer and brighter?
i know i have a lot of ? and hope you all will be patient with me in my learning and thanks again for the help
