I have Victorinox keychain/multitool/gadget. (there a review here with pictures: http://new.the-gadgeteer.com/review/swissbit_swiss_memory_1gb_usb_victorinox_knife -- I'm not affiliated with that site)

That review is of the 1GB with a white LED. I have an older model with a red LED. Does anyone know of a way to upgrade the read LED to a brighter white LED? Specifications of the LED I would need, exactly how to replace the LED without damaging the knife's case, etc would be greatly appreciated. I've googled around but I get far too many sites that are just selling the actual knife/tool.

I was pondering that myself. I have a couple of Midnight Managers with 3mm red leds that I was thinking could stand to be a little brighter.

A white LED would probably require use of 3 thinner batteries in place of the 2 that are in it already.
