Last week I changed the 5mm LED on the better reflectored version of the Dorcy 1AAA to the Nichia "u" emitter. Brighter and whiter. I liked it. Then I thought hmmm, I wonder what the beam would look like if this driver board/ Nichia setup were transplanted into the newer "fisheye optic" versions. So I went to Walmart and picked up the newer style. As soon as we got in the car (wife was driving) I swapped them out. YEAH! Very nice! Blows the old setup away! If you have one you gotta try it. Just don't screw down the head too tight or the optic will pop out. Unless you use the old style bodies with the notches on the sides since the new style doesn't have them. Whaddya think?
