I find this little gem pretty useless due to the low output. Any mods to brighten her up? This is the 2AA model w/single led. Thanks.
Any mods for Brinkmann Rebel 2AA?

I personnally have not looked at this light. If it is the same circuit as reported in other 2AA Brinkmann LED lights, circuit shown in link below:

then you can find some ideas on how this circuit can be modified in the following thread:

Reducing the value of the resistor labeled R1 in either of the above links will increase the drive current. Your other option, as always, is to replace the LED with one that is newer and hopefully more efficient than the original.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I've long since lost mine, but back in 2003, I replaced the LED in the Brinkmann with one out of a photon clone that was particularly bright (for the time) and it was quite a bit brighter. These days, I'd guess a Nichia CS would be the quickest/easiest mod that would increase the brightness a bit.

Thanks, another great idea.
