Found this on Lifehacker.com:
Mod a $5 flashlight into a $95 flashlight.

Found here on http://lifehacker.com/software/top/mod-a-5-flashlight-into-a-95-light-261114.php

Not sure how good this is or accurate -- I leave it to the mod experts to chime in.

haha i laughed a little. those flashlights last about 2 weeks, then you put them in a drawer for 12 years, find the batteries dead, then you throw it away.

If you want a quick and dirty bright light what you can throw away when you want to, this makes a nice little project.

However if you counts $ per hour Surefire still wins IMHO.

I calculated a similar thing with my MiniM@g and E1W
The surefire won by FAR when it comes to bulbcost per h.

Considering that you can empty the AAs in another flashlight they are cheaper but not by a large margin.
