Hey, I'm hoping I can solicit some input on where I might find a very CHEAP, Red LED that runs on 1 AAA cell, or button cells. It should be cylindrical in shape, and tiny. 1 AA could work, but it would have to have a thin body. The Arc/Peak AAAs are too expensive, and the Gerber Infinity is to thick. I intend to strap this baby on to my Fenix P3D while hiking trails (and take it off when I'm not). I need the beam to match the Fenix well, as I want the Red LED to fill out that end of the Fenix's spectrum, so that means plenty of spill and a large or diffuse hotspot. I do not need or want it to be bright, just 3 to 8 lumens should be plenty. Any ideas?
[Edit] How about the COAST LED Lenser in Red LED? It looks like the beam is lensed to output a defined and narrow circle, but I bet if I acid etched the lens it would turn into a very diffuse beam. Any experience with this light?
