Just wanted to share this with you guys. I installed 3 super white 5mm LEDs in this Maglite Solitair along with a 12v battery.

It is blindingly bright, alot brighter that my Mini Mag single LED.

Very nice White LED, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif but could you please downsize the pic a bit so there is no need for scrolling?

TIA,

Sure did. The only thing I had to do to the LEDs was to grind the small lip edge from around the bottom of each. The LEDs are soldered together in series in a triangle shape. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This looks like a nice kit for those of us that are electronically challenged,I just wish someone would make a clicky tailswitch for the Solitaire.

I don't have a run time as of today I will test it and see how it goes. Also, I will get a beam shot for everyone. I can tell you, it is not perfectly round, but with all the light coming out of it, it really does not matter. More light than you could ever want out of something so small.
