Happy New Year everyone!
I have a small interest in flashlights, namely LED flashlights. I'm not a collector or anything, but thought it would be cool to join here and chat a bit, plus do some research which will probably cause me to blow some money later down the road on another flashlight that I probably don't need. LOL :laughing:
Anyway, I have 4 LED flahslights so far:
1) An eBay cheapie, 21 LED's and 3 AAA's
2) An old, beat up Police issue 5 D-cell MagLite converted to LED and 3 D-cells
3) A Victorinox 5.8W LED and 2 C-cells
4) A well built no-name with 8 LEDs, 1 laser and 3 AAA's
When I converted the MagLite to LED, it was probably close to 2 years ago, and I can not remember who or where I bought the LED, its power rating or how much it cost. All I remember is that I bought it online. For some reason, I keeping thinking that it was a 3 watt LED, but not sure. It's every bit as bright as the Victorinox. Does anyone here have an idea of what this LED might be?
Here's a few pics of my small, lame collection. Also included are a couple close-ups of the MagLite LED. And yes, the eBay flashlight has a few dead LEDs, but I think they are just out because the original batteries are just about dead. I'm pretty sure the LEDs are still fine.
