Hi there:

I'm from Singapore and I've been reading your forums for quite some time, it really inspires me with all the creations from you experts and other fellow newbies to modify flashlights on my own! However, it's really hard to get materials and electronic components (Hi power LEDs, clicky switches, drivers etc) over here and if they are available, the price is incomparable with USA in terms of price; it's MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE to get it shipped here. Needless to say, LED drop-ins are also VERY RARE here and will be costly (only available from maglight)...


After finally getting my hands on some rebel LEDs, I've decided to modify my own incandescent torchlight bulbs to be powered by Luxeon Rebels and make my first post on CPF (sorry about the lousy soldering and rough workmanship..)








Brightness comparison (on a normal 2D cell Eveready torch):







Thanks for viewing my post! C & C welcome!

Cheers from Sunny Singapore.
