evening group,
i have one of the above and i have taken it apart and found there is a small circuit board and a red and a black wire going to the led, the question is how easy is it to replace this standard led with an infra red one? its a 4.5v torch powered by 3 aaa batteries.

i have seen various i/r leds on ebay but im wondering wether i am wasting my time.
any comments or suggestions will be welcome.
tnx simon

Hello and welcome to CPF. I have some similar 3aa lidl cree lights. I think it's just a resistor in there. Switching LED would not work as IR leds use much lower voltage.
