I just purchased a very cheep flashlight, about the cheapest you can find, $5. It is a small no-brand light that has an XP-G LED. The output of the light is very impressive. I would say that it is about 200lm (that's just comparing it to one of my nice flashlights).
Just for fun I would like to try to swap out the XP-G for an XM-L.
I found an XM-L that looks like it could just be "dropped in," it has the same oporating voltage, and the current is higher than the XP-G so it wouldn't get burned out or anything.
Here is a link to the light that is in my flashlight: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3/XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3CT-ND/2242664
And here is a link to the light that I would like to get: http://www.digikey.com/product-deta...0LT40E4/XMLAWT-00-0000-000LT40E4CT-ND/2615395
(I do not think I am breaking the rules by posting those links, but if I am I will remove them)
Has anyone done this? --Thank you!
My $5 light!
