OK. I bought this screwdriver with 2 small (incandescent) bulbs in the handle. It runs on two (2) 1.5 volt AAA batteries. You press the button in the base of the screwdriver and both little bulbs shine rather brightly.
Of course, here's what I want to do. Replace both of those bulbs with two (2) white LED's. SO, I have two extra LED's I bought from BG Micro (very bright). I remove one of the incandescants and put the LED on the end. IT'S VERY WEAK but works. Yes, I tried flipping the LED.
Question: Do I need some sort of "step up" circuit. Obviously I'm not feeding my LED's enough power to really shine.
Any thoughts on how to really bring this ordinary flashlight/screwdriver to life with LED's!!!
Thanks
