Smallest keychain LED I\'ve ever seen - 1/3rd size
I was introduced to an unbelievably small keychain LED today - a tiny little marvel of engineering. This one is so small you could fit THREE of them into the size of a regular keychain LED. Just when I thought they couldn't get any smaller..?!
I managed to get one for myself (just one, no, sorry, I'm not sure if I can get any more but I will let you folks know if I can), took it home and took it apart. It's a 3 millmeter LED with one of the nicest beams I've ever seen, smooth, TY0L-ish HID blue, powered by two lithium 1220 cells. Half the capacity of regular cells, but this lil light sure is sweet. Slide switch included. I think it's REALLY cool and this is a keeper.
Heck it's the size of a PR bulb. If I could get any more of these, they would actually be great to stash inside larger flashlights with bulb holders (like the famous one with the spring, foam and bulb in the tailcap). It can be just like the refrigerator light that comes on when you open it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
