Dorcy 4AA \"Solid State\"
Several searches only led to Dorcy's 1AAA LED's.
Today I bought, for $3.89, ($14 "list") a single LED, plastic bodied, "large" reflectored Dorcy. They claim 200 hours of R/T and I suspect a long R/T is possible because this light puts out about as much as an Ultra G or similar. However, most of it is in a spot rather than an even flood. The body is a bit fat, as though a D cell may be inside. The LED is potted in a PR base and the tip of the LED appears translucent instead of clear. Perhaps this scatters the light sideways into the reflector a la Lambertian. The reflector does work and focuses the dim light into a spot.
I don't recall reading about this light and bought it, STRICTLY, for the advancement of illumination knowledge. It's dim for its size but not for the price. Anyone else have this yellow with black rubber bodied light?
