Hello all, my GF found a light on her way home from work, its a cheap plastic light that used 2 AA's. No brand name and the light quality is crap, but them im comparing it to my only other non LED light a SF M2 lol. So i was thinking, she wants it to be brighter so i was thinking, 2 AA's are 3V so would it drive the SF E1 LA? the 15 lumen one? i could just buy it and drop it in, there is lots of space. Or my other option, the battery compartment is not tight at all, and i could grind it out some to accept some 123's, and then i could drop in a P60 or P61(have spares of both, would need to buy the E1 LA) So what would you guys do?

Prolly would have worked with a P60 though. But hell at $29 for a G2 you just cant go wrong can you?
