Yet another post on the River Rock.
I've opened up 4 different .5 watt River Rock's. (I was lucky to even find them in the Bay Area) I've never seen a decent smooth beam on any of them. Is this common? I know not to expect a lot, it's only a $10 penlight with a teenie reflector. One I kept has a small dark donut hole in it's blob like spot, and another has a yellow spot in the middle of the blue/white corona. It looks like an egg sunny side up when it's viewed on a white wall. Some of the others I looked at had a small blob of yellow in it as well. Is this part of the LED phosphor? Anyone else have this in their River Rock's? Yellow colors and blobs aside, it is a bright little Flashlight.
