The other day I was looking at an LED hand-held Light. Anyone know how well do they work and whats the range like? "Everyone Bleeds" |
| you mean a flash light? Multiple leds work ok. We have one that is a dive light mostly. It takes like 4 AA's and is as bright as a mini mag that hold 2 AA's, but it will last many more hours than a standard flash light. Also they don't tend to burn out. It seems to take about 5 led's to make up for the 1 mag light bulb. |

See here: www.luxeonstar.com/index.php I homemade some LED flashlights with Ebay LEDs. Work great for worklights and short range. For long range you need either a prefocused LED or a focusing lenscap. Fritz |
