I retro-fitted an ultra bright LED into a right angle military D cell torch with a potentiometer to vary the brightness to suit the task. Now the torch will last weeks on one charge and the brightness can be turned down to increase the lifespan of the batteries considerably more. The right angle unit is easy to clip on to clothing while performing tasks or to stand it up to light a work area - which is not easy with a cylindrical torch lying on the floor. Also the torch still has its green & red lens filters and is waterproof 'milspec'. I have additionally converted a 'C' cell unit the same. The cost for bits is around £5 per unit. Just info to widen the consideration. Regards, TL.
