Default is there a way to increase the light of an LED with a dial?

much about the LED since I can't see any markings.
What would I need to buy from Radio Shack or an electronic store to do
this?


Google on LED driver. That should keep you occupied for some time. ;-)

If you wish to increase the brightness beyond that a constant current
driver can do you'll be into a pulse circuit.
