Default Does anyone know a good LED pocket flashlight with decent brightness

I don't know of any such. The closest I can find, is a Mini Mag 2 AA light,
with the Nite Ize conversion. Might not be good for house numbers, but you
can always keep a 3D or 4D Mag Light in the car with you.

My mini mag, I got the Opalec conversion when they first came out. 3 LED,
and not very bright. Later got the Teralux conversion. Turns out the new
Nite Ize ($4.97 Walmart) is about as bright as my $30 Teralux. I think the
run time is six hours, on alkaline AA cells.

I got the $5 WallyMart conversion as well...damn bright, considering
that similar conversions are selling for upwards of $20. I'd like to
get a Luxeon for it, but I think I'll buy the led and build my own.
