I was in Dollar General. The flash light aisle
had a one D cell (I know, only one of those

LED, looks more like a square Cree emitter
than a bubble end LED. Comes with one carbon
zinc D cell. Size is about the same as the old
two D lights that were all over the place when
I was kid. Price $2.50. I'd love to buy one,
but money is tight. And it would just come home
and sit. I have enough lights to do what I need,
at present. When money loosens up a bit, maybe
I'll buy one "for testing".


I saw one of these somewhere, probably Dollar General and was
wondering how they powered the LED from a single 1.5 V battery.
I thought about getting one since I don't have one like it which is
good enough reason, but also to see how good it works if it works and
that kind of thing. Looks like some reviews on Amazon for one like it.
I found no tear downs for one on Youtube. Pure research here... we
gotta know these things. Inquiring minds want to know.
