Default Flashlight temptation

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.

Years ago, Dorcy came out with some LED lights
that used one AAA cell. Aparently, someone smarter
than myself made a voltage multiplier circuit, and
made it small enough to go into small flash lights.

Might have been Infinity Light, used one AA cell.
Not really super bright, but beats being in the dark.

My question with with the 1D light from Dolgen, is it
bright enough to be useful?

I may end up buying one to find out.
