Ebay has AA to D adapters, if you want to use the
Dolgen light. Also, there used to be a single AA
light with joule thief, that was supposed to run
AA cells down near to nothing.

There isn't much left in a battery when the light is too dim to use
anyway, so thieving and extra 1% is pointless. Look at the discharge
graphs, the voltage plummets suddenly at the end.


It appeals to people who grew up in the
shadow of the Great Depression, such as
myself. 1) Don't throw away anything that
might be needed later. 2)Refer to rule
one.
