The cylindrical HF lights looked to be ideal candidates to retrofit

(there's probably another Li cell that WOULD fit but the 18670's are
just so
damn common and relatively easy to "rescue")


The HF lights are unregulated. with AAA cells,
there is a limit how much current the cells
can deliver. Lithium may over current, and
blow the bulbs.


You have no concept of Ohm's Law...possibly *you* should be on Lithium?



Stormy's not as smart has he likes to let on some times - Like we
often say in business - just smart enough to be dangerous

We flashlight mod people are not alone... there are others who have
gone before us....
