Hi Jamie, just to let you know the LED's arrived today.
I've fitted one of them tonight and can see a marked improvement.
Going to run it and see how my soldering holds out and also see how much more drain there is compared to the OEM one, before fitting the second.

Thanks for sorting me out with 'em-
deffo a worthwhile upgrade IMO.

what's the battery life like with the uprated led?

 

[Carge]

I haven't run a set of batteries all the way down - but I will today.
I'll get back to you.

Light turned on with fully charged batteries at 09:40........

1 hour in - still bright and virtually no heat either

 

[Carge]

Pretty much done by 90minutes....

Will rerun with other torch and another set of batteries, currently on the charger.

For reference, I'm using Maplin 1000mAh rechargables.

 

[BobCatMax]

not too shabby then.

thanks very much for that Carge

Another set of batteries have been fully charged.

Second test started 19:00.......

Aren't rechargable batteries only 1.2v? So you would see an immediate increase just by using standard batteries as they are 1.5v
