Flashlight no longer a heater


I fixed my landlords two lights the other day. The lights were a gift for her sons some Christmas long ago. What her sons soon found out was that the batteries lasted all of an hour even with four batteries.


The reason it was drained so fast was that it was a Halogen light, which was pumping out more energy in heat than light. So I had this idea, I couldn't see why and LED wouldn't work instead. I had some left over from the SpokePOV kit that I put together last year.


I one into the lights and voila! We have a more efficient light source. Granted the light is blue.
