This may be a crazy question, but having next to zero knowledge on this subject Im going to go ahead and ask it.
I have an integral laser sight on my compact pistol. It is factory and fits with the design of the gun. I personally do not like laser sights because of various reasons, but thats a different subject. My question is, can you replace the laser diode with a bright LED diode so that instead of a laser sight it is a small integrated flashlight? This to me would be so much more useful, and if it were to work I would still have same good looking integral piece that it was designed to be, i would just be changing its functionality. Any answer would be greatly appreciated.
