high intensity LED

Hi, i recently saw a LED flashlight (mag lite) format with an extremely
high intensity light. Does anyone know where i can get one or how to make
one?

Thanks

 

Have a look around the "Maxim" web site. I saw a "White LED Driver"
circuit there quite recently !

 

Maglite format? Why so big? Useful as a club I suppose, but Maglite seem
to have stopped developing their products in the early '80s.

Surefire U2, a bargain at only $279.

I carry an Orb Raw NS. 77 lumens (about the same as a 3 D-cell Maglite
with fresh batteries) in something the size of your thumb, assuming you
have really short thumbs:

Plenty more to read about here:

Or, of course, you could just search:

There are LED retrofit bulbs that will fit in Mag lights.

One big link to reviews of many of these:

I have also seen these at Target. Some of these do have a high power
LED.

There is also a Dorcy 3-D-cell aluminum body light that uses a Luxeon
Star LED. There are also more compact LED flashlights that use these and
similar LEDs, and I always see a bit of a variety of them at Target.

I've seen Maglite LED replacement "bulbs" at Walmart along with
Maglites and mini-Maglites that come with LEDs and bulbs.

Thanks but I mean really high intensity. I did find the manufacturer and
part number.
