Being a "flashlight freak" I was attracted to your message. Do
you know how many watts the new LED bulbs are?

I now own several LED flashlights:

(1) Dorcy (1 watt LED) powered by 3-AAA's. = Good light output

(2) Elements (1 watt LED) powered by 3-AAA's. = Good light output

(1) River Rock (1.5 watt LED) powered by 2-C's. = Good light output

(1) River Rock (1.5 watt LED) powered by 2-AA's. = Good light output

(1) Brinkmann (holds 3 LED's)(LED power unknown) 2-D's - Poor output

The Dorcy was purchased at Target ($24.99) and the Elements were
two in a pack for $24.99 at Sam's Club. The new River Rock lights
were just purchased at Target ($24.99 and $19.95) .... same as the
Brinkmann.

If you wanted to modify, experiment, upgrade, or destroy the
2-D Brinkmann I would be happy to send it to you at Co. 2.

I also have a 10 million candlepower floodlight. We can discuss
that another day!
