PLEASE NOTE: The modifications section of this site is no longer updated or maintained.
Some of this information is rather old and out-of-date.

This is now only an archive of the Modifications section which was a regular part of FlashlightReviews.com back in the "early days" of LEDs when white 5mm LEDs first came onto the market and LED flashlights were (believe it or not) hard to find.

Modifying flashlights can be a fun, entertaining and fairly inexpensive hobby. This is a list of the various modifications made to flashlights (by myself and others). Frequently they involve the conversion from incandescent to LED bulbs.

LEDs have the advantage of being more durable that incandescent bulbs and also consume less power. Of course, they don't produce as much light as incandescent lights, so they may not be acceptable for use under certain circumstances.

None of these mods are "for sale" unless indicated. The ones made by myself were made for my own entertainment and are presented here only for your entertainment and enjoyment.

THANK YOU everyone who has sent in mods for display on FlashlightReviews.com. I am no longer accepting mods for addition to this page due to time and space constraints.

Skill Level Key:

1 = Beginner level mod - little or no soldering needed. Good for learning the skills for the next level.
2 = Intermediate level mod - need to be familiar with soldering and cutting plastic. A rotary tool would be handy.
3 = Advanced level mod - may require custom circuits or very precise work.

Many of these modifications were originally described in the CandlePowerForums. Please visit the forums for more information if you are interested. You do not need to register to view the posts.

Navigation tip: at the top each page you will see a droptab. On several of the Mod pages, links to the websites selling the major parts used in the mods are provided in the droptab.

Enjoy!
