These pictures are from a Brinkmann LED flashlight which was bravely sacrificed for science and greater knowledge.

Basic side view of the innards: Circuit board with reflector, and lens
Body -- where the cct board sits inside the case. This was meant to be a permanent thing.
Components! WE GOT COMPONENTS! Basic, straight on.
Basic, another view, biggger.
Orthometric view. ;-)
Trace side... anybody want to do the schematic?
And from the ashes, arose the Pheonix. The owner, loath to let the pieces and parts go to waste, put them in a new case -- and it has a better switch.

When I get a chance, I'll try to get the graphics cropped and save them with more compression.

The original experimenter sent in a flashlight comparison:
Here's his pics of six (6) flashes as they battle it out.
CMG Infinity -- Nice light, Brighter than I thought... "Honey, can I buy ANOTHER LED flashlight?" ;-)
LW2000 -- Good, broad, but still bright.
Brinkmann -- Da Bomb... pinpoint and very bright. Is this its downfall? Notice the slight "target" effect.
Trek7 -- Doesn't appear THAT much brighter than the Lightwave 2000. Hm...
Pal Survival -- A fav... I've got the PAL Gold, supposedly brighter -- mine has a rectangular shaped illumination. Slightly broader than the Brinkman.
2 AA Maglight -- Ew, yuck. You mean we used to look at that all the time?

Any comments? Put 'em on CandlePower!
Bring it on!
