Well, I eventually got off my rear end and made it. Take one handtorch, 3x 10,000mAh 'D' cells, and an SSC-P7 LED, add some time with a rotary tool, and here is the result. I still need to waterproof the switch area, but it lives!

Presumably it was a filament bulb before?

Looks like it might have been a single Cree emitter before?

Spot on Thumb Up

It was originally 176 Lumens, which for me, is nowhere near enough. My next task is to get an Optic in there, and focus that beam into something more coherent.
