I am trying to work out a way to increase the light intensity with adial for a regular LED from a dollar store flashlight. I don't knowmuch about the LED since I can't see any markings.What would I need to buy from Radio Shack or an electronic store to dothis?Thanks

You probably cannot increase it. Do you mean decrease the light? You could use a varible resistor to adjust the output to the LED.Mike

is there a way to increase the light of an LED with a dial?

Thanks Arfa, Just trying to find a really small Button battery (cr2032) holder. It is all going really smoothly thanks to the helpful members of the group.

Just as a matter of interest, what is this project for ? Don't have to say if you don't want to. Just nice to know where some of these left-field balls come from ...
