stupid project I want to do

This isn't really a *repair* question.

You've overlooked a number of things

--mainly how to control the current in the LED. Here's a guy who has thought through the associated issues:

The LED has to be properly biased with the proper value of series resistor its specs.

Go to a hardware centre, and buy a replacement LED for flashlights. You have to know the bulb type and the number of batteries and volts it uses.

Obviously I'm doing this because I'm a hopeless old geek, not to save money or have a magically wonderful flashlight when I'm done.

Can someone recommend a way to attach the led to the old socket so I can put it back into the orginal flashlight?

thanks for your kindess and ideas

only a wanker would want 2 do what u want 2 do go get a life and a gf you sad pathetic loser wanker.

thanks. I'm technically repairing the bulb. It is just a little project that will force me to learn a little about something I know little about. regards
