Hi all,

I'm looking for an LED that would be an upgrade for my Extreme III. It uses a Rebel emitter, which is pretty bright. I'd like more power. Suggestions on an emitter swap?

Thanks,
Kevin

not familiar with that one, and Google has way too many 'extreme' flashlights. Can you post a few images, or a spec page?

More power comes from a driver upgrade. You can get a bit of extra lumens from a more efficient modern LED, but not a large amount. Most people change out the LED to get a better color temperature for their needs.

Thanks for that Archimedes, those Arc's are interesting torches. However, with a 14mm wide body, and fed from a AAA battery, there's not much more power you can get from this platform

Thus, for this light, advances come not from increasing power, but from increasing efficacy. Improvements will be modest, but could be noticeable.
