Thanks, that's an interesting idea. I'm not much with a soldering pencil or iron. But my brother did bench work and had the skill to perform that type of operation.
Right now, I'm just looking at the situation as - at least I have "all night" blinking warning light, that could be used as "backup" in a pinch. I was already using a Stella double AA . And all I had hoped for was couple of more 120 to 150 lumen light heads......- but these things look like they must be 50 to 80, no way over 100......
