This unit is powered by three AA cells, but could be hacked to a USB supply. The manufacturer has tried to intensity match the LEDs with the result that the green LED is powered at a very low 3.8mA, while the yellow LED is being grilled at 150mA even though it's still much dimmer!
A set of identical colour blue, green or white LEDs would improve battery life greatly, while still being a bright and useful light for adding a touch of style on a temporary basis.
An interesting twist would be to make the unit rechargeable, as it has loads of room for lithium cells.
Although this light came from a UK High-street store (One Beyond), it may be available from other sources.
At £3 the price is worth it for the case and lenses alone.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- https://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
