5 minutes
and either the 9V bats are run down down or the 10W halogen starts melting the plastic. I rather switch to LED...

cool
where would i get a halogen bulb and how would i know what the voltage rating was? are all halogens 18V? I live in north america, so if you are somewhere else, could you possibly give me a website?

battery life
how long does this rig last in terms of battery life (thinking of the goonies movie when the asian kid did something like this with car headlights)

Easy to do...but
LED's are brighter than incandescent and last longer and use less power than halogen. You can also upgrade your flashlight to an LED one without much more modification than changing the light fixture and buying an LED one to correspond with the batteries you use and vola!

- leds
  the amount of leds you would have to buy for the same brightness would be crazy. your better of getting an led torch off ebay

Great!
But what about heat? Will it melt the case of flashlight or not?
By mezon 1194171187 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~3345104~~

- Yup
  My thoughts exactly - that is if it works in the 1st place... but halogens are wayyy to hot for cheap plastic case

- yes
  if you leave it on long enough, you'll start smelling burning plastic. those halogens get SUPER hot
