There comes a time after we all desire a flashlight, but no person wants to plop down numerous cash for one. DIY fanatic Kip Kay shows you the way to turn a dim, cheap, $10 flashlight into something worthy of $95.
Sure, it won’t feel like a $95 flashlight-it’ll still feel like an affordable piece of plastic-but at the least you’ll be satisfied with its brightness. You’ll want to do somewhat more than just replace the bulb for this hack, since the brand new one will require bigger, 3V batteries-so you should definitely have a drill accessible to take away the battery-holding ridges inside. Try the video to peer how it’s done.
