Has anyone had one of these to bits and swapped the LEDs for brighter ones?
I've noticed that the LEDs in this are nowhere near as bright as the LED in
my cateye lamp, though the cateye runs off 3 AAAs, so are probably running
at a daft voltage.

Not thus far. Be careful to get replacement LEDs with the same beam angle,
if you do.Quoted message said:

blue/white LEDs work on a higher voltage than red LEDs.Does your Cateye lamp have an inductor (coil of wire) anywhere in the
circuit BTW?My new(ish) cateye has just started playing up 🙁 and the shop has just
closed 🙁(.AC
