Damien, If you are referring to my earlier post, the point wasn't that I was "against" anything. I only detailed how this extraneous circuitry, which has nothing to do with producing CS, will not provide the battery or $$ savings it would appear at first glance. Ken (Ode Coyote) and I off-list discussed his particular applicatiion where this additional power cost would NOT preclude using such a device and would be quite practical.
To everyone that thinks this is a way to save batteries I have one question for you: If this type of trickery is valid then why don't ALL flashlights require a single 1.5vdc cell?
