Inside the Energizer Lantern by -Xcandescent-
Things to note about the pictures:
First, those stupid plastic tubes. Those have to be
the worst light diffusers I've ever seen. Whatever
light comes from the LED's is completely wasted when
they're inside those things.
Second, in the switch closeup pic, you'll notice that
there appear to be TWO sets of switches. In reality,
the switch the user sees is actually a "cover" for the
real switch, which is soldered to the wires that lead
to the circuit board. It physically mates with the
real switch; without disassembling the light, you
wouldn't know the difference.
The green cover at top left in the full shot is the
battery compartment cover. The plastic tubes fit into
the white light shield to the right, and are attached
to the battery holder using the thin piece of plastic
at far top (you can barely see it; it's out of focus).
Those rubber and plastic rings on the wires wrap
around hollow posts on the casing. The wires run
through the middle of the posts. That is what the
light shield actually mounts on; the rubber rings
provide the necessary friction to keep the shield from
flopping around.
Finally, the dark color rings on the resistors
are black. =)
I measured the resistance values for
both, and they were pretty close to 56 ohms (which is
what the color coding indicates).
