Welcome to BLF, Pavithra! What kind of flashlights do you currently own?
:(( actually I didn't own any branded flashlights. I own 4 flashlights that converted to LED by me. 1 I built myself (hand made everything including body).
they all using Cree & Nichia LEDs

Not a problem.
You know, we have another gentleman here that works without a lathe. We in fact call him, "the human lathe." Our very own, Old-Lumens.

Welcome to the forum. I went on holiday some years ago to Sri Lanka, we stayed near Galle on the south west coast.
So much to see and do. But the best part was the people who live there, all very nice and welcoming.
Aloha and welcome to BLF Pavithra!
