I was digging through some old boxes and found this old single LED 2XAAA light I didn’t realize I had. The only marking is “Inova” so I searched here and found it’s called a Bolt 3A. I would post a picture and/or a link to their website but right this minute I’m stuck posting from an XBox 360 (computer died, yay more expense).
Anyhow, it’s a decent-looking little light, and it simply does not work. I can remove the tailcap and the bezel, but the lens seems to be attached to some kind of screw-in assembly which also seems to include the reflector, emitter, and driver. I have no idea how to take that off, as only a tiny amount of threads are showing - not enough to get a grip on by hand, and I don’t want to risk using any kind of pliers on it for fear of ruining the threads.
I’d like to see if I can repair it, or maybe even upgrade it a little bit if it’s just busted anyhow. Having a tough winter financially, so I’m trying to do these little projects that don’t take much. Plus, again, I kinda dig the look of the light and I think it would be a nice backup or nightstand light at least.
So I was just wondering if anyone has taken it all the way apart, if maybe you have any tips.
Also, do you think this belongs in the modding sub-forum (for taking things apart) or the AAA sub-forum (because it’s a 2XAAA light)?
