You would need an entirely new driver, and even then the batteries used may not have enough Juice to drive a GB diode. It's not Impossible..it would take time...but unfortunately just swapping dodes won't work. Flashlight mods are much more popular as they usually have enough room for a proper regulator circiut. Good Luck! Larry
