Awesome pics Cypa, that looks way more powerful than my attempt, but i had to have the red switched way down , so not to over power the blu ray, really great pics. seems like pink is the new winter colour, hehe.
It uses 1 AAA battery, and so the other possibility is this guy didn't know what he was doing and just used the circuit in the flashlight to transform the voltage to 4 or so (for the LED it used to hold?). Not the best driver I'm sure. So yeah, I'll take it apart one of these days and have a look.
