I just bought two 1/2 watt led's for Farnel ( £1.14) and replaced the bulb in my old rear Wonderlight with them. The output seems about 3-4 time as much and the current is down to 30 milli amps 9 which gives something like 15 hours plus out of the rechargeable Nicads I use.... That were the last of the incandescent bulbs that I have on bike - all 4 lights are LED's

I know the feeling.
I have 2 bikes with a total of 6 battery lights, and 2 alarms using AAA and AA batteries - all rechargeable! Plus spares that I carry in my saddle bags.
I do have fast charging for 6 cells available so not yet a problem.
