I had to switch them. No big deal. I just tested it first and then installed it.

Tony, I just went online and ordered that Inova x5 - I hope it's worth it. Paid 38.50 plus shipping and tax...came to about $47. I ordered the titanium. But I couldn't find a dimension for the length of this thing. How big is it?

Ag951, thanks for the explanation on what the LEDs are! That was very helpful!

The Inova is about...4.5 inches. I cant measure as its in the car covered and locked up at the moment. Its small, but its bright as hell. If you can, turn off all the lights in a room at night with no windows, like a basement and just go down there with the flashlight. That will show you its power. Try holding up over your head to so you can spread its light.
Oh hey, i just found this on some site selling them (for more than ebay is...). Here is a good description.

I just did mine with the red LED. I cant wait til its dark! Bright in sunlight- Pirated all the stuff from a promo keyring- Total cost : Zero. Labor about 30 minutes- I had smaller batteries that came with the original keychain which I duct taped together. I LOVE this mod!
