Flashlight Hack (softstart for longer life)

I was browsing through hackaday.com and they found this really simple flashlight hack for soft starting your flashlight to help reduce the wear on the bulb hence extending the life of the bulb. The project is by Reinhard Kopka and it is a very simple circuit that you can build, most likely from spare parts, and easily embed it into your favorite flashlight. Link to project….
