Right, well, I did all that - only to find that adding the resistor dims all the LED's down to absolutely useless.

So, I removed the resistor and hooked it up to four LED's. Perfect and as bright as they were in the torch. Then I hooked it up to the remaining four that were in the torch also. Perfect again. Looks like the torch didn't need a resistor, so just because they are joined now via wires instead of a board, it seems it doesn't necessarily mean they need a resistor all of a sudden.
