Anyone make a USGI style (anglehead) LED light?

[shootist16]

Was looking through my duffle bag and found my issue flashlight.

I was thinking it would be cool if someone made an updated LED version.

Someone does Cree XR-E mods... I can't remember who though.

Elektrolumens used to do SSC P4 regulated mods to the classic Fulton Angle Head:

I've had one for over a year, and it's one of my most used work lights.

Take a look at the Tomahawk MC - similar idea but smaller and neater, with more features. It's had good reviews.

And also if you don't wanna spend that much, check out the Streamlight Sidewinder and Pentagon Molle.

Or you could get an LED drop in
replacement bulb for cheap.

Here are a few to check out:

EverLED

LED Replacment - Terra Lux

Good luck,

Actually, Fulton does make an Angle-head flashlight with an LED - runs about $20 at the PX.

I can't speak to the quality or run-time.

I tweaked my old Fulton out with a Mag 2D replacement LED and ended up giving it away. Great output and runtime though. Kinda wish I'd kept it.

A MagLed 2D dropin will give you pretty good output and long runtime. They are thermally protected so they won't overheat.

You can use a Mag 2D drop-in in this L torch?

 

[TMedina]

I had to do a little field-expedient tweaking, but it isn't so difficult that I'd call it modding, either.

I don't think the MAG led will drop right in... at least it wont on my older MX991/U. The plastic threaded retainer is too small inside diameter.

I wonder if I ship Wayne my issue Fulton and a U2SWOH would he be willing to hook me up? He does not say what emitter he uses in that build and I have 1 on hand.

Does the Zebralight count? It is ostensibly a headlamp but works fine as an angle head light...

I just found some on an auction site. Doesn't say which LED, output, or runtime but it is considerably less than the other alternatives.

I did a couple of reviews of modded Angle Lights from Elektro Lumens.

I did one of these for a friend. I ordered the Dorcy led drop in because it showed a picture of a side emitting led. I had read on here from other modders that the side emitter worked best with that reflector. Well, Dorcy Direct sent me a lambertain led despite what thier picture showed. The results were less than stunning. Also, wrote a complaint to Dorcy and never got a response. Ba**ards.

The Tomahawk is a little pricey but looks like an excellent and very durable light. There are also the (now discontinued?) MOLLE lights from Pentagonlight. Those are definitely not in the same category as the Tomahawk, either in terms of price or build quality.

Big thumbs up on the First Light Tomahawk. The most useful light I own.
