I can't seem to find any threads about swapping out LED modules on any zebra lights. My ideal reading light would be a q3-5a cree to replace the stock led. I can't find any threads with a picture of the whole light dis-assembled. Anyone?
Anyone mod a zebralight yet?

Please post in the correct forum. Headlamps or H&M would both be reasonable places to post this, but not in LED Flashlights where you have put it.
I'm moving it to H&M.

I don't much like the 'cold' light LED in my H30, but it doesn't look like it's gonna be easy to swap the emitter.
I gently pried up the switch PC board and looked underneath. The wires under the board are so short, I could only lift it about 1 or 2 mm and peek under the edge. It appears that the emitter assembly is pressed into the tube from the battery end and then filled with that white caulk/heatsink adhesive. To get a good look, I would have to unsolder the wires from the switch PC board. That won't be hard, but soldering them back in will be a real pain because they are so short and they attach from under the board, but solder from the top.
Considering how much this little jewel cost me from Four Sevens, I don't think I want to risk any further exploratory surgery. I'll let someone else figure out how to pull the emitter without damaging the circuitry.

Yah, the H30 is pretty weak. Definitely does not live up to the hype. I love the size, but it needs a serious improvement in output and tint. It could use a little MCE lovin.
