Anyone opened up a D'Lumotec Plus?

[syc]

I picked up one in a trade, thinking of maybe upgrading the LED to something more recent and putting it into service on my commuter. But looking at it, there's lots of plastic-y stuff that I'm afraid my snap and break if I don't take it apart the right way.

So, wondering if anyone has opened one up and can provide some guidance to putting it back together and maybe how hard it is to mod. I'm more than a little curious about what is under the covers of these lights.

Cool! Thanks for posting those.

Did you just pry the front off it?

There is a small hole in the bottom. There is something holding the light/reflector in place. It can be opened with a small screwdriver or something. I can send better instructions once I get back home. :)

That set should include everyhing needed to open the Oval light. I'll probably open the IQ Cyo later. :)

Thanks again! I just opened up the D'Lumotec and can see why you didn't open up the heatsink/LED. I've got it in the freezer to see if it allows me to remove the heatsink from the reflector cleanly.
