E1E Executive Elite blown out

[jslacker]

Hey guys, pseudo n00b here. I inherited an E1E Executive Elite single cell and I'm pretty sure I goofed up and blew it using a CR123 rechargable as opposed to the stock Surefire 123s. My question is did I damage the light or just blow a bulb? TIA!

You just blew the bulb. Google Lumens Factory to find replacements including some that wii work with your rechargeables.

Blew the bulb on my brand new 6P years ago, turns it on with the two primaries that came with it. Then I thought let me try it with two rechargeables. Instant burn out, Put a Malkoff LED drop in and never looked back.
But..yeah, check out Lumens Factory they have so much to offer and great quality too.

So I ordered a drop in LED upgrade from Lumens Factory on Nov 22. Tracking dosent show it hitting the US yet. How long does it typically take to get items from Lumens Factory?

3 to 4 weeks has been the norm for me. Can't be in a hurry these days with the virus slowing everything down.

Hi guys and gals!
Four years later and that drop in Nichia is shining strong!

Good to hear; one less incan lamp assembly = a brighter world.

I like incan lights though. LEDs are nice and brighter but there is just something about incans it is like writing with a fountain pen or listening to a valve grammarphone.
