Now that I have picked up a PD32UE, I've been thinking of either selling me PD32 or changing out the LED. I know some on CPF have changed out the LED on this one and so I guess it can be done, but just how do you open it up to get at the LED?
I'm assuming that you unscrew the end of the head where the reflector is rather than going in through the end where the printed circuit board is? I put a rubber strap wrench on it and twisted but I could not hold the other end with my hand tight enough to keep it from spinning in my fingers. Before attempting something more aggressive like a vise, I thought I'd better ask.
Also when replacing the LED, do you use a bare emitter or one that is already attached to a disc? I'm thinking I'd like to try an XP-G2........hopefully one in the 5000 to 6000k color area.
Thanks in advance!
