GLADIUS/INSIGHT TYPHOON SEOULED(P4) MODDING ***UPDATES & DISCUSSION ***

Gladius X1 -- Is it possible to pay by US Postal Service Money Order, for example, by sending the MO in advance of the actual light? (I know it was asked before, but I guess answered in a PM) Thanks.

I'm very interested in this modification, as my Gladius is my primary duty light. A couple of questions:

How's the impact resistance? I've dropped flashlights in foot chases, and a SF M3 kept breaking its bulbs. That's one of the attractions of an LED, besides the strobing--I want the thing to always work. How "secure" is the new LED?

Are any new overheating issues introduced with the new LED? Or does it run as cool? (I just want an idiot-proof, very bright strobing light that I know will work.)

What's the advantage of the new reflector? I have two older Gladius lights--why would I want the new reflector? Not trolling--serious question.

Thanks for your help!

PLEASE READ IMPORTANT TO ALL.
I have had a lot of guys asking about the reflector replacement .98% don't need it and will not benifit from it ,but others will ,some older Glads had poor reflectors due to bad casting as these are made of plastic.so please don't ask as it will vary and I need to see the light.will not change any reflector till I email the person that might require replacement.these are the same factory ones as original ones in the light.I will be posting schedule system this weekend to control the influx of lights.it is getting very busy and I will have no time for the family and mountain biking ,it looks as if I will limit the amount to between 5-10 lights per week. I will see. so please.check back to get the latest updates and changes.
Thank You Everyone

I WILL ONLY BE MODDING THE GLADIUS/TYPHOON & HDS EDC SERIES OF LIGHTS AT THIS TIME.

The lights I had modded are all just as factory, except with a new led.
They would be just as reliable as a factory fresh light, although much better, brighter and usefull

Hi Gladius, email sent...

 

[GLADIUSX1]

UPDATE PLEASE READ.
I've posted new info to the modding & shipping post please check for update .I will now be shipping out once a week.Saturdays or Mondays.At this time I have a little backlog.There will be about 12 lights shipping out ,Please check to see if yours shipped.This policy is due to the fact that I work 10 hours a day and have a family too.I have increased the lead time once before from 4 to 8 days but I have to extend it one more time to 12 days not including weekends .this is only a maximum time and any given light could ship earlier than that.I hope everyone understands and is good with this change as it is written in stone and clearly stated.
