E2d or E2D LED: which model is easiest to upgrade?
And in practical terms, doesn't that mean a LED modd?
The store is holding a sale. I chose an E2d incand, with all-matching Black HA3 – very cute.
As soon as I got home, started thinking that the E2D LED Defender (same price) may have been the better choice.
Basically, I wanted to have an example of the E-series Defender style – BUT – really want to upgrade it, soon.
The few E2-type incand upgrades don't seem particularly bright, but at least they'll just drop-in without me having to make any changes to the light.
If I go for a LED, then the tower drop-in upgrades don't need any metalwork.
But what if I go for something like a Tana TripLED?
All I need to know is if my model is do-able. The crown is a separate part, so it should be removeable.
Inside, the head is recessed to about half-way, with a tube descending to act as the lamp guide.
(The original E2e heads were practically solid aluminium, except for the reflector parabola and a shallow space to allow for a few turns of threading, very over-engineered indeed).
Any advices?
