Matterhorn (or McKinley) moddable?

[mcmc]

Hi,

I found a source of some very inexpensive Matterhorns and McKinleys in brass - and I picked up several brass 1-led Matterhorns in lug and keyring, for gifts. However,the McKinleys and Kilimanjaros were only available in brass with red leds - I was wondering how hard or if it was even possible, to swap out the leds on these bad boys?

Thanks!!

Probably difficult. I'm guessing they're pretty well secured in there.

Cool...thx for the info sir

No problem. I haven't heard of too many people being able to mod Peak lights without some serious work. The electronics, if any, are probably potted in some really tough epoxy.

According to Dati-LED, the Pacifics are potted in epoxy and a pain in the tush to mod. But I just sent him two Caribbean lights (at least that's what I think they are) and they are potted in silicone. I'm upgrading both with a Khatod reflector and the new U bin Seoul LEDs.

I don't know about the Matterhorn or McKinley
