Muyshondt Aeon - Anyone ever swapped out the Emitter?

[RichS]

Just got a Muyshondt Aeon and it is just an awesome little package. A few pics:

I definitely would enjoy it more with a more neutral tint LED, especially since it will be my most used light.

Anyone every modded one of these with a warm tint emitter?

I've never seen a thread regarding emitter swap for the Aeon or the Nautilus.

But I too would be interested in knowing if it is possible..

Are there any Nautilus' still for sale other than in the MP? :shrug:

the Nautilus project ended way before the emergence of the Aeon, so I'm guessing no

Not that I know of, Endeavour had discontinued them.

You might want to try emailing Brightguy.com, their Nautilus page actually links to their Aeon page but DOES says "OUT OF STOCK" only for the Black Nautilus not for the Natural:

I was late to the game for the Nautilus and put a WTB in the Marketplace and found one and couldn't be happier.

Good luck!

Milky swapped the Aeon's LED for me, and changed the reflector to suit the new LED. Good result.

Thats good news, did he happen to mention if it was difficult to open up?

Nice! I will have to say, compared to my LOD or other WC tint LEDs, it does seem very warm. However, compared to my true warm tint LEDs (5A, 5B), it doesn't have the same effect of making colors "pop", and in that comparison it looks very green-ish

On it's own in normal use, it works great and has a much more pleasing tint than typical blue-ish LEDs. But, modding it with a true warm tint emitter would definitely make this near-perfect EDC even more perfect.
