Re: new e1e and man it\'s small
Zerox,
Yup - put a P61 in my LX. As bright as any Surefire using the same lamp (since they use the same lamp!) Although I don't know about it being twice as bright - the LX is brighter with it's own lamp (subjective tests only, but it was obvious) than a p60 module used in a 6p.
The process is (Thanks to Kogatana):
Remove the bezel/bulb. Open LX battery compartment. Look in the compartment, you'll see a little black clip. Catch the clip with a long probe and push on the ceramic bulb holder from the bezel side - both will pop out and slide down the battery tube.
Remove reflector from bezel and drop in p60 or p61 module. Close it up.
Drop 2 batteries in battery tube and replace tailcap. Screw on the bezel until firm - should cover one O-ring and possibly the second, but don't force it - the Pxx lamp modules are just a touch longer than the normal assembly.
You're done.
Remove the rubber handle cover and rubber bezel ring for a really nice look.
The Legend LX is no more impractical than a Streamlight Scorpion or any Surefire based on the 6p design - but let's not start that "discussion" again... (Al and I have a bit of a differing opinion on this subject
It all boils down to personal preferences.)
I do own an e2 and if I could justify the expense I would get an e1 as well, but the e2 is just so pocketable, it does the job just fine. The LX goes in a belt holster when I need to carry it.
