Newbie 1st Modification ???

[trapn1]

Hello, I picked up an inexpensive xenon light at a gunshow last weekend and waned to try a mod to a led. Its a Digilight 2xcr123 cell. Its a pretty nice light as is with glass lens and focusable beam, clickie tailcap and it came with lots of acc. Can someone point me in the right direction. Where do I start with the LED what all do I need, What measurments are critical. I know theres lots to learn but you have to start somewhere right? Thanks for any help. This is a great Forum.

You may have better success in homemade forum. Assuming the 123s are in series, I would start with buck circuit to step down the voltage (boost = step up). BTW I wouldn't mod the light if the body isn't aluminum / other heat-conducting metal because LED requires good heatsinking.

I know this isn't much to get you started, but have a look at the link, and probably post more specific questions.
