Photon Fusion: Mod Host?

[AlexSchira]

I have a shipment of Nichia GS keychain lights coming in, I just want the LEDs to upgrade my Photons. However, looking through the archives about modding a a Petzl Tikka got me curious...While a DS Tikka would be nice, what about getting an ancient Photon Fusion and replacing the BS LEDs with GS? I've never handled one nor do I know how easily it comes apart, but it's a very versatile design that never caught on and therefore never got decent LEDs. Has anyone else tried modding one of these?

I have one of those, it is quite bright but Mike tells me that the mod was kinda rough.

AlexSchira: Modding a Photon Fusion is like going to hell and back. The wire trace on the PCB will easily fall apart when trying to remove the LED's. Plus LRI has discontinued making the Fusion headlamp. Might be cheaper to just buy one of my mods.
