I've got an older generation Pila GL3 with a 200 lumen incandescent head and 4-LED tail (upgraded to NSPW500CS). It's to the left of the Streamlight in this photo.
I just got a WE D26 HO Cree drop-in which works great in my WE 6PX. I'd like to use it in my GL3, but the battery polarity needs to be reversed. It's not a big deal to reverse the LED's in the tail (with some grinding to fit), but it appears that the tail LED's rely on the fact that the incandescent filament is a short when cold. Will the tail LED's function the same with the D26 in place of the incandescent?
