Hey Folks. A while ago I was inspired by a tutorial posted by Gryloc about how to wrench the 1W Luxeon out of a Streamlight Propolymer Luxeon 4AA and stick something else inside. After a bit of tinkering, I can now confirm that the process he describes also works nicely for the Propolymer Luxeon 3C. I can also confirm that this mod is significantly tougher than the simple LED swap outs that I have attempted before. On the bright side, swapping out the Lux for a Seoul P4 does appear to give you twice the output and a very nice beam pattern.
Please note that if you want to do this mod and you're not a guru, make sure you read the whole thread above – there are some important insights from the posts that follow.
Finally, the beams shots. Top left is stock 3C with 1W Luxeon. Top right is same but -2 stops. Lower left is 3C with Seoul P4 U-bin, lower right is same but -2 stops.
And just for comparison, here is an L2D-CE with a filed-down McR19-XR and Energizer NiMHs on Turbo.
