Question Re: Possible Strion LED Mod

[Triple A]

Thank You For the BEST Flashlight site on the web. I have been enjoying reading posts here for quite some time, and appreciate the knowledge CPF members share each day. The site is so complete that this is the first time I have come up with a question that I couldn't simply research and find an answer to. THANK YOU GUYS!!

My question is this. Is there someone who can modify my streamlight strion to take a nice cree or ssc led? From what I have read on the site, the 3.75 volt lithium ion battery seems perfect for this application, and I consider this to be one of the best size flashlights I have ever used. I love led lights, and just don't enjoy the incandescent in this light any more. I'm sure Streamlight will soon make a new strion with the mysterious "C4" led, but I also believe that modders on CPF will most likely make a better product, if it is possible to do so with the existing strion.

Thank You!!

I don't remember any Strion mods, but I'm sure some of the modders here can mod the light to suit your needs(it might cost a bit though).

A 3.7v Li-ion battery might be good, but with a full battery it would be overdriving the LED(4.2v full) and a close to empty battery would not produce much light.

I'm not sure what voltage the Strion runs on.

Milkyspit is one of the better known modders around here. He might be able to do something for you.
