I bought a Princeton Tec 2AA incandescent headlamp a little while ago to keep around for emergencies. The beam isn't very good with an incandescent bulb, but it was cheap and I wanted a headlamp that could run off of AA batteries since they are so common. Now that I put the SMJLED in it, the beam is so much better! It is comparable to the River Rock headlamp that I have. I think having a 2AA LED waterproof headlamp for about a total of $25 is a pretty good deal!
I also put a SMJLED in a 2C Mag. I didn't really like the beam quality unless I put it in the tightest focus, but then the hotspot is a little too small for me. Not a knock against the SMJLED, but more a result of the Mag reflector. I hope I have some Writeright or a LDF lens around to smooth out the beam.
