What drop-in for Brinkmann Legend LX?

[milwaukeeblues]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive LED drop-in that will fit the Brinkmann Legend LX?

Also, is there such a thing as a drop-in for the Surefire E2 Executive?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Peter

I've heard many P60 style drop-ins work for the Maxfire LX. You'll have to remove the reflector though.

As for the E2E, there are replacement heads from Surefire(KX1, KX2 are the ones that use the current gen LEDs), microtower drop-in, and Optics HQ has two.

You can also get milkyspit to mod either light.

Thanks Gunner12 for your reply. The Legend LX is a little tricky. A while ago I removed the insides and dropped in a Surefire P61 bulb assembly, which is working fine. The Surefire P60 also fits perfectly.

So you would think that many P60 style drop-ins would fit. But my experience is that most do not, owing to a different form factor. The form factor of the typical P60 drop-in is fatter toward the contact end because it doesn't bevel off as fast as the Surefire P60 or P61. Because of that, the LED drop-ins I've tried do not clear the Legend LX head, and you can't fasten the bezel.

So I'm looking for a drop-in that more closely matches the form factor of the original Surefire P60 assembly.

Has anyone been successful with a particular drop-in in a Brinkmann Legend LX body?

Thanks! -Peter

Yeah... the DX drop ins are fat and bulky compared to the SF branded modules.

This TOP stryker might fit, but note I have no first hand experience with it or your brinkman.

FWIW, The T.O.P. lights also do not fit the DX-shaped modules. I came really close to getting one, until I found out they do not accept DX (or similarly shaped) modules. I had one in my hands at the Frys check-out line and something made me put it back and research further... got lucky I guess.

I have a Bug Out Gear drop in that I just put into my Maxfire to see if it fit and it does. The module is a little bit tall so the bezel has a bit of a gap but it feels solid and works fine. You could put an o-ring in there, or if the drop in was going to have a permanent home in the brinkman, you could just snip the spring a little to make it shorter.
