Well, I ordered a 3C LEDBeam about a month ago and was generally impressed, except that it didn't have as tight of a beam or as quite as much throw as a modified Maglite.
On the other hand, I recently bought yet another LED Mag mod that I really liked but I wished for a larger hotspot. I got the idea to just swap reflectors between the Mag and LEDBeam. VERY nice. With the LEDBeam reflector in the Mag, there is actually a small usable range of beam tightness unlike the stock Mag which pretty much just works well on the very tighest setting.
On the other hand, with the Mag reflector in the LEDBeam light, the beam is even tighter and there is a bit more throw.
If the reflectors are compared to one another, they look VERY similar except the LEDBeam reflector is textured silver on the outside of the reflector while the Mag has the silver drip over and some visible blue plastic.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
