I've always liked the form-factor of the 2AA clip-on lights. It's like a Minimag you can clip to a pocket and aim, or a headlamp you don't have to wear on your head. Of course, the ugly incan beam had to go--SMJLED to the rescue!
The left one has the SMJLED mounted in place of the stock xenon bulb
Both lights are running store-bought Lithium L91s, not surplus
The beam of the SMJLED is really only slightly violet, not the deep blue the camera saw. I set the focus on flood because these will be 20-hour map reading lights for the car. Yes, the incan really is that artifacty-those are dark spots being projected, not the wall
Only the bulbs were modified so this mod is fully reversible. As a bonus, I salvaged the xenon bulbs with some difficulty and plugged them into Mini-Mags. They are a lot brighter than the Mag bulbs!
