Can anyone out there tell me if they have replaced the LED that comes with this light with a better LED? Can someone suggest a modifier that would be willing to install new/better LED in a couple UKs that I have.

My reason for asking is that I have two UK 4AAs that I lost the luxeon lottery on and like the lights enough that I don't mind paying for the modification. Many thanks.

I did this but I couldn't locate a really good side emitter star to replace it with. I ended up replacing the NX1K with a PV1K. I posted some pics about a month ago in the LED forum. The first step is to use a bit of force and pop the reflector off. Then you very carefully whittle away at the epoxy around the star. I'm not sure if it will work with all of them, but that's how I got mine apart.
