If I were in a position to design and manufacture my own custom utility-outdoors-survival light, this is almost exactly the body and form factor that I would produce:
UK 2AA w/Switch
http://www.brightguy.com/detail.php?Sku=UND15001
Short length, using two commonly available AA cells side-by-side. Easily pocketable. Thumb-switch on the body of the light, right behind the head. Waterproof. Safety-rated. Ultra-rugged. Great attachment options. Helmet mountable.
Perfect in every respect except for one thing: it is offered only with an incandescent bulb. Why the heck don't they offer this superb little light in LED? Many of their other lights are available in both incan and LED versions.
Is it possible to get this light and then swap in the LED assembly from some other UK light?
The 2AA appears to use the same bezel as two other UK models: the 4AA and the 2L. They offer so many similar lights that I am bewildered trying to figure out what heads will work with what lights. I've read that some heads can be swapped to other lights.
If that isn't possible, is there an easy LED modification that will work for this light?
Thanks in advance for any help.
