Just finished on modding my L1T with a Seoul P4 LED, the result was better than imagined, the SSC P4 LED just gives the L1T a whole new life.

The mod took several hours, did not do it the easy way, by just removing the old LED and replace it with the new one, no i used a SSC P4 on a "mini star " board/heatsink, and grinded the heatsink on the L1T and the mini board/heatsing to make it fit without any glue at all, just two screws and Artic Silver 5 Coumpound to connect the mini board to the L1T heatsink.

Here is some pictures of the final result:

The result was better than expected, since this is my first mod, I was prepared to have a defective L1T and no SSC P4 LED after a failed job. The LED is perfectly centred in the reflector.

Now the output coming from this flashlight now is just amazing, even better than expected.

Congrats on a successful first "real" mod. Is that the mini star from DX?
