I'm new to this, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a good LED bulb upgrade for a strion. I was hoping for something along the lines of a cree drop in or something compareable. If anyone has any advise, I would greatly appreciate it.

Nope, I think it would be impossible to do, without a major redesign of the light.

I don't think anyone has ever undertaken it.

I asked the same question a few months ago and the best information I got was to contact a member by the name of milkyspit. He does all kinds of mods. I never did get around to talking to him so if you contact him can you let me know if he has an option available?

Thought about the same here with the Strion. Hopefully SL will come out with a Strion LED with a cree or ssc. They upgraded the Stinger with a Luxeon LED but I modded both of mine with an SSC and a KLC8 LED. BIG difference!

I think larger manufactures wait until they see how newer LEDs perform just in case there is some major defect or problem with them within the first year.
