Is the venerable L1D/L2D moddable? I remember that the earlier ones were potted/glued, but can't remember if the L1D can be opened. I'm thinking it may benefit from a Cree Q5 or so. Or is it not worth it?

Any pointers/threads?

It can be opened, the top part of the bezel comes off and exposes the LED, but some are glues tight while others can be opened easily.

If you are good at soldering and have the supplies, it might not be too hard a mod.

I have managed to pop the top on my older one but the LED is held in with some hard white epoxy like substance.
