Hi...I am new to this forum so please excuse me if my post is in the wrong
spot. I am thinking about buying a First Light USA Tomahawk ST. It comes with a LED with 120 lumen rating. I am asking if any of the members here could upgrade it to 300+ lumens ? Thanks Jack

IIRC it already uses a current gen LED. A mod to make it 300 lumen is probably possible but is also probably very hard. I haven't seen a First Light taken apart yet.

:welcome:

I'm not sure how possible it is but if a modder can take apart the Firstlight, he or she might be able to fit in a quad die LED like the Seoul P7 or Cree MC-E. 300 lumen shouldn't be to tough on the batteries.

But the hotspot will be much wider(less throw).

Thanks again Gunner12 ! I will probably buy one of the First lights. Could you recommend some modders that could check it out for me after sending it to them ?
