Can you upgrade the Olight M30? ie drop in emitter? Maybe SST-90? Thanks.

The M30 head is a sealed unit, you might have to disassemble the head and modify the reflector

If you want a SST-90 in it you might have to wait or you can get a M21 with a SST-50.

M30 head is a sealed unit? Is that the reason the reflector fell out when I opened mine?

I wouldn't modify anything there, if you put in another type of led, you need another driver, surely a better heatsink, bullshit...

If you want an SST-90, you'll be helped soon : K90 Intimidator, 2200 Lumen. Too strong? K50 then, SST50, 1.000 Lumen. For the rest there won't be a stronger M21, that's the K50.

Well looks like the one I saw wont budge unless I had a strap wrench. It ain't moving and its not mines so I have desire to mess with it.
