Picked up a 3aaa Lifegear. The Cree with SMOOTH reflector has a terrible beam. This light runs great with a 18650 and the Cree sits on a huge aluminum heatsink. I like the form factor of this flashlight so I'm looking to change the led. Any ideas? MCE or P7? Gonna order from DX.

As long as you proper heat sinking, you should be fine.
And I would make it simple at use a p7, there just so easy to work with. I wouldn't order that P7 from DX, because they sell the 500-600 Lumen version.
Also, if you want to use the original reflector, be sure the hole is big enough for the LED.
