Hello everyone. Yes, I am new to your forum, but have been reading your threads and learning from your experiences for quite some time. First I'd like to thank you for all the effort you've put in to making this place such a great resource. One such example is Subwoofer's review of the light in question.
For me flashlights are a necessity. I need lights that I know I can trust. I've found Streamlight to be one such brand. They've recently come out with a product that looks capable of filling a need I have, which is a lightweight weapon mounted white light capable of target illumination and identification at or beyond 300 yd. The TLR-1s HP. They also have another model, The TLR-1 HL, which is 630 lumens, but as I understand it, is designed for close range flood and not long range spot like the 200 lumen HP.
Since both lights are TLR-1's, I had hoped there would be some parts interchangeably. Would it be possible to swap the LED module from the brighter HL into the HP? I would think that with the deep reflector design of the HP it would be able to throw light even further with a brighter LED. If the parts couldn't interchange, what upgrade is available for the HP? If it required soldering I'm fully capable. I just don't have the intimate knowledge base with the inner workings of this product or this side of the industry to know what can be done, and where to source parts to do it.
As I understand it the HP should already be up to the task of 300 yd. It is the beyond, say maybe almost doubling that distance, that I seek to achieve. Thanks in advance for any and all insight into this topic.
