I have a X3 xenon and MS2 X TR I thought about modding to LED. I've searched for weeks on info for converting them. It seems that the only options are to use a P60 drop in with a modifier new reflector or to just screw the P60 bulb assembly to the Pentagon reflector, or lastly get someone with a lathe to modify the light for something.
Now I've tried a $12 Cree P60 to the pentagon reflector and wasn't impressed with light output. The X3 has 135 lumens at 9 volts and the MS2 has 70 lumens at 6 volts. Both of these lights are weapon lights mounted to AR15's and have good throw, spot and spilll, but they just don't have what the newer high power LED's do. Are there any High Output Throw LED options out there for me that I've not been able to come across by searching the archives from 9+ years back?
I love the Pentagon lights and would like to keep them in service, but they just don't have the brightness of my Surefires and Streamlights. Any help is appreciated. I have a Surefire E2D that needs the LED treatment as well, but I'll save that one for a future post.
