That's a Petzl Zoom; I loved mine!!
You could try one of the bulb replacements from LED-replacement. You'd be looking at something like the Tektite LS407. I'm not sure if they make everLED's with screw-base.
TerraLux has a screw-type replacement LED bulb also, but I don't recommend it. It's a rather large and dim 10mm LED. The one I had broke off the screw-base the first time I installed it in my Petzl Zora.

I loved my petzl zoom(the mega belt with 3 C batteries). I used to use it for caving.
It throws pretty well, and It does not have the ugly black hole in the middle of the beam when it is defocused like maglights. Any one know how they do that?
It has some artifacts, but a LOP reflector would probally get rid of that.

Any other drop in LED for the old incan Petzl?
Any 3 watt led ideas?
Really would like to get the old Petzl to perform like an Apex.
Hmm or should I just get the Apex :thinking:

You could try an everLED in there. I don't know of any LuxIII drop-in, though. Maybe the new Mag 4D drop-ins are LuxIII? Heatsinking would be a problem with any of these.

Thanks for reminding me about the heat. I had almost forgot about it.
NOt to sure the mag 4d would drop in nicely since its not threaded.
I ll buy the APEx then :naughty:
