I have had a Brinkmann Nexstar 2C flashlight for several years. I carry it in my truck. It appears to be a well-made light, and I'm interested in converting it to an LED. Has anyone does that with this particular light? I've taken it apart and it doesn't appear it would take the drop-in replacements like a Maglite.

Years ago when luxeons were still fairly new to us, several modders did conversions. Some of cool mention were custom 1W overdriven to 750ma with a BB750. Some were 3x123a cells with a 5watt. That's all I remember.

I put one together with a sleeve to take 123's. two batteries plus a dummy cell with the dropping resistor inside the dummy cell.
