Legend LX to Surefire P60 / P61 Lamp Module

 
 
 
P60 / P61
         

For those of you who asked:

I finally got around to putting the P60 / P61 module in the Legend LX. I became irritated when the LX kept getting out of focus. Turns out the bi-pin bulb was working its way out of the socket and therefore changing the focus. If you want to do it, this seems to be the best procedure:

Remove the head, tailcap, and batteries. Pull out the bulb.
Press with your finger on the ceramic bulb holder.
Reach into the battery compartment with a long probe and hook one of the curves on the clip at the end.
Press with your finger while applying pressure to the clip. The clip will come loose and the ceramic disk will press into the body.
Remove the clip and disc.
Place batteries in and attach tailcap.
Open head and remove old reflector.
Drop in P60 or P61 and close head.
Screw head onto light body until resistance is met - the head will just start to cover the 2nd O-ring on the body.
Blast away!

The lens seems quite resistant to the heat. The bulb does not touch the lens. The reflector does press against the lens, but seems to have no effect.

The P60 will put out about 60 lumens of light for 1 hour on the 2 123a batteries. The P61 will put out about 120 lumens for 20 minutes on the same batteries.

The light assembled - I removed the rubber covers
