Oooohh you can convert them?
I have what looks like an early model weapon-strappable light, and a metal cased Surefire - love to get them both to LED...they seem so unreliable with incandescant.</div></div>
You CAN convert them, but for the cost of the replacement head, you might as well spend twenty or thirty dollars more and get the complete light.
I carried the original E2D for about four years, and just recently upgraded to the E2D LED last month, after much nagging and mockery from LED-equipped co-workers.
Yeah, it's definitely better in every regard.
My one and only gripe about the LED model is that the LED head is slightly bulkier, with smaller strike bezeling (is that a word?) than the original. For carry using the pocket clip in a cargo pocket, the newer model doesn't quite fit underneath the pocket flap. All in all, an acceptable tradeoff for a much brighter beam, twice the runtime, and the ability to click over to an extremely long-lasting low power mode.
