Hey everyone, wanted to see if there were any mods/LED swaps for this headlamp? It’s pretty cool since it’s my first AA HAZ approved light? My other HAZ headlamp is an older 3x AAA Streamlight (lost the battery carrier 😱).
Picked it up last week at a church yard sale for $3, thought the dude was gonna charge like $15 or something. Wasn’t really looking for a headlamp if it was going to be more than $10 since I’ve got an about 3 headlamps waiting in line until my current BD headlamp stops working. What caught my eye was the brand name and reading up on the beat up box said it used 2x AA, and recommended Ni-Mh. That’s a win-win in my book 🤣
When I pulled out the light and the head strap in the other box compartment I saw two Duracell batteries inside were already corroded with an expiration date of 2026 lolz. All the internal manufacturers packing was still intact which is how I know it’s new old stock (NOS).
I didn’t anything on the web for mods and honestly wasn’t expecting to find any considering the use case of this light. Still doesn’t hurt to ask. Inside the battery compartment there’s four Phillips screws, just haven’t had the opportunity to take it apart. Thinking of swapping out for a high CRI LED from Mountain Electronics depending on the type of LED is in the Pixa 1.
