[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1364739, member: 229"] So I ordered some of these: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190463351404&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT[/url] Understanding that they were Chinese-made and wouldn't be super-impressive, but they work pretty well (aside from one issue - my G2s' bezels/heads won't close all the way). I also noticed that with the 3 different G2s I have, they all seem to be slightly different sized (don't know if they changed them over the years or what - one is a really old one and one is a newer one and all of them sitting next to each other look to have slightly different sized bodies/heads). Anyone have any experience with using these generic LED upgrades or am I just wasting my time/money? I like the throw/spill they put out, and they seem fairly well made other than the fact that the lamp-reflector is just a touch too long to fit inside the G2 and allow the head to screw all the way down. I'm considering sanding/grinding/cutting on the reflector (its modular so it unscrews from the LED) and seeing if it fits after that or just getting an extra O-ring and putting it in-between the head/body of the flashlight (it almost closes, but not quite - maybe less than a mm). Anyone used one of these before and have any advice? [/QUOTE]
