Hello all,

i am going to try and swap out leds in some lights soon and was interested in a olight R50 and swap out to a 3000k XHP 50.2 led. And idea how to get the bezel ring off? And i know the led/board is held on with 2 screws but also read it has thremal compound on it too. Do i have to heat that up or should the board come off easy once the 2 screws are removed? Thanks and am getting excited to try my own mods

I can't answer all your questions, but I have the R50 pro and the bezel screws right off and the lens reflector pop right out afterwards.

If you decide to not take on the challenge Vihn will do it for you. He put a 4000K in mine.

Thanks
vihn has done several lights for me also. Just kind of like to try it myself. only thing i am worried about is getting the led/board off the pill if it has that thermal compound stuff on it.
thanks
