The bulb burned out on my E1E I carry every day and was wondering if its worth it to upgrade to LED instead of replacing the incadescent bulb. According to the new catalog the LED single battery lights appear to have a lot more Lumens than the older lights would this be the case if I upgraded mine? If so does anyone know the part #'s required to make the change? Thanks

We sell replacement LED heads for E1's here.http://www.tacticalnightvision.com/illumination.htm They have been very well received and it's my favorite carry light when traveling. Hope this helps.

The LED head for single-cell bodies like the E1E is the KX1.  It has 2 levels of output: 3 lumens and 45 lumens.
It's a little pricey, but cheaper than buying a whole new E1L.  You can sell your E1E bezel over on CPF to offset some of the cost.

Vic, what could I expect the lumens to be with your conversion? I know stock the E1E is 15 lumens.

Approx. 100 lumens out the front.

Now if only everyone else would rate their stuff OTF and be clear about it and stand behind it, so much confusion, dissapointment, and whatnot could be prevented. Good stuff!

I received the LED upgrade from Vic at TNVC and it was absolutely worth it. My 1 cell E1E is as bright or brighter than my 3 cell G3 (incadescent). I had no idea I never had any complaints about the E1E just figured that was all the light you could get out of that size light. It seems like it is 10 times brighter than orginally. Thanks Vic.

Thanks for the kind words and thank you for the order!  As stated, the E1 is my favorite carry light. Everywhere I go, the E1 goes. It's small size is perfect as well with my conceal carry pistola. Thanks again.
