I ordered one from Lumen Factory. It's the only one I could find on the internet in current production. I haven't received it yet, so I can't tell how it's going to work. When it does, I'll post back...

I got the factory ones before they were gone, great improvement.

Okay, the long slow boat from China finally arrived a couple of days ago, and I just put it in.
Man, what a difference!!! Worth the $43 for me. 2 caveats... First, make sure you have the polarity right Second, the spring from the old may or may not need to be used, not sure, but I moved it over. To do so, I had to shorten it by 1.5 coils. And it was hella hard to get off the old bulb fixture. Other than that, easy. Woody |

Try this. It lists the M2 UTL. If the link works right....
Click Me! Click Me!! It does look like the price went up by $10 since I ordered in mid-December. Still worth it to me as an old dim M2 user... They are basically drop in. The old module has a spring on the back that provides forward pressure on the bulb module. The new one doesn't come with one. If the old spring would slide off easy, I'd say try just slipping it on and see if it closes and operates. My spring was stubborn and got elongated by the time I got it out. So, I trimmed off about 1.5 coils, slipped it around the back of the new unit, and in it went. Works fine for me. |

I ordered a few for my lights. Should be here in a few weeks.
If these work I guess I'll be buying up the stacks of used UTL's locally and converting all the things. Thanks for the post. I searched high and low for these and gave up a while back. |

You can buy a used Insight M3 or M6 with LED.
Sometimes the M6 is cheaper. Take the Bezel off and onto the old M2. |

Lumen factory replacement does indeed work. It is drop in. No tools needed.
I just did one of mine successfully. Didn't even bother with the spring but I may move it over later depending on functionality after I'm able to test fire |

Just got a m3 light cheap used with led for the bezel swap (cheaper than the lumen factory bulb). The led bulb retrofit is overpriced in my opinion and the price increase made me look elsewhere with led prices dropping. I got surefire conversation bulbs on eBay for less than $10 that are great.
What sucks is I have a few m3 lights with standard bulbs. Cheaper to sell and just buy the led ones on eBay Sucks these should be much cheaper |
