    All depends upon the casing: What are the dimensions? Pickie would be good – has this not been ‘done’ before on here?

    Tubs , the opening is 34mm narrowing to around 31mm x 30mm in the cylinder
    Plus a tapered bit at the back ( circa 11-12mm )

    Humn,

    looking at the dimensions it would appear you should be able to get some kind of LED package and driver into the can, however having a look at some Google pics of the light it may end up being a one shot deal with fitting them as i can see no way of getting them back out.

    Currently the bulb is held in with a cir-clip and the power switch is external to the lamp housing? Correct me if i’m wrong, what I’ve written next won’t make any sense if i am.

    If you press a module into the housing past the ridge to secure it with the cir-clip you would have no way of getting it back out again and you have no switch or power connector to remove at the back of the lamp to push the LED package out.

    The other aspect to all of this is that it is so cheap for Chinese head units it may make more financial sense to buy a new head unit and wire it to the lupine battery.

    I bought one of the 1800 lumen Cree sets
    Wow amazing light

    Just seems a shame to stop using a really nice light
    Like the passubio

    Think I’ll prolly end up just getting another Cree t6
    Treat them as disposable assets !!

    Thanks for your help , love the fact there’s so much knowledge on this forum

    When you take in to consideration that the can will not have been designed for heat dissipation and that that will force you to reduce the levels at which the LED’s can be run at and then the cost in comparison to a cheap head unit it soon becomes very costly to keep it going.

    What are the specs of the Lupine battery you have?

    This light on eBay looks promising and could make a nice donor for the passubio if the battery spec are similar.
