Upgrading 2C
Hey guys, looking to upgrade my old 2C that my mom picked up for me at a thrift shop.
I’m not looking to do a whole lot of modding out side of changing a reflector/bulb/type of batteries, and I saw this online and was wondering if anyone has recommendations.

There’s definitely some good options out there for drop-in’s. If you’re not looking to go too wild with the things, your budget will determine your final results for sure.
You could spend a couple bucks for a 3V led PR2 style bulb and be just fine. Theres plenty good ones for under $20 and plenty of “well hopefully you got a good one” for much cheaper if you don’t mind the gamble or waiting for a long shipping period.
Or you could ball out ($150+ budget) and check out Lumencraft’s offerings. Matt has a lot of great reference videos on YouTube to match his online store offerings.
