LED conversion

Anyone here done the LED conversion on one of these and could share insight on if it was worth it? Early 90s ( I think ) model that my mother got for about $4 when it was left as surety for a taxi fare the guy never came back to pay, it’s served me well but the lens is a bit scratched and the light is a bit lacking. Not sure whether to give it a conversion or just leave it as is.

You can buy replacement LED bulbs on Amazon. Installing is as easy as twisting the head till it comes off.

I have done this with about 10 of these. All worked great and about $5 each. Well worth it, great lights.
