Leds for petzl zooms

Just wondered if anyone has used the mes 100 lumen type and if they're any good, does anyone recommend/condemn them ?
A few people I know have these old lamps kicking about and with the AA converters and a single led fitted, they could make good back up, digging or up in the attic lamps.
The big question is, are the leds any good ?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks les, I can't get onto their site tonight for some reason, I'd looked at them before and that gave us the idea, I looked at one  on torch shop earlier, think they were a tenner a piece but I'll try the customduo again. Maybe something on flea bay too
Cheers.

I've used them for club lights. They have one setting and work for about 8 hours with good quality, recently charged AAs. The light looks like approximately 100lms. No problems as of yet after about a year of use.

Thanks . I think I'll give one a go. Should make good second lamps. Got a few AA converter packs from component shop so should be able to sort them quite easily.
Cheers.
