Yes, the WF-502B is definitely a P60.

Definetely and has a roomy head too that will fit maybe ANY module. (to heat dissipation expenxse). But all of the ones that passed through my hands had switch problems...

I just have received my gray Romisen RC-M4.
My newest (2 months) AW protected 18650's fits OK, but there is zero tolerance (like vacuum). No problem to put in and out the battery.
My older AW protected 18650's (about 18 months) fits also, but more tightly. You must softly push to put the cell in the tub, and a little shake the tub to pull the battery.
No problem for me.
I have also Trustfire protected 18650 cell (gray color).
It fits also, but you must push harder to put in, and to pull out, you must open the head and push with the finger tu pull out the cell.
The RC-M4 has a retaining ring holding the lens in place. I have tighten more this ring, in my case. This retaining ring is a good thing.
Various P60 type led assemblies fits in the head, with zero tolerance also (tight).
Standard led dropin delivered with the lamp is very weak (driver too weak, and cree P4 ? maybe).
I've putted in my 5-mode Cree Q4 WC from supertactical (operating at 3.0v --- 4.2v, thus one 17670/18650) and it's day and night compared to the standard module delivered with the RC-M4.
Before I use this dropin in my Surefire M2 with one 17670, and now I have the same dropin, but use it with 18650 cell (more runtime), and in a cheap and well build flashlight).
The only negative point I found is the grip on the body.
Not slippery, but it can be better (checkering will be good, like in my Romisen RC-F4).

I believe the Nextorch line of SF clones are also P60's. I don't own one but I saw them at the local gun shop the other day and took one apart. It looked like a p60/d26 reflector assembly.

Thoughts about DX sku.903 WF-501B
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.903
Has places for o-rings, yet no o-rings were shipped with the light. So not waterproof at all unless you get o-rings separately.
Very poor machining, bezel was stuck and didnt remove without tools + threads were in bad shape and not oiled -> Now I have very bad scratches in body due to use of tools to open bezel.
Cheap feeling clickie with no momentary option, if you get this light, make sure to buy these too: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5632
Probably 18650 will fit. Stock 9v lamp bright with 2x RCR123 3,6v
Dx sku .6090 is compatible.
I thought this was going to make a good p60 host but no way. I dont recommend this to anyone. Save some money and get a better host.
Now i'm still looking for a decent moderately priced p60 host, good ideas anyone? Preferably with momentary function and HAIII.

Santza is right about the UltraFire WF-501B Xenon. The SuperFire WF-501B used to be a very nice host with a threaded retaining ring holding the glass in place, more refined machining, and better finish. Now both UltraFire and SuperFire WF-501B models from DX and KD are junk. I recently ordered a few SuperFire WF-501C lights from KD, and they have the same quality as the older lights. Maybe this is new old stock. If you change out the one-mode R1 module from a SolarForce L2 light, the 3X16340 size of the WF-501C offers 80% increase in brightness.

the dx WF-501B do not take 18650 cells. the KD ultrafire WF-501B Benno does take protected 18650 trustfire cells. i use the kd ones as cheap hosts for old P60 modules. not get quality but better than leaving old modules in a draw.

Dereelight CL1H must be mentioned for a top P60 light.
Quality build, HA III coating, forward switch and great customer service.
If you want to go cheaper;
there is the Trustfire T1, its a knockoff of the Dereelight and Huntlight models.
You would have to buy a forward switch, Lumapower does have a forward switch that should fit.

i would go for the trustfire T1 but for one reason the clip. a m8 has one and i borrowed it for afew days and found the clip a pain.
next payday i plan to bite the bullet and order a CL1H only downside is the fee the royal mail in the UK charge to collect the import duty. last time it was for a SOG knife i ordered £8 ($16) fee to collect £0.57 ($1.14) in duty.

Just ordered a TrustFire TR-B1 from KD. Is this the only 1X16340 light on the list? Does anybody know if the lens on the TR-B series lights is glued like the TR-C1 or does it have a threaded (i.e., removable) retaining ring like the T1?

no...there is the WF-501A (or G30) available from QualityChinaGoods. But there are differences with the DX WF-501Bs. The head is larger in diameter (internally too).
My WF-501A from there came with a screw on lens retainer but too much tightening of the head will push the lens o-ring out....
good luck, Kostas

Surely someone makes a AA powered P60 host?
