P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

[lite brite]

Thanks Dell!

Vinh can do one for about less than 50 & u can choose ur emitter type, tint & driver options.
I'm sure his quality of work will make up for the little extra that you pay for..

I'm looking for a high output single mode drop-in. The drop-in will be used in a 3-cell Elzetta host. Runtime is not important as I will be using momentary/Rotary tailcap switch. Voltage could be 5,5-12 volts. I would like solid brass or other good heat sink. As high out the front lumens as possible, more than 600 would be good. HDS throw/flood would be good, a little bit more throw than flood. Looking forward to ideas!

Interesting question - I wonder how the beampattern will look since the Elzetta head would block parts of the dropin reflector. In addition you will need some sort of lens. Nonethesless I too would be interested in an option other than the Malkoffs.

That is not a problem I think. I'm using a Malkoff M61 (219) now with a lens kit - works perfectly. My problem is the lack of out the front lumens. I want something that throws further and lights up more. A Don McLeish reflector can also work.

If I cannot get the above: Have anyone tried the SPORTAC P60 Nichia 219 CRI 92 1224 Lumen LED Drop-in (no reflector)?

Thank for all help!

Edit: would my best bet be a Malkoff M91A?

I'm looking for a neutral(?) d/i for a friend who is a combat medic: single mode 200lm or 2-mode low-low + some 200lm. Any ideas?

I'd check customlites.com (or order from the sales thread here ) for a Nichia 219 2mode with LOP reflector.

It might be a bit more than 200 lumens on hi and the 2 mode is just a regular Lo but I'm sure you could ask them (Nailbender/Dave) to remove a couple of resistors to drop the output a bit.

I have one of his 2mode 219s & it's been awesome!

Just wondering if someone can help clarify something for me.

Just for P60 drop ins like XM-L2 U2, it says voltage 2.7V - 9V. Does that mean it can run using batteries that have voltages anywhere in that range? What types of batteries are compatible with this drop in?

 

[Blitzwing]

Yes.

A single 18650, pair of CR123's, RCR123's or a pair of 18650's, generally.

Thanks blitzwing!
One more thing.
I was looking at a Solarforce drop-in
LC-XML T6 (3.7v) and it says not to use
CR123A (3v) or rechargeable batteries (3.0v or 3.7v).

Does this mean I can't use 18650s?

Does it change if I buy the drop in with the rating 3.7v - 8.4v?

Cheers

 

[Blitzwing]

The lower voltage dropins are suitable for one 18650 only.

If you run two CR123's the voltage is 3.0v x2 so 6v. Or two 18650 or rcr123's = 3.7v x2 so 7.4v.

If you might want to run two batteries, that being two cr123's or a pair of 18650's with an extender, get a dropin that can take the higher voltage.

I got a good tip from Jørn. He suggested the old Malkoff M90. Old drop in with Cree mc-e led. Flood tir optics around 500 lumen. Not very good throw though.

I'm looking for a high output single mode drop-in FOR MY SF G2 ..triple LED setup ..

 

[supra1988t]

Eagletac Sporttac triple. Comes in XPG2 or Nichia 219, single mode only.

 

[aussiebuddha]

I'm looking for a single and double battery XML2 dropin.
is there anything else out there?

Ideally, it should be able to be driven on 1xlifepo4 too, but i'm not too fussed.

any recommendations? anything from Kaidomain? DX? that is decent?

Thanks

Eagletac Sporttac triple. Comes in XPG2 or Nichia 219, single mode only.

Can that run long without heating up to much in a solarforce l2n or l2t head ?
Would love the tripple nichia i think, and wich model is recomended, they have a surefire and an 18650 model, last one is pretty straight in stead of tapered

 

[BuDn3kkID]

Like LanWolf, I'm interested in the EagleTac SportTac triple Nichia219 drop-in, but instead of using the SolarForce L2N or L2T, thinking of using it in the P1 instead. Anyone have any experience with this or know whether it's ok?
Thanks!

 

[LanWolf]

I think, due to the p1 not beeing bare metal on the outside, it will have more problems with heat, because normally, holding a light in your hand will lead the heat away.

I have an A001 head incoming, and if i buy the triple, i think i use the A001 (with a B6 bezel) for it.

 

[AMD64Blondie]

Will my Malkoff M61L run dimmer on 1 17670 than on 2 CR123A batteries?

 

[downlinx]

Would the Eagletac Sporttac triple be better ran off of one or multiple 18650 batteries?
