Hello

I've been reading about the various LED drop-ins you can buy, but wondered which one would be the best to buy for my 6p and where to purchase?

Did you check the sticky on P60 drop-ins at the top of the page? A good place to start and formulate specific questions...

Supertactical.com looks better than WE for me. But I think I got a dud WE honestly. Tell supertactical about CPF membership and see what happens!:D Q4 WB 1 stage running on 1 17650. 15 Bucks!

I agree with the above about Malkoff, however since it's so hard to get to it in time before sellout, I went with the much cheaper option that I could get NOW.
The 1 time I got there in time to really buy one, and didn't have the money.

I heard the Bugout Gear Q5 is brighter, if not as bright as the Malkoff.

I have the BOG Q5 and it is WAY brighter than my L5 or U2. I do not have a Malkoff for comparison. Bought another BOG last night.

Malkoffs do pop up for sale in the Marketplace every so often. In fact, a little bird told me that someone is going to post one (a Q2 version) later tonight...

The DX 1343 Cree Module is a great drop-in to start with, IMO. Fully regulated even with a 3.7V lithium rechargable cell, around 80 lumens out the front, nearly 3 hours of runtime, and only costs $9.87.

I'm figuring all the drop in's are going to be close in output. I'm looking for durability as I want mine to be used as a weapon light.
I have the host bodies, just need a well built durable unit that can handle heavy recoil.
