* P60 Flashlight List {host}

[kosPap]

Is there some reason the Cree version of these lights won't work?

huh??? do you mean work as P60 hosts.

If yes the DO! And mighty BETTER too. My huntlight scores 5-10% more light measured to any flashlights Surefires included!

[Zatoichi]

Does anyone know if it'd fit any of the Nextorch models, more specifically the Z3 and Z6? Cheers.

Looking at their site, it looks like they could have many P60 lights.

Thanks for the input, a new brand for the list....

That's great. I have the two I mentioned, and they're nice quality. I'm a total noob when it comes to what will fit in what, but if it helps, the (incandescent) bulb assembly for the Nextorch T6 and Z6 also fits the Surefire G2.

This brand seem sadly overlooked. They seem to cost a bit more than other cheap Chinese brands, but I think this is reflected in the quality. I hope they find a place, if just as a host. I'll give it a go myself if anyone can confirm it'll work.

DX has now added an Ultrafire L2 model to their site.

This looks to be a Solarforce/Spiderfire L2 clone.

I really hate all the non P60 info going on in posts like this.

I wish all the banter and discussion could be deleted (eventually) to come up with a clean list.

Perhaps some sort of form with lines that a poster could paste and then fill in so it didn't all look the same, as in people who don't know how to form paragraphs and such.

Some mod stick up a from with lines that can be copied and pasted and filled in to make actual info easier to see please.

My grocery list would be pretty damn confusing if it read..

MILK
EGGS
are those the brown eggs or the white eggs?
white eggs
large medium or small?
BREAD
small
but you know that there is more egg in the XL right
but they cost more
BUTTER
I think the brown taste better
RICE
fine, brown
ok, what size?
PEANUT BUTTER

A list should be a list.
Not a debate over what is on the list.

Crap, now I've added my own non P60 stuff....

From one who writes, in separate lines, of "people who don't know how to form paragraphs and such", I'd like some clarification on "Some mod stick up a from"......
Unless this is a form of flashlight jargon that I haven't come across before (certainly possible, I haven't been here long), I don't think it means anything.

I found out that there are two versions of the UF 501B. The one DX sells with the R2 dropin is of high quality nearly as nice as the Romisen. The $9 501B that comes with xenon has very poor quality fit and finish, most P60 led dropins won't fit it either.

[kosPap]

indeed..you just caught me ready to make an addition to my post that compares the 2.

Surefire Xenon modules cannot fit because the outer ring of the large spring is too narrow for the 501B tube (any version). You can compare pics to teh xenons to see what I mean. But i works the other way around, the chinese xenon modules work fine in SFs....

BTW1, the Kaidomain Xenon version is the ebst of the bunch...

BTW2 glenda17 last time I forgot to ask you about the lenss reaiting ring....what type it is? see here

TNX, kostas

[kosPap]

well I prepared this for a friend that is trying to decide what to get so here is a P60 host guide:



Indeed the Ultrafire/Superfire C1 does accept one cell extensions!

ETA: Damn! I forgot to add a column on switch types. Well Surefire has a momentary/twist, fenix a forward clickie, and solarforce an aftermarket momentary/reverse clickie combo. The rest are reve4rse-clickies....
Aslo, Modes for fenix are 2 actually....seems I will have to take the table back home for overhaul !!!
Any more info on the spiderfire?

And here is a life-size pic of the flashlights:



Solarforce/Ultrafire L2 and Fenix are photoshoped in, and within 1% of actuall dimensions (Fenix Tk11 was added for my friend)

Enjoy, Kostas

Kostas, thanks for all the great input to the P60 host thread!
You get a huge....

[kosPap]

hey hey my post above is now updated with more info...

Any members input on the spidefire is wellcome, plus I need a reliable input if you can run 3xCR123 with a 8.4V max driver (I run mine OK) and 3xRCR123 with 12V max driver..

enjoy, Kostas

[Monkeyboab]

Is there any single cell Cr123 lights that are P6o hosts?

Rob

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

If you are into leggo....

The Ultrafire 505B can be turned into a sweet little light! I have the guts from a Dereelight 3SD Q5 in good contact with the body with the reflector of the 505 just hitting the sweet spot with the head tight.

I have the replacement forward click from a Lumapower M1 XRE in the light as well.

It's even nicer next to my wallet than the already fairly small and compact 502B.

If the stars all line up I'll post a pic of the size difference and beam quality.

[Monkeyboab]

Thanks that would be good.

Does anyone remember the fake "Geniune Surefire M2 body" sold at DX?

I found it at Volumerate.com!!! (hope it is not too late)

Genuine Surefire M2 Centurion HA-III LED Flashlight with 235LM Cree Q5-WC Module (1*18650/2*CR123A)

$60.00





They incrased the price from $52 to $60. It looks pretty geniune except by few details, only noticeable if inspected carefully... but a Surefire copycat body that takes 18650 and P60, and even having serial number? Just ordered one. =) Drop a high power R2 module in it and will be perfect.

[M@elstrom]

Just to toss a rank (please excuse the pun) outsider into the P60 host mix... I figured I'd go ahead & introduce this cheap Chinese 14LED 3AAA host resplendid with genuine plastic lens! additionally it shares the same threading for the bezel as a SF 6P (not that you'd want too)





This particular unit (see light on right) fits my Wolfeyes dropin nicely once the outer spring is removed, and seeing as the module is regulated it can't hurt the AAA's runtime any though I'd be better off fitting in an AW 18500 Li-Ion eh?

go back some pages in this thread and ream a post of mine on the WF-501B..

That looks like a good find! Interesting you should say this used to be at DX. FireFox shows the DX logo on the VolumeRate tab so I suspect this is two arms of the same organization.

It is also interesting that VolumeRate does not link directly to that light; each person has to search for it even though you posted the exact URL the VolumeRate search gives.

Let us know how this light looks when you get it. It looks like a wonderful deal if the light is built well enough, but I cannot afford to gamble $60 on an unknown light from a web site that either is maintained by amateurs or is playing tricks on us.

VolumeRate = wholesale, DX = retail.

[CampingLED]

Remember the day it was listed on DX. Same day there were hot discussions on CPF and DX forums. The next day the DX link on that SKU took you to one of their general links. Searched for them a day later and all was gone. Could not find the CPF reference either. Either my seach capability is not good or .......?

Some people (mostly geniune M2 owners) reported the item as counterfeit and DX removed it whitin 1 day. There were nice amount of threads discussing it here at CPF and i dont think anyone actually have got his shipped... Volumerate can still sell retail but the minimun shipping cost is $22.

DX and VR uses the same SKU numbers, but this M2 body seems to be permanently removed from DX.

but I cannot afford to gamble $60 on an unknown light from a web site that either is maintained by amateurs or is playing tricks on us.

I've bought several times from VR, shipping took like 5 weeks but items arrived as described (I live in Panama and buying online isnt easy). You can find more info at resellerratings.com.

[Yoda4561]

Wow, that's really too bad if it fits an 18650, I stumbled into this thread looking for such a thing (18650 surefire body with HA finish and a clip). The counterfeit logos are a big turnoff though

[mrQQ]

BTW1, the Kaidomain Xenon version is the ebst of the bunch...

is it true? I need to buy quite a few (3+) hosts (B battery type..), and need cheapest good quality host I can find. Currently best I have is the one I bought with UV drop in from DX.. are KDs better?

thanks!

[gswitter]

Another addition...

The Leupold MX-100 bezel will accept Surefire P60, P61 and P60L lamps (I haven't tried a P90 or P91). The Leupold bezel is not compatible with Surefire C-series bodies. Unlike most P60-compatible bezels, you insert the lamp through the front of the Leupold bezel (by removing the bezel ring). LF lamps will fit and operate, but the bezel ring isn't able screw down all the way, and I wouldn't trust it to get wet. None of the aftermarket LED drop-ins I've tried (early Malkoff P60, M60, Wolf Eyes, and various DX/KD) will fit.

The 6v Leupold-branded incandescent lamp looks like a cheap P60 knock-off, the output appears to be slightly less than a P60, and the beam is pretty ugly.

2- and 3-cell bodies are available in the Leupold MX series. The ID is large enough to accomodate AW 17mm cells with labels, but not 18mm cells. The tail cap is a forward, momentary clicky with lockout, and it has Surefire C-series threads. I've managed to get most Surefire and compatible tail caps and extensions to work with the Leupold body (including a Z41 w/2-stage switch from the Shoppe), but there were occasional contact issues to work around.

Sorry for the late reply....

You know there is one version in DX (the one with the R2 drop-in that I had not the chance to examine) A forum meber told me that is close to the Romisen Version.

Now the c=xritical factor is how the lens is retained...(look at my post). For me the screw version is preferable...You can check with "glenda17" on this.

I would urge you to reconsider costs. If you are to buy a Xenon version and add a module it is not that cheap (unless you already use a 9V Xenon bulb in other flashlights like I do)...

So yiu might as well go with the DX R2 version...

[EngrPaul]

huh??? do you mean work as P60 hosts.

If yes the DO! And mighty BETTER too. My huntlight scores 5-10% more light measured to any flashlights Surefires included!

Thank you. I ordered the DX neutral P60 drop-in, and put it in today. and it was a very nice upgrade to my P4 Huntlight FT01. Brighter for sure, better color of course. I lost multiple modes, but no biggie.

[kosPap]

well glad I was of help....

can you also confirm that Huntlight outputs higher than other flashlights?

Thing is, I already have the modules.. I just need the hosts for them..

[kosPap]

then you are good...epsecially if you have 2xRCR123 for the xenons

[mrQQ]

good with which host?
