Time to head over to the Solarforce site! lol

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

Wow!!! Where did you see this info? This is awesome. They are actually making drop-ins designed from the ground to tightly fit Solarforce hosts? Man, Eagletac is always doing stuff under the radar and next thing you know, bam, you have something to spend more money on!

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

So who is selling these dropins?

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

Wow, they sell triples..

I can only find more info about this thread on the german flashlight forum. From what I saw there Eagletac has a lot of great new stuff coming for 2014. The thought of a tight-fitting triple Nichia that is driven well is exciting. I had a EDC+/IS triple Nichia. It was great but I wished they would have driven it harder. Time to sell some more stuff!

If this is what I think it is,,
the ball started rolling on it well over a year ago & I promised not to say a word about it.

Almost thought the project was scrapped...

Nice job keeping quiet about it. I actually like it that Eagletac seems to keep all of it's new projects under wraps until they have things worked out and ready for market. I have bought many Eagletac lights over the last year, all of which were new releases at the time. None of them have had any of the kind of beta problems that occur in some other manufacturer's lights. Also, as all of us have seen on various threads, you can't have a design by committee. Too many cooks in the kitchen, you know. This way they do what they want to do and we as consumers can decide with our wallets whether we like the design or not. Eagletac has been really good about guessing my desires in lights and keep getting my money as a result.

As a P60 junkie this has my attention!

Edit: It doesn't seem like a stretch that they'll start selling P60 Hosts also!

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

They look like single mode drop-ins. I wonder if they would work in a Malkoff MD2 with the High/Low ring.

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

at last a decent p60 drop in , mass produced with full world wide manufacturer back up. nice. i have never bought a custom or small company drop in, for money and warranty costs / complexity.

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

Unfortunately brass isn't very good at transfering heat. I'm curious what are lux/1m numbers for those drop-ins.

I'm really glad to see the P60 not die. I've been LEGOing the host for a few years. Where else could you run a 4amp XM-L2 in a 1-18350 format then move it all the way up to a 2-18650 or just change the dropins all together. If the price is good then this could breathe a few more quality options into the picture. Looks like Eagletac really put a good product idea into play. Really curious which sells the most Surefire or SolarForce host.

Word is, very competitive pricing == $40 ish {single emitter units wil be even less}

i don't understand the SPORTAC logo :fail:

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

One of the first factors considered in this project was throw, there were so few drop-ins that had any.
The ET owner is specialized in optical characteristics, so the reflector will likely be custom.

I'll go out on a limb and say the xm-l2 drop-in will be unlike anything yet made ,
and by listing LUX in a commercial drop-in is bold.
The triple will be a more floody sweeper, unless some real magic is done.

btw; I purposely overshot the price in my previous post, the triple may come in under $40
with the single mid $30s'

Re: Sportac™ P60 drop-ins ©2014 Eagtac LLC

If they are going to intend these for SolarForce hosts, then they should also make some decent tailcaps/switches that can go with them.

The SolarForce tailcaps/switches are absolute crap!
They need a forward clicky that isn't junk.

Here is another image for y'all.

that's with the triple optics
and it should read xp-g2 for the cool tint one.
