6PD to led ?

[Stony]

Just bought a SF 6PD and was wondering what would be a good led drop in for it, looking to get around 200 or so lumen and good run time maybe 3 or so hours. Also how are SF holsters the fixed loop nylon I think. Any ideas would be grately appreciated.

Hmmm...3+ hours at 200+ lumens in a 2x123 host will be tough to come by. Arguably, the highest quality, best performing P60 drop-ins are the M60 series made by Gene Malkoff.

Using 2x123 primaries, the original M60 will produce ~230 lumens with a regulated runtime of 1.5+ hours. The "low output" M60L will produce ~140 lumens with a regulated runtime of 4.5+ hours. I have both, and they are fantastic. There are other M60 variants as well.

The M60 line is a bit pricier than some of the alternatives, but in this case it is definitely true that you get what you pay for. These babies are worth every penny IMO.

Be sure to check out the P60 sticky:

I tried doing the whole 6P/D to LED conversion. You'll end up spending way too much for mediocre performance.

Just keep it simple get any of the similar sized lights from Fenix EagleTac or Olight. More output, better regulation and heat sinking.
