Are they still in stock? Every time I look for them I thought fivemega stopped. Where can I buy them?

I have a 3XAA five mega host that I run a malkoff m60LL in. Run time is crazy.

Yes, in fact most non-Malkoff P60 will be too large to fit into a VME bezel.
You can, of course, use an E2C adapter and a Z44 bezel instead for that situation.

Oveready sells AA delrin battery sleves for 17mm and 18mm bodies so that you can use AA batteries in them. Then you can use any 3xCR123 host. I have a SureFire G3 set up with a Malkoff M31NL and 2xAA cells in a sleve.

Ye ole Rayovac AA indestructable with a SolarForce head will allow bright LED's to be used with decent disipation. The supplied rubber covered head takes P60's just fine but traps heat so something hotter than 150 lumens or so may cook itself over time.
I haven't found an alternative tailcap to it yet... it's the wide threads.

Those can take solarforce heads? I've heard people talk about them but all the threads that have pictures don't show anymore. Do you have any pics?

Life moves on. Now that you can get decent budget lights from Convoy and Thorfire for $15, there is less demand for more expensive P60 drop ins and hosts. P60 still has some life, but more for niche markets.
What can I say, I'm old school and the p60 is my favorite format. I love it's legobility!!

I also like the p60 format but mostly for incans. With led the heat sinking is an issue. I wrap mine tightly in copper but it's wedged in there so tight it might as well be permanent. That being said thermal problems aren't a problem for a 2xAA host. Besides the crummy tint I have a solar force drop in that will work from one nimh to one lithium cell. Wish solar force still made their 2xAA host

It's the rayovac indestructible 2aa. It comes in a bunch of sizes.
