Broken flash light

wcp4570 · Mar 7, 2013

Hello everyone
New member here with a broken flashlight. I found this forum by accident and have been reading about all the mods that are being done so I got my old light back out to see if anyone might give me some recommendation on a mod. I have no experience in this area so I may ask some off the wall questions.

What I have is a Surefire A43095 weapon light. I've tried to find information on the light but have not been successful in finding even a replacement bulb. I got it at a good price because the bulb was broken but everything else looked good when I took it apart, it had two 123a batteries installed. I would like to make this flashlight an LED light if that is possible. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Since there's practically no info out there about this light, a picture of the light disassembled would tell us more than a million words.

Thanks for the reply. I had to move my pictures over to Picasa so I could link them here. If the picture of the light all apart is not close enough or more detail is need I can take more pictures.

Well that didn't work. Here is another try.

From what I can see in the pictures it's a P60 host, at least by the looks of the reflector and the bulb part, so a replacement should be a really easy job. All you need is a P60 drop-in module and you're good to go.

I did a search for the P60 drop-in and found Cree R5 Single mode unit that someone posted a picture of my exact light. I will be buying one of these soon. Never thought about finding a drop-in upgrade, thought I would have to build something. Thanks for the suggestion.
