I'm assuming this is a P60 drop-in (?) If not, someone please correct me.

Also, I'm confused by their spec sheet - they refer to O-rings at the tailcap, etc. ... this is just the drop-in, isn't it? Does it have O-rings, too?

One last thing - it shows to be direct drive rather than regulated ... isn't it better to have a regulated circuit rather than output that dims as current draw falls off? Or am I misunderstanding this?

I'm looking for a bright-as-hell drop-in for my Ultrafire WF-501B to run off 2 RCR-123A's, and this looks good at a rated 400 lumens!

Yeah - P60 drop in ..

Way to go if you want to run 2xCR123A ..

One I built starts around 380/400Lumen cold , draws 1.5A @ 4.2v , I would say expect 300Lumen and anything more is a bonus .

It would be interesting to see what it does OTF....


With 1.5A it must be smoking:sick2:...Maybe a Fivemega hosts can help it deliver 300 OTF



The specs say Direct Drive? My XP-G R4 DD with a single AW 17670 was 2.8A at the tail in E1b bezel.

Well, I went ahead and ordered one. I have an Ultrafire 501B that's having a little indigestion anyway, so I'll drop this in and see what she'll do.

How was that KD XP-G? Worth getting or is there a better DX (or other) alternative in 3 mode?
