Is this a reputable brand? I don't want some crap falling apart after I get it.

I doubt you will get anyone recommending "crap" around here. :poke:

FWIW I own several JetBeam flashlights (see my signature for my current list of lights) and I have no problems at all with them. If I did not have other lights already on my wish list for 2009 I would probably get a JetBeam Jet-III Military with the Q3-5A warm tint emitter myself... ;)
 
So is the Malkoff drop in bulbs alot like the Cree bulbs?

Ummm, they are not "bulbs". They are LEDs. ;)

Second, I believe (though I am not 100% certain since I do not own a Malkoff drop-in LED module myself) the Malkoff Devices drop in LED modules use Cree LEDs. Cree manufacturers the LEDs, Malkoff Devices use the LEDs to create a drop in LED module.

Alright, Thanks for the clarification. I am not sure if I asked this before but how can you tell the difference in appearance to a LED and INCAN just by looking at the exterior and not turning it on.

Also if anyone has any thoughts on the Solorforce 6P knock off. Its only like 30 bux or so I was wondering if I should pick one up. They look neat. :cool:

You probably know how a typical incandescent bulb looks like. Here is a link to how a Cree LED emitter (from an Ultrafire) looks like up close:

A LED looks quite different from an incandescent bulb. :)

Well the reason I ask is because I would like to know how to tell the difference between a Surefire G2 LED and G2 INCAN. Just off hand that is. Without turning them on. They look the same to me. Maybe I am missing something here.

LED's in high power lights are little (usually square) chips, and don't look like any kind of bulb really. The low powered 3mm and 5mm ones are a bit harder to distinguish from some incandescents.

I have a couple of Solarforce L2's, and they are pretty good. Mine both have the Solarforce single stage R2 modules, which are also pretty good. I'm not a fan of cheapo stuff, but if you want a cheap P60 host you can't go far wrong with these.
