Hey guys, I am new to the forum, and have been doing a little reading. I have a SF Z2 that I would like to change over to LED, and I am trying to choose the best option. I do not use the light that much now, I have several Fenix lights and a few other LED's, but I have the rally nice Z2 that I just can't stand not to use from time to time, so I want to change it to LED. I want to get the best bang for my buck, but don't want to spend too much, since I have other good lights. I was leaning towards the P60L as it seems to be the least expensive "good" option. I tried a $10 drop in from Deal Extreme, and it works OK, but sometimes it jus won't come on and I have to loosen or tighten the bezel to get it to work. Should I just spring for the M60, or get the P60L? I don't need the brightest option, I want a mix between good bright light and good run times. Thanks

An M60LL with the same output as that P60L but between four and eight times the runtime at full blast is $39 right now. So is the M60LF; brighter, but broader.

Hello,
+1 for the M60LL Malkoff, or otherwise, I would just take the Surefire P60L module. Output is about the same between the two modules.
M60LL has more throw than the P60L, the P60L with it's texturised reflector is a lot floodier, so it may also depend on your taste when it comes to "beam-characteristics".
FWIW: the P60L module weights less and you won't have the "Malkoff-gap" between the head and the battery tube. The P60L module will also fit in different Surefire Battery holders, designed for P60-P90 modules.
Keep well,

Any Malkoff. Choose by runtime and output.

I just put an M61 in my Z2!!! Great drop-in at a great price. Only problem is they are hard to come by right now!!! You can never go wring with a Malkoff, beams are perfect!!!

Malkoff M61. They are a little scarce right now but when you get your hands on one you will NOT be disappointed.
