Need a little help from the flashaholics!

Need a little help.

My local brick and mortar told me today they just got in a different LED bulb that can be used for my SF nitrolen G2. Supposedly it has about 85 lume and will run for about 11 hours on my nitrolen G2. I can't find this upgrade bulb on SF's site. Can you help me out? What's it actually called? My brick and mortar wants $40 for it but I'm sure I can find it on-line cheaper if I just knew what to look for.
Sorry if this has been asked, but I don't know what to search for since I don't know what it's called.

Thanks everyone!

Sounds like the SureFire P60L module.

Check the sticky at the top of the main page, there is large thread about P60 drop in options:

Always glad to help if I can!:thumbsup:

buy it from the brick and mortar.
you'll be helping your local economy and can even start to build a relationship with a local vendor.
for a buck a local return policy if there is a problem is a nice option.

Thanks everyone!

By the way, this is a big fat misleading statement. It only starts out bright. It won't be anywhere near 85 lumens after 10 hours.

Not worth it to buy then? :thinking:

It is a good dropin to use for reliability and for the G2 which has no heatsinking.

I just want to be sure you're not expecting 85 lumens after the first 10 minutes. And after 10 hours you're looking at not much light at all.

The other dropins that can be found here on CPF have their pros and cons as well. But with the G2 and an LED you have a major heat issue. The LEDs don't like to be hot, and the G2 has nothing very thermally conductive to move heat away. The G2's you buy now from surefire with this LED installed have aluminum bezels. This is probably the best dropin for the G2 because it is designed to deal with the heat, whereas 90% of the others are built with an aluminum bodied light in mind.

Not all of these units behave the same way. My P60 doesn't reach the same hi tempatures as the unit on that test page.
If you are worried about heat get a malkoff drop in and toss it into a 6P and you will have nothing to worry about.
Oh and it puts out way more than 85 lumen and the hotspot is just about as perfect as you get with an optic.
