Need light/body for 18650 + P60 drop in ..cheap

[marinemaster]

I know the Leefbody but I am not going to pay for that. $65 too much just for the body. Looking to see if you guys now what body can I use from either dealxtreme or kaidomain a cheap light around $25 or so i can use 18650 PROTECTED and BE ABLE to do P60 drop in LED. I already spent $100 on a 18650 charger and 4 protected 18650. Not looking to push this to $170 or so. With that much money I could have got 100 maybe even more 123 batteries and get a cheap P60 Cree drop in for my Surefire 6P. You see my point of view. I am sure some of you have come across this before...

Besides looks like the newer CREE ( better ones from Bugout) modules looks like they run optimally from a 4.5V and up so it makes it even more frustating.

Appreciated

DX and KD (DealExtreme, KaiDomain) have a number of lights that should work for you. Here's one of the cheapest ones, it still looks like a decent light - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5925 and 1 review - http://www.light-reviews.com/tr-c2/review.html The review mentions that he has noticed a slight flicker in the low and medium modes, though you could always put in another drop-in if it's an issue with your light. DX also sells the light as a single mode light. This is just one example, I'm sure that several other of the 18650 lights on DX and KD also use a drop-in.

Yes, the TR-C2 single mode is probably one of the cheapest ones that come with a P60 drop-in.

or just change the board in sku#7463 and trim to fit the pill in it with the sku#7879, i have done it in several of my lights including the mag 2D and the results are satisfying.
