* P60 Flashlight List {host}

[Black Rose]

I've got a pair of Solarforce L2s and a pair of SpiderFire X-03 lights.

I'm now considering getting a Seraph P60 host from Lumens Factory.

I just noticed Gene Malkoffs MD2 was not on the list,...what the :ohgeez:was I thinking.

Surprised no one else didn't spot that either.

Malkoff MD2 & 4 on the list!

 

[flatline]

It is my understanding that the MD2 is made specifically for the M30 and M60 family of drop-ins. I don't think it will accept the typical P60 drop-in. If you add it to your list, you'd better put a caveat with it explaining this.

Unless I'm wrong, of course.

Mr flatline,..if you look under Malkoff on the list,
you see the thing written between the two {..;)..} marks

I saw that, but saying that something is specifically designed for certain dropins isn't the same as saying that it will only work with said dropins (which is my current understanding of the MD2).

Perhaps this says something about my reading comprehension skills (or lack thereof), but it seems like the MD2 might merit a clearer explanation of its P60 compatibility.

Not throwing stones, just making a suggestion in the spirit of clearer communication.

Thanks for the list, by the way. It's made my initial research into the world of P60 dropins far more productive.

hi guys, great thread!:)

I am in search of a single rcr123 or cr123 host to use primaries/recharables.

so far i am only aware of l2m, are there others?

being water resistant is a huge plus for me

i found a Spiderfire L2-S Xenon , it seems to be a p60 host, but i don't know for sure...can someone confirm?

 

[Black Rose]

As you've seen, there is also the Spiderfire L2-S (really an X-03S) , which is similar to the L2M.

Yes, it is also a P60 host.

My main gripe with Spiderfire P60 hosts is that the rubber boot on the tailcap is not a common size.

ya, but as long as we can buy the rubber boot down the line, it should be fine.

how is quality? does it feel ok? are threads good?

thanx:)

That's the problem....I haven't been able to find any replacement boots....GITD or black.

Here is my comparison of the Solarforce L2 vs the Spiderfire X-03.
I've been updating it over time to clarify some things as I use them more.

Quality-wise they not as good as Solarforce, but probably better than something like the Ultrafire WF-501B.

The threads were good (but unlubed) and it feels fine to hold.

If you gym regularly the Aurora SH290 is an option. Nice light, but it has three very important possible improvement areas:
1) Weight (very very heavy)
2) Gap between P60 drop-in and body much too big (1.2mm in diameter)
3) Could do with more threads at tailcap (only one full turn from loose to tight)

The reflector is almost SMO and therefore has terrible Cree rings (mine was swapped with another spare reflector with a major improvement).

The Kai Domain Tough looks similar to the Deerelight CL1H has anyone ordered it or has any experience with the host.

It appears that there are two version on the site and one shows the P60 module and the other does not.

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

Looks like a backwards engineered RIP OFF of CL1H!!!

If that's your style though go for it.

So what you are saying is, no you have never purchased it nor have any experience with it!

indeed... but the CL1H has a remarkable similarity to the Huntlight FT-01 which looks like an Ultrafire WF-502B....

you can never be sure with the chinese manufacturers

the first ones were Luxeon III !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

You are correct in that I've never held one. I have an actual CL1H V3 myself.

kostas,
just a couple weeks ago, I gave my Dad an original HuntLight FT-01PJ for his birthday.
Simple rechargeable battery setup ect..

This was a light I didn't want to part with.
In mint condition, with a decent starter drop-in, (more to follow)
...I told him this light was bit of a collectors piece, he didn't totally understand.:cool:

 

[kosPap]

indeed...he can;t....would you believe I have also put my huntlight back in action? It runs a blinking P60 5mm module...

And if you have seen older posts of mine...with the same batts and drop-in it outputs 5+% MORE than surefires and about 20% more than the Wf-501s
