I was looking at getting the SF 618LFG which uses the P60L and was wondering if there is a red LED drop-in for it so that I can use it hog hunting at night.
P60L Red LED Drop-In Single Mode?

I saw that one but was wondering if there was a single mode or will it not matter in the P60L?

The P60L is the module which you are replacing...

But I'm wondering what affect the 5 modes would have on the light. I dont wanna turn on the light and it be flashing SOS or be in strobe light mode or something like that.
I had the DX red dropin, (I sold to a CPFer who desperately needed one for Halloween), it's a RED red that makes a regular light with a filter on it look awful.
As far as the mode switching, if you have a clicky you shouldn't have a problem with it jumping past the mode you want. If you want to turn it of and on a lot you might have to cycle past the strobes. It has mode memory which you may or may not like.
You could always swap the driver for a single mode, just a couple connections.
It was a cool enough oddity that I'll be ordering another to let the kids play with next Halloween. I may even build the emitter in to a dedicated flashlight like an Akoray 109.
The red will blow you away. The modes, not so much.

I just got back from hog hunting. Try this:

Could you link me to the driver I would need along with explaining step by step on the process of swapping them out so that I dont mess up anything? I have done a lot of soldering on electronics but mostly doing kits and have yet to do any mods for flashlights. How hard is it to swap the drivers on that R2?

Is there a thread on here that shows me what I would be replacing in order to make it a single mode?
