Surefire 3P

[kelmo]

Hello fellow photon fiends!

I was visiting my cousin and he knows I like Surefire flashights and he literally came across a SF 3P! He found it on a walk. It has a little wear but has not been dropped. 8.5/10 condition with the original R30 lamp assembly (LA)! I will now be on the lookout for a R30 LA. I'll also be on the lookout for a N62 LA.

Cool, if you want a cheap lumen fix you can get a 3.7v lamp from kai. com for about $4 . might be nice just to keep it stock, you still see 3v lamps on ebay....

With an imr 16340 that lamp will make that a nice little rocket. I know it's very bright on an 18650. I prefer it over a LF EO4

R30's are scarce. Good luck sourcing those. Worth it if you can find some.
Otherwise Lumens Factory can hook you up.

Malkoff LLLL's work nice in the 3P. Even LL's.

The malkoff M31W is also really nice if you want an LED option, and it's pretty bright too.

Thanks for the info everybody!

I will keep it an incan. I forgot Lumens factory makes hotwires.

First one guy finds a near mint Z2 in a rubbish bin, and now your cousin stumbles across a *3P* while on a walk?

Oh, the envy is real.

More custom made 3P 18350 bodies are available and will run much longer and brighter than primary CR123A when using rechargeable 18350 cells.
BTW, these will work for lamps which are designed for primaries such as P60 (2 cells), P90 (3 cells) and....
Rechargeable flashlight means more usage without hesitation.
