UltraFire SST-50 P60 Drop In

[recDNA]

Has anybody got one of these drop ins? I saw the ad over at batteryjunction. I'm curious if they're any good?

http://www.batteryjunction.com/sst-led-upgrade-p60.html

Use only with 18650 or 17670 protected rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Please verify that battery fits host light. Due to the larger dimensions, 18650's MAY NOT FIT ALL LIGHTS.

This unit gets warm fast - we'd recommend being cautious using extended maximum output runs in a plastic bodied light.

Features:

• 550 Emitter Lumens (about 450 OTF - tested)
• 3.7-4.2V input voltage
• Luminus SST-50 LED
• Outer spring is removable for some fitments
• Alumium textured/OP and Smooth reflectors included - thermally conductive bronze heatsink base
• Bezel diameter: 26.5mm
• Copper base diameter: 19mm
• Height including support spring: 36.7mm
• Height excluding support spring: 28.8mm

I'm also interested in any feedback from any users of this drop-in. I'm awaiting arrival of my Nailbender SST-50 drop-in to stick in my Solarforce L2P, but I may buy one of these to try as well. I found this thread on MTBR that talks a bit about this drop in. http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=578925

Any suggestions as to a quality 18650, 6P body I could attach the head and tail to?

Hmm. Review is very positive but later down someone mentions MC-E outthrows it. That's not a good sign. If you do buy it it would be great to see beam shots of the Ultrafire next to the Nailnbender.

Whats the point in getting an UltraFire SST-50 for $60 when you can get a NailBender SST-50 for $65?

Easier and quicker to buy from a website when you don't use PayPal.

Yes, PayPal would sure make things easier for you and increase your purchase options when it comes to lights on CPF.
