I have a new Surefire M2 on the way. What is the best Cree drop-in for the light. I want one that lets the bezel screw all the way down, and I want it to be regulated.
 
Wow, I was just going to post a new thread asking this same question. There seems to be so many options and a wide variance of prices. I'd like something that I can depend on and that will fit properly.
 
Will the Dealextreme 1.25 Watt Cree drop in work in a M2?
 
The XR-E Cree's are the brightest drop-ins out there now.

I am using one of the new Wolf Eyes D26 XR-E Cree's in my 6P. The bezel screws all the way down and it fits well. Much brighter than a P60 bulb with twice the runtime.
 
Does anybody have one of the Cree drop-ins from BugOutGearUSA.com. I remember that is where everybody got those original 1 and 3 watt drop-ins a couple of years back. They seem to be built pretty well.
 
i just got the one from litemania and it is awesome!

I believe it is LiteMania who sells cree dropins, not Arc Mania.
I should be receiving my Cree dropin form DX any day now. I'm personally waiting for Litemania to release a SSC P4 dropin that he hinted at a month or two back. :D I'd be appy to report my experience with teh DX dropin when I get my hands on it.
 
I'd like to wait and see more of these LED drop-ins for the SureFire.M2 and its variants. Right now I'm running a non-LED LF.EO-6 in my SF.M2, so I would like to compare these two myself when the SSC.P4 debuts.

Enjoy!
 
What I can gather are X-alpha(6 mode), solatex, LiteMania, Wolfeyes D26, G&P can be bought right here in the dealer section but unfortunately either they are out of stock, won't fit properly, need to minor modify, various running voltages or pre order.
 
Will the Dealextreme 1.25 Watt Cree drop in fit in a M2 head?
 
I ordered some from DX and from PTS to see how they work in my M2.
 
I would like to order one from either Lighthound.com or BugOutGearUSA.com because I trust both of those websites, but I would like to see a review before I bought one.
 
xHERO, pls give us an update on the Dealextreme 1.25 Watt Cree drop in in your SF M2.
 
Bezel not screwing down all the way with Cree drop-ins should not be an issue in the M2 because of its shock absorbing system that will compress a little more to accomodate the extra length.

I tried the original Litemania drop-in in the M2 and it fit fine with no gap.
