I have had my 6P fora six years. In that time I haved loved the light and used it a lot. However, it has killed two tailcaps in that time, the second having just died tonight. I am thinking I would like to purchase an aftermarket tailcap, possibly two stage with click on/off if possible. I'd pay up to about $60 for such a cap if there is one to fit a 6P Classic. Thanks in advance for any help you all can give.

Lawboy,
I have used the sandwich shoppe MsC2S 2 stage F C-series DIY guts for modding the 6p/C/M light tailcap into 2 stages, and it is definitely a decent mod for anyone who wants to have 2 stage momentary switch.
However, it will not acheive the task by clicking on/high-off-on/low-off. One could get the two stages by either twisting the tailcap or momentarily pressing the switch all the way in.(like the L2 tailcap).
Good luck with your mod!

The clickie for the 6P is the Z59, no 2-stage, but a useful improvement (purely for the P-series enthusiasts, because money-wise you may as well purchase the skinnier E2e, clickie is now standard).
Two-stage tailcaps are more in the realm of LED lights,
incandescents like to see the voltage they are designed for.
There is a 3W LED drop-in that Emilion sells, with a tiny internal switch for 1 or 3 W, but it is less powerful than a P60 globe.
