LED for Surefire 6P

Where can i get some good LED conversion or drop-ins for the 6P body?
Anyway to get the KL series of heads to fit on a 6P?

The KL3 or KL5 would work great with the 6P.

Thanks bro,

What are the +/- points of the KL3 vs KL5?

Depending on your needs, the Lux III has less overall output, but about 25% more throw.

The Lux V has less throw but 30% more output.

If you are gonna get a Surefire KL3 or KL5, the price of one KL5 unit will be able to buy both the G&P & BOG. :lolsign:

What ericg533 said.

I bought a KL3 from Steven at tacticalsupply.com. (Be sure to use the CPF 20 code for 20% off) The color (black) matches the 6P body. It's an underdriven 3W lux behind a ringed TIR lens, which gives it impressive throw and 4+ hour runtime at full brightness.

I have both the G&P 3W unit and the KL-3. Differences:

G&P: Floodier & generally more output. Bluer tint than KL-3 (my units, anyway). Smaller form factor as it fits within the stock 6P bezel.

KL-3: Less spill and way greater throw. Tight beam due to optics. Better tint. However, it makes for a bigger light. You gain about 5/8" in overall length, 1/4" greater diameter around the bezel.

I've got them side by side, and the difference is noticeable. I'm too jetlagged right now to take pictures, but may do so later. Both run well on RCR123 since they can take 2-3 CR123s. I'd guess the G&P gets about an hour on RCRs while I know the KL-3 gets 2 hours.

Also note that the KL3 offers you full regulation: constant max output for the life of the batteries then drops off pretty suddenly...

Whereas the G&P is semi-regulated: constantly dimming until the cells run dry...

Good point, had forgotten about that since I use the KL-3 much more than the G&P. Can't get over the tint on mine...

Another plus for KL3 is you can add a Surefire A19 extension tube to 6P for longer runtime. The KL3 is regulated for 6-9 volts.

Would the KL3 provide enough throw and output for a weapon light on a shotgun? It should be rugged enough and more reliable in this use than the P60/P61.

Throw and output would be fine using it on a shotgun. All of the output is in that fairly tight beam.
