m60 dropin in t.o.p. LX6AK2 incan

Hi sorry if this is a noob question but would a malkoff m60,m60L,m60LL fit in my t.o.p. stryker LX6AK2 incan.I like the light it has good output and reliability for the price but the runtime is not what I would prefer and the lamp life is only 20 hours.So I was just wondering if the Malkoff dropins would work.It is an aluminum body runs on two 123 batteries.Thanks for any advice you can give.

Re: m60 dropin in t.o.p. stryker LX6AK2 incan

My understanding is the DX style drop ins do not fit in the TOP lights. Not certain about the Malkoff though.

Does it look similar to this or different?

Can you post a picture of the lamp module?

Measure across the front and the length of the lamp module?

Re: m60 dropin in t.o.p. stryker LX6AK2 incan

sorry no picture right now but it is similar looking to the one above yet not exactly it also looks very similar to a p60 from surefire.In height it measures about 1.5inches from tip to end of springs and in width at the very front is 1 1/32 inches.I'll try to take a picture later on today and post it.

Re: m60 dropin in t.o.p. stryker LX6AK2 incan

From your measurements, it sounds like it could be a 26mm P60 type lamp. But, although the measurements are about the same, it would depend on how it's shaped. You have a couple of options. Personally, I'd try a $10 DX 6090 first... very small investment and highly regarded led drop in. You may just be pleasantly surprised how well it works.

Or, you can contact Gene about an M60. If he thinks it might fit, then give it a try. If it doesn't fit, you'd only be out shipping costs. Best of luck to you. Let's us know how it works out.

I would be ordering the dropin in a few weeks for my birthday so it will be a little while but thanks for the advice.If anybody nows wether the malkoff m60 or bugoutgear premium crees fit in I would apreciate the info.

whats the runtime on this dropin, what output is it more or less than 80 lumens.

Re: m60 dropin in t.o.p. stryker LX6AK2 incan

The M60 does not fit in the T.O.P. Stryker. I have a P60L in mine. I find that all my SF and Lumen Factory lamp assemblies fit, but not the M60. I can't comment on any of the other mentioned drop ins.

Re: m60 dropin in t.o.p. stryker LX6AK2 incan

That sucks i'm suprised since the p60l fits inside i thought the p60L looked very similar to the strykers incan lamp.I thought the m60 could replace the p60L.Thanks for the info.

Re: m60 dropin in t.o.p. stryker LX6AK2 incan

I think it would be worth trying the DX6090. It's highly regarded on CPF as perhaps one of the best "inexpensive" drop-ins available. It's output is approx 130 lumens at 6v. I have one in a SF G2 and I've gotten about 2 hrs. runtime with little to no decrease in brightness. Let me say that my use of the G2 is sporatic so I can't say how long it would run without interruption.

Did you find that out from experience, from Gene or otherwise? :huh:

I talked to gene earlier he said he didnt know if it would fit or not but he said it might because it fits a number of different lights.

oh i was wondering do you know if that dropin from dx would fit the guy in the second post didnt think it would.

There were some discussions about 6 months ago regarding the TOP stryker lights and DX drop ins. Consensus was (from TOP owners) that the DX modules are too "fat" around the base, where the pill threads into the reflector. Removing the large spring does not alleviate the interference condition.

While the OEM Surefire P60 and P60L modules DO fit.

They are still pretty good lights for the $$$ IMHO. Just don't expect to drop a DX module into them. They had some open-package lights at Frys and they felt pretty robust and solid in the hand, smooth threads at the tailcap too. Although I didn't take the head off to see whats going on at the business end of the light.

This is the xenon lamp in the top lx6ak2http://www.tacticalperformancegear.com/st6vxelareas.html hope it helps.

Well, it's hard to tell from that pic, but it's certainly similar to a P60.

kramer5150 seems to have some up close knowledge, but I'm just guessing. I'd listen to those who have tried it.

Experience. I own both the M60 and the Stryker aluminum.

On a side note, when you put the T.O.P.'s incandescent lamp assembly in a G2, there is a gap in the bezel and body.

Thanks for the reply Deputy T. What is your preferred host for the M60? Thanks again. :thumbsup:

Thanks deputy t so ill just have to find a different dropin.

I'm currently using it in a 6p with a z59 clickie tailcap. I've also used it with Fivemega's 2x18500 body with a 6p head and tail so I could use rechargeables, but it left a gap between the head and body. I'm kind of picky about those things. The 6p is my preferred.
