So I'm having trouble finding the right LED for me. Got plenty of incandescents that suit my needs. Don't get me wrong, I love my SF 6PL, but in a way it's disappointing. Based on these specs, what would be some good LED candidates?

OTF lumens rating of anywhere from 100-200.
Type 3 hard anodized.
Size is not important.
Textured reflector.
White tint (not blueish).
Primary powered or rechargeable (Lithium-Ion if rechargeable).
Clicky or twisty.
Anti-reflective coating on lens.
Pyrex or Lexan lens.
Decent/aggressive knurling.
Highly water-resistant or water-proof.
Large reflector for impressive throw.
Tight hotspot with some spill.
Price is not important.

Dereelight CL1H or DBS depending on how much throw you want. You loose throw with a textured reflector but with the DBS you should still have plenty to go around. There are a couple options to choose from for the pill but there are options for just 18650 or for 2cr123's.

There are a couple other competitors to this market... a SF C2(for the HA) w/ Malkoff dropin is also highly recommended. The SF E2DL is also becoming popular I think.

Fenix TK10/11, Olight M20 Warrior, Jetbeam Jet IIIs, Inova T1,T2, T3...

A lot of lights fit your basic description.

Yep Malkoff M60 for the brightest and M60L for bright enough for most needs with great runtimes.

I mean you do already have a great host waiting, why not.

You could try the New lumensfactory LED option, but it is too new for me to depend on it at this point. In a couple of months of CPF use and review, sure, but not right yet.

Put a Malkoff in it, a M60 or M60L. All is well now!

That's all I have to say about that.

My .02 FWIW YMMV

That actually contains a lot of lights. From AA powered like the Fenix E20 to Li-ion only like some of the DBS' pills.

You can also swap the P60L in your 6PL for a brighter and better tinted drop-in.

You already have a great host, I agree all you really need is a P60 drop-in. Malkoff is highly recommended. As many will tell you, the M60L is an excellent balance between brightness and runtime. I have one in a G2.

Thanks to all for the advice.

After looking at the M60's specs, I think that's what I'll go with.
