P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

[Jason_Tx]

Skylumen.com Vinh makes some crazy powerful P60 drop ins if you want a show off light.

Yeah, those are crazy. I'm not really looking to burn the barn down just wanted to play with a tad more light than the Malkoff has. Thanks for the recommendation, I like some of his 1 off hosts.

I actually took the plunge on KDLitker and bought three drop-ins :
- Single Cree XP-L2 HD 1000-Lumens
- Quad 4x Luminus SST-20 1400-Lumen
- Triple Cree XP-L HI 2000 Lumens

Along with them are a couple of KD E6 hosts -- an 18650 and a 21700.

So far I've been satisfied with my latest purchase, and will be part of my workhorses. 21700 host is not as bulky as I had imagine.

Thanks for the recommendation. I seen those the other day and thought about getting one or two. I have a Solarforce 6p host by my bed with a warm drop in. Just wished I could change the modes as it has high/low/strobe. Would much rather just have 2 modes for it

Can you please do me a favor? Find an ultra quiet indoor place and toggle through all the modes to see if you get any whining sound. I bought a couple of the KD dropins a couple years ago and they whine except at the highest mode. Want to see if they've improved their drivers.

Did your request on a closed bathroom... almost no sound after I close the door. Tested all three drop-in and found no whining sound on any of the modes. The QuadLED and TripLED has 4-modes while the single XP-L2 has 3-modes. Seems to have passed the sound test.

The Quad and Trip are using CDM-P4000 and P5000 circuits respectively. The XP-L2 uses BD39 circuit.

I've a quick question.
Just found a older solarforce body stuck in a drawer and I think I'll get a head & tail switch for it.

What I'd like is to see if I can make it into a gas pedal switch light like the EDCL-1 & 2. Anyone know how I might do that?

Or....

Other option is to make it momentary on only with a twist to stay on. Isn't that how they were originally? What tail cap is that?

And for the dropin I think I want a floody beam 500'ish lumens (Indoor, night stand, pew pew light)

Thx.

Can’t held you with the switch. For a floody drop in illumination gear have some triple sporttac models.

Hello everyone, I have been away for a number of years. I was searching for a P60 drop-in, but I have been overwhelmed by options but still not finding what I am looking for. I have a few Surefire 6P incandescents still in the package that I want to upgrade. I have a Surefire 6PX Pro that I really like. I am searching for something similar in a P60 that would have a two modes a high and low. The Surefire is 600/15 lumens. This is for a utility flashlight so doesn't have to be a super throw or super flood somewhere in the middle. I do like warmer tones. It's a shame the 6PX Pro isn't a drop-in. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the Sportac P60 Module with Two-modes (100% & 20%). There are a variety of combinations but the Luminous SST-20 4000K (or XP-L Hi Neutral) might work for you.

rechargeable option:

Seraph SP-9 (host only) $30
Sportac Pro w/ XHP-35 HI neutral $40
Two Panasonic 2000mAh 18500 $10


that'll be a super/strong setup for around $80
(in 10 years that'll still be a great & relevant light)

Exactly why I logged back in after many years. I have 2 Surefire G2s and a D2 Defender and was hoping for some quick advice on a solid and hopefully less expensive lamp module.

Maybe someone will offer some additional advice!

Customlites still has two mod drop ins. PM me if you want mine! It’s nice o just hate mode memory

[Ksepticon]

I'm having a heck of a time finding a drop in replacement to go in my L2 Solarforce that has the features I want. I had a 2 mode LED lamp with memory function from Lighthound that I got back in the day with high and strobe that I was pretty happy with until it started having intermittent/unreliable activation and now seems to have finally quit for good. I want to replace it with either another 2 Mode High/Strobe or a 3 Mode High/Low/Strobe, either with or without memory function. I absolutely do not want a 5 mode. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[archimedes]

TorchLAB Triple P60 with the Lux-RC light engine should be able to do that.

Expensive though, and might need to check fitment with that Solarforce, as those dropins are optimized for SureFire hosts.

[Buck91]

I think fasttech has some 17mm drivers like that which you may be able to use to repair yours?

[Ksepticon]

Thanks for the suggestions I'll check them out and update with results😊

Any idea how to get in touch with customlites? I just tried and the server wouldn’t allow me to send a contact email...
I’m looking for a high CRI triple for a bored C2. The kdlitker won’t fit Surefire. And I can’t spend what overready wants.
