Why no high quality multimode P60 sized drop ins?

It seems odd that the only multimode P60 drop ins are the cheap DX stuff etc. I'd love Malkoff or the BOGUSA drop in to be available in a high - low or even High/Med/Lo config. Any other ideas on this?

Why no high priced multimode P60 sized drop ins? JK.

How about these?

flashcrazy sells em at his new website, too!

Yeah I just ordered a 3 mode from the Dereelight site. We'll see what it looks like....

uhoh.
dereelight is in China, I think.

Flashcrazy's in norCal.. much faster service, but oh well!

Because Mr Malkoff hasn't got around to it yet.

I've heard very good reports of Dereelight's quality. Are these pills, like the 3SM, compatible with the stock optics or reflectors in a Surefire 6P or G2, or would I need to order a reflector, and other parts, as well?

The Dereelight Drop-In assemblies include the reflector and the pill (LED module), they're ready to install in the Surefire 6P, 9P, C2, C3, etc. Once you have the Drop-In assembly, you can unscrew the pill from the reflector and install a different pill to change tint, number of output levels, etc. The 3SM (3 output levels) and the 1SM-2 (single level) are the ones that work with the Surefires listed above.

I'm guessing its because the 6P and C2 were made to mount on firearms. In that scenario a single mode of operation is preferable so thats what the higher end manufacturers market for.

Thanks, FlashCrazy. I was just looking at your site the other day, and had noticed the 3 level only seemed to be available as a pill. But since I'll probably end up with a Solarforce host or two and maybe a 6P in addition to the G2 anyways ...

My Dereelight R2 1.2amps running on a single 18650 gives me issues too. If I put it on High it goes to med. If I bang it against something it goes to med. Ironically the cheaper MC-E P60 3 mode from DX has worked flawless and doesn't show any of the mode issues the Dereelight has. The Dereelight w/smooth reflector is a flame thrower and it is great in that sense. It only works good on my Surefire 6P, but on my Solarforce or Surefire Lego's it has the mode problems. I wrap the modules in aluminum foil to get it to fit the Solarforce host real tight, but it still gives me issues.

My Dereelights all of them work perfectly.

I've been happy with my multimode Wolf Eyes drop-in (haven't tried the Dereelights). That said, I agree 100% that Malkoff needs a high-low version to add to his line-up. I'd buy it without hesitation.
