I'd like to drop a Malkoff P60F into an inexpensive host AND I would like 2 levels of output. Is there a cheap host that has the ability to change modes built in? Obviously I'm trying to save the $20 for the adjustible bezel ring Malkoff markets.

Is there any way to run the P60F Malkoff drop in with a 2 mode clicky instead of his bezel ring?

I have seen switches that accomplish what you are asking. They use an in line resistor to throttle current and basically starve the DC-DC circuit, when in low mode. Click once for full on, click again for low, click again for off.

Unfortunately I have never seen one for a P60 host:confused:. However it would not surprise me if there is a G&P or Solarforce switch cap that does this... you'll have to research further as I am not sure this type of switch actually exists for a P60 host.

Heres the one I own that operates by this principle.
