Vinh has a quad copper 4400 lumen P-60 drop in you could use. I get shocked expressions when I light off this torch.
You'll need to use a ZeroRez switch tho, because the drop-in uses nearly 10 amps. Melts a McClicky in 5-6 minutes.

With high power P60, you gotta watch out for your heat path. Heat is the enemy!

No big deal, shim it with some metal foil for good heat transfer from the p60 module to the head/body. Some add a smear of thermal grease (Arctic Silver is one.) Tighter fit is better.

Also adding a +1 for Vinh's P60 modules. Got tired of buying cheap P60 with substandard everything. Buy cheap, buy twice. I've a small stack of garbage p60 mods to play with as a result. :)

The $20 metal host is the best part of P60! It frees up the budget for the important part. Not a fan of plastic p60 hosts.

Good luck, Mr. N!

Don't get scared, Vinh also offers P60's with lower heat build up. Contact him and he can build you whatever you like. Very pleasant to deal with.

He has a subforum under the custom builder section. You can see all his stuff there.

Using a ZeroRez with the Cryos Illumination copper host will give you about 10-15 mins runtime before it gets too hot to hold. Here is the host I use with the CQvn: 4400 lumens LOL, I never thought I'd see the day.

You've got a bunch of options!

I've got an Eagletac sportac xml-2 dropin in one of mine. I run it on a single 16650 li-ion cell. It's been very reliable.

Another one I actually have on my belt right now is a solarforce host with an 18650 extension tube. It's running a vinh m2500 Mt-g2 on two 3400mah 18650 cells.

I will second making contact with vinh here on the forum. Tell him what you want and he can most likely make it happen.
