upgrade my lighting setup: Surefire M951

So I have two fighting rifles, both of which have Surefire M951 lights. I like the robust design of them, but they are dim, heavy, and bulky. So im trying to decide whether i want to upgrade just the bulbs of both, or get two new lighting setups. My main concern is cost. So who makes upgraded bulbs or heads for these? I have searched and found a few, but i dont know which are recommended, and which are inexpensive.
Thanks for the help.

TNVC Makes a replacement head with impressive specs.

I believe you can also get a Malkoff replacement LED module.

If you want to ditch the M951 all together you could get a Scout light (M300 or M600), but those are expensive compared to the other two options.

A cheaper and lighter option is a Surefire G2 with a Malkoff drop in. If you keep your M951, you can put the clicky switch from those onto the G2, and replace the G2's momentary switch.

I did see that TNVC one, but im afraid that that is a bit pricey for me.
can you link me to the Malkoff LED? I found a website and they look much more affordable

If you order the Malkoff, don't forget the 'Fitting Ring for Surefire Shock Absorbing Head'

Wow, perfect info! Thanks alot!

M61. I love the one in my 951.

Glad to help!

I have both M61's and M61 'L' low ouput, and they are awesome units!

Put the led replacement lamps in the lights.

How does the low output model compare? Do you find the light more usable?

I have the low output version mounted on a shotgun, and a second one in a G2 for general use. For my rifles, I would probably use the standard M61 for the extra 'throw'... I actually use a Scout with the KX2C head on my rifle, and use the M61 in handhelds...

I find the M61 has a narrower field and more throw, while the M61L has shorter throw and a wider beam... If I thought I was going to use it mainly indoors or in an urban environment, I might consider the low output, but for me I feel the M61 fits my needs better for the rifle...

Check out Lighthound if you have a lower budget and a bunch of outdated lights, like me.

I just upgraded three yesterday from torch to LED.
