I understand LED is the hot new thing. I just bought Fenix's for stocking stuffers for everybody in the family. But what do I do with all these Surefire 6P's and G2's I already own? Is there an LED conversion kit for those, and if so, where is the best place to get it? Thanks. |
You can buy a new head or the LED assembly that just sticks in in place of the lamp assembly. I talked to a guy who runs a pawn shop that sells Surefires locally, and he said there's a waiting list to get them from Surefire, though, and he's on it. www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/carfnbr/0/prrfnbr/24502/P60L-LED-Assembly You can get the LED Surefire G2s for $65 or so at Lowes here. I saw them and 6P LED ones in the impulse buy area when I was buying my dad a gift card last week. What does a Fenix set you back? www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=284319-69074-G2L-BK |
Read this Thread over at Candle Power Forums on P60 sized LED drop in units.

Exactly... That's why I got this: www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1343 I placed it on my SureFire C2 with regular SF 123s and WOW, it was bright, had a decent thrown, worked for me. I then replaced the SF 123s with R123s and for about 30 seconds it was even brighter, really nice, and then it went REALLY dim (I'm talking less than a maglite solitaire kind of bright here), and won't go bright anymore, it got stucked like that. I checked the R123s for voltage, they were still 4.1 and tried with the original SF 123s and I got the same, even lower brightness. Considering that the drop in is rated from 3.6 to 9V, I dunno what might have happened. Will have to get a replacement and try it again I think, but it should work. |
