I just picked up a Surefire m951 and am thinking about an LED replacement.
I can get the KXFD for $53. Any other options. I know there's other mods, but I can't find a place to read more about them. What say the hive? |
| If you are not a lume hound, KX4 / KX4D will be a perfect LED replacement for your SF951. That's what I have on mine. Or you can get TNVC drop in or Malkoff Device for higher lumen (around 200 lumen, I think). If you chose to go the Malkoff device route, you'll need to take the battery retainer out from your SF951. I wanted to keep my SF951 as "original" as I can, so I went the KX4 route. |

Are you using the LED/IR head, or the KX4D? Thanks. ETA: I ask because it seems that the KX4D is designed to work the the 6P-type lights. |

It should work with any body that uses a P60 lamp, including the M95x.
If it's going to be weapon mounted, why not go with the non-pointy KX4 version. It's less prone to snag on slings and such. The KX4D only comes in Type II anodizing, not hard-anodized. The standard KX4 comes in HA (grey) so it'll also match the finish of the M95x better, if that matters to you. |

Being a believer that "one is none" I like to be able to use my handheld light parts to keep my mounted one operational in a pinch.
