Looking for a P60 drop in that will not overheat in a G2 head (nitrolon) and gives a long runtime.  

I know the Malkoff M61L is out there, but just wondering if there is something else out there.

M61LL

~100 Lumens, OTF

10+ hours run time, plus taper. With Panasonic CR-123's, I have found the full power run time to be approaching 12 hours, before the taper becomes noticable.

Simple, bright, efficent.

This is what I was coming to suggest.  OP, if you're looking for something, buy a Malkoff.  Trust me, you'll be glad you did.  They are some of the most efficient, bulletproof LED drop ins made, plus you get the added satisfaction of supporting a USA made, small business product.

The Malkoff dropins are worth every penny.

Genuine Surefire bulb assy.

However, i run a Malkoff on my 6P; now my little 6P Classic is as powerful as my Stinger LED work light.

I put this in my G2 about a year ago. No problems, but it isn't 1000lmn, maybe 2-300. Link

I'd stay away from the P60L.  It's performance is pretty horrendous when you compare it to something like the Malkoff M61L or M61LL with their regulated runtime.  Not to mention I've read several accounts with the P60L having heat distribution issues, meaning it overheats after a relatively short period of time, which causes it to reduce output and potentially shortens the lifespan of the LED.

I've bought several Malkofs before ... Just seeing if something else was out there.  

Looks like a M61L it is.

If you don't mind lower output, try the M61LL or M61LLL for super long run time.
