That's the best flashlight to have. There are many clones of the 6P Led that are made by SolarForce, Luma Force, Ultrafire, and many others manufactured in China that are sold cheap. But those knockoffs aren't durable. I can't understand why people are buying them. Surefire is the way to go.
wow nice, that is nice as hell and its only like 50 bucks. Im going to pick up one of these and a benchmade 51 for my birthday on the weekend. Cant wait.
The P60L module is really the only reason I'd buy a Surefire, except to gut their bodies to fit parts made by many other manufacturers that run brighter. Back in the day, 80 Lumens was something, now it's rather left behind by every $20 tactical flashlight on the market. Plus, other companies even make P60 modules just as good as Surefire these days. I might buy a tailswitch or something from them, but I couldn't justify the $100+ that many of their incandescents cost.
A Malkoff drop-in will be a nice addition. I would suggest the M60L drop in. It puts out 140 lumens at a 4 1/2 hours of regulated runtime. After that it goes into direct draw mode which means you'll still get hours of more useful light...just not as intense, but still bright enough.
If you really want to go bright, get the M60. That pumps out 235 lumens, but only runs for about 2 hours, so have extra batteries handy.
Hate to say it I think i would rather have the light get dimmer than just drop dead. At least you get a warning its exhausted! Nothing worst than being on duty and have your light go out all of a sudden.
This light is not regulated, so it gets dimmer and dimmer and dimmer, far as i am aware. I like a regulated light, thats why i use fenix, plus i dont want to spend the earth obtaining another surefire. The G2 was enough for me to not buy another one.
I got one about 3 months ago. They are bad ass - only downfall is they lose brigtness when as the battery gets lower. so ya - they last for 10-11 hours but gets dimmer. Other then then great light.
Bulb life on the incandesent 6P IS NOT only 30 to 45 mins. WTF??? I've had my 6P for three years and I use it on duty all the time; I've only had to change the bulb once. Some people just don't know what the f**k they're talking about.
How can that be?! The listed runtime for the standard 6P is 1 hour! And that's just battery life, NOT bulb life. You need to check your facts before posting bogus info.
The bulb lie is not 40-45min u retard i bet ur a little kid who thinks hes so fukin great! WELL LET ME TELL YOU THIS I WORK FOR SUREFIRE AND THE BULB LIFE IS NOT 40-4 MIN U RETARD
Gamermachine, you're not fooling anyone. You type like a special-ed student texting on the cell phone mommy and daddy bought for you. It's either that or you're a retarded adult that took one to many kicks in the head. By the way, you could be a multi billionair but it still wouldn't change the fact that you're a fucking idiot.
look i can rise above you and i can really not be bothered to read you're petty comments which prove noting. I do work for them and i don't care if you or anyone else thinks different.
gamemachine, it's "paid" not "payed" if you really make that much money, how about investing in education to better your spelling and with the leftover, buy yourself a couple of sessions of anger management?
look i can rise above you and i can really not be bothered to read you're petty comments which prove noting. I do work for them and i don't care if you or anyone else thinks different.
Is that how surefire employees talk? I highly doubt you work for surefire..you may sell them, but you don't work for the company itself. Your too unprofessional.
look i can rise above you and i can really not be bothered to read you're petty comments which prove noting. I do work for them and i don't care if you or anyone else thinks different.
I have a Fenix P2DR100 and it's brighter than even my Nuwai TM301-X5 5 watt, which is comparable if not brighter than my incandescent Surefire 6P. The Fenix P3D is a great choice.
But if you want the durability of a surefire and the run time and output of a fenix, I suggest checking out some after market drop-ins like malkoff or something.
the led conversion p60l,is about the same light as the xenon p60,usually if you get the led reduces lumen output,but there still very bright,just the xenon can throw in alot more distance.
The LED actually has more lumen output and much longer runtime than the standard P60 lamp assembly the comes with the 6P or G2. The P61 lamp puts out more lumens but runs 15-20 minutes.
You can get LED lamp assembly from SureFire website for $39. Yes, the bezel are interchangeable between G_, _P, C_, D_, _Z, and M2 models. SureFire makes many of their light the same way. Easy to make a Frankenstein!
I'm not sure how long if you order it from surefire. I ordered mine from batteryjunction(dot)com and it shipped from the US to Canada in about a couple weeks.
Do you have to hold the button down? Im trying to find a flashlight like this one, but I don want to hold it down when I need it.

You could just get a 260+ lumen Wolf Eyes for less than what it would cost to get a 6P, G2, etc and a Malkoff drop in.

i did a test on the p60l,and the p60 and there just about the same light,the only difference is runtime and life.
reneir0492 4 years ago
well, I'm gonna get a 6PL by christmas hopefully.
Anywho, regarding the P60L, here's a comparison between the P60 and the P60L(incan and LED respectively)
P60: 65 lumens 1 hour
P60L: 80 lumens for 5-10 minutes, then ~70 lumens regulated for 2-3 hours, then decreasing output until the 12 hour mark
macpwn 4 years ago
The P60L is the LED lamp that is on this model?
