PWM is pulse width modulation. Its how the DC-DC circuit dims the LED output for low modes, by rapidly cycling it on/off/on/off. A poorly designed circuit will power cycle the frequency low enough (Hz) to be detected by the human eye. It makes moving objects appear jumpy, spotty and "scattered"... PWM "flicker" is the common term used to describe it. Many users are highly sensitive to it, while some are not. So its a completely subjective thing. For me its like looking at a strobe. My two worst PWM offenders are set at ~100Hz and 135Hz. I find them unusable in lower modes. Unfortunately, manufacturers almost never publish PWM frequency... so you are left to reviews and user feedback for this kind of thing. The E1320 drivers I have do not have visible PWM flicker, so I would suspect his P60 drop-ins do not either.
MARDUKE on BLF!!! I guess it was only a matter of time.
I think this energizer hard case light deserves a mention, although its around $45 so it may not be affordable to many. Its also only ~75 lumens, out-dated by todays standards.

I've only recently started buying LED lights, and I haven't noticed this phenomena as you mentioned. Thank you for the info tho!
Solarforce P1 with their R5 drop-in.
My son has put his thru hell. I know for a fact it's been dropped from 2 stories onto a slab.underwater numerous times and the list of abuse goes on and on. It looks like hell but it works every time.

Welcome to BLF Agent Tikki
Pwn is easier to see if you point your light at a moving fan in a dark room. It's usually more apparent in low or medium modes.
I have a couple mini mags that are downright indestructible. With a "match mod" and a potted drop in you would have a bullet proof light.

I've broken 2 502b and a 504b already. Not crying but they seemed very study. I'm looking for something tougher.
I'm interested in the Surefire G2 but the light is a bit anemic. The Solarforce P1 interests me too. Would like at least 200-300 lumen range. Do either of those accept a P60 module? I'm pretty sure the P1 does.
Both are p60 but I will say again go for a g2. The e1320 suggestion is. Great one, I just Ordered mine and I got to choose the tint/reflector. Prompt service to. It probably took a a week and a half in-between me first enquiring and it getting shipped out.

Yeah, I wanted one last time too. Too bad about the price.
