The $10 P60 host.

Solarforce L2m - http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_230449.html
$10.99 with coupon

I'm going to buy.

Or 502B better?

Exactly. Where others see problems we see opportunity… In this case the opportunity to add some copper :+1:

I’m so crushed right now…. Like how can we still be friends man. LOL!

Can you believe we’ve come to the place where “real” and “Ultrafire” are being used in the same sentence… :student:

L2T, L2m are my favorite, got them on a deal a while back from a HK ebay seller (some airsoft shop?).

Also have a new/unused SS L2T Limited here, but that was a pricey one.

I have both. Get the Solarforce L2M. I use mine with the short tube along with an18350, and a XP-L V6 drop-in. Fantastic light.

Yeah, i’ve got a heap of opportunities in a drawer here… :stuck_out_tongue:

….or lose the spring and some aluminum…. :disguised_face:

I was going to edit my reply to add how that irony’s not lost on me, but was too lazy. :smiley:

Gotta say, I love the (UF) DV-S9 and F13. No idea if they UTorched someone else’s lights for those two.

Whoa… 10.99? What coupon? Looked, see the shorty+extension tubes, want some!!

What code? Gimmegimmegimme… :smiley:

Hey, found it, from literally a month ago (04-21), and it’s still good!

Got myself a few… :smiley:

You know where to look...


Okay Matt I got one for ya, no better place to make this post.

Several years ago I picked up an Eveready circa 1937 brass and copper flashlight. I have not yet been able to find the exact model # for the c sized cell version.

I picked it up at a local flee market for oddly enough, 10 bucks. Now you are probably wondering why I am writing this in a P60 thread. Well, in an ahhh-haaa moment I had one evening while looking at the light on my shelf it came to me that I should upgrade the vintage piece. Cutting a long story short, a p60 host fit perfectly after removing the stock reflector and catch piece (both of which unscrew out).

Two small issues plague the upgrade. One I resolved and the second is further complicated by the first resolve. Here is the low down; If you notice in the pictures below i show some rubber washers and the inside of the front of the light. With a small piece of copper and solder I extended the original switch about 1/4 of an inch so that it contacts the reflector to complete the circuit. Unfortunately for the setup to work I had to isolate the drop in with the washers. Not good for thermal management but the XRE emitter didnt seem to mind. I also placed and XHP50 P60 drop-in in it which really made it come to life but will quickly overheat if left on for too long.

The batteries, a single 18650 with rubber grommets or an 18650 + 18350 with grommets worked great to power the light (XRE n XHP50 respectively) with the addition of a tail cap spring borrowed from a mag light.

Also tmart . com sells the Ultrafire C1 host for 9.99. (or used to anyway) Personally i like the C1 alot. There are several variants out there and if you buy one of the 9.99 hosts maybe you will luck out and get the longer front bezel and linear driver capable of powering an XHP50. just swap in two 18350’s and solder in an MCPCB XHP50.

The setup exists. Ive done it and it works well.

SkyRay SR-5 back in the day was a pretty good deal.

I give up. I looked but did not find. Kindly share?

Yep, found it, worked!

Now I’ll be able to use some idle 18350s…

Mine would have to be the L2m, but with the head and tailcap on mine it was closer to $30 from solarforce sales.

Got an XML2 and qlite driver… need some upgraded dropins. would love to mod it to fit an 18500 though for longer runtime

Did someone say “add some copper to a 502B”? Stock reflector but DIY copper pill threads both into the reflector and the finned portion. Body extended for 2 cells. XHP 50

Hjeh, kewl!

Sweet! i like it… good job
