Review: The P60 budget host trio from MF

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts
17

To add more confusion, This is one ordered from MF a few months ago. almost a hybrid of the two.

18

Strange, no 1st plastic retainer ring... looks like alu ... it gets stranger by the minute.

19

Is the switch looking like this, held by a second retainer ring made of alu?:

This one came from MF one month ago

Budgeteer: Do you have any Solarforce L2 variants? If yes, how would you compare them against the WF-504b?

Thanks!

22

+2, that's what mine looks like as well.

23

I have only a fake solarforce L2, a uniquefire L2 and some others... pretty much on par with those.

24

I've got a KD 'Solarforce' L2 and a 504B. The 504B has a slightly (~1mm) narrower battery tube and has less metal in the head than the L2.

25

Here is another comparison photo showing the 504B, the Sky Ray, a Solarforce L2 and a Solarforce L2i

That L2i is really growing on my; I like the fact it is shorter than the others.

26

So, you like the L2i, do you?

27

Yes, I like it very much. Shorter, CHEAPER, and I like the heft of the larger diameter battery tube.

Not much to dislike about the light.

28

Very nice Budgeteer! It's nice to see a comparison review. As usual, great photography. Thanks for the details!

Frontpage'd and Sticky'd.

Its funny how thatL2i will grow on you. Im really loving mine. I even just ordered a new black one. I think my perfect light would be a 2mm longer L2iP.

30

The longer I own the L2i the more I like it. The knurling on it is better (I think) than an L2 or an L2P. Probably my 2nd fav light right now.

uh oh.

I feel it happening again. They still had those in stock, right?

Unfortunately I sold my Sky Ray, so I can't compare, but here is how the original switch looks like:

32

Here is a picture of a fake Solarforce L2, the 504B (use it often, so it has some marks) and my new Solarforce L2p.

33

I think skyray has done a remarkable job to clone the seraph. Either you hate it or love it. I like this star trek flashlights.

Now you made me order the Sky Ray. This thing is getting out of hands...

35

If you like the design, it's an excellent price. I will get a few more soon if they "run out". I wish the tailcap was made like the other UF hosts (internals) and the tailcap silicone rubber cover was black. No1 carry a dark grey one HA treated! Would pay 5 more easily for proper HA anodising!

A bit hard to find 16mm black tailcap covers these days...

36

And I would pay $5 more for a working (quality) switch... Seems my old DX one isn't working 100% either, just because I wrote that it was.
