Vinz Custom P60 Modules: Quad XP-G and Triple 219

if I bought the Nichia drop in, what body would be an exact fit for it?.
would it be a straight good fit, ready to use?.

what’s best ?.
thanks.

Solarforce L2m, L2t are what I have used with vinz’s drop ins - any solarfoce 18650 p60 host will fit from what i understand since all their parts are interchangeable

Though I’m not at all opposed to buying for purely aesthetic reasons (and these creations are gorgeous!), is there any pragmatic benefit to these drop-ins over others? It seems that 4 LED’s utilizing a relatively small reflector and only 3.7v isn’t the most efficient lighting.

thanks, what other drop in can be better than these. they look really good, wow!.
i did see some nichia p60 drop in’s at illumination supply in the US, but what is the difference ?.

something as this;

thanks…

those dropins you linked are quite a bit different than the vinz drop ins

malkoff dropins are usually used with cr123 batteries since they are usually based on 3, 6, or 9 volts and will run a battery until there is nothing left in it, so if you use a lithium ion it will run the battery down till the protection circuit is tripped.

the malkoff dropin you linked is 60 lumens in output - much much less than the vinz one - but the advantage to this low output coupled with its efficient buck/boost circuit would result in very long efficient run times. Ideal for an emergency light (since cr123s have a shelf life of 10 years)

edit: having owned about 12 p60s including several triples and a quad, nothing is better than vinz’s dropins

edit: double post

thanks, so if I buy the Vinz drop in, what is the best host?.
Sforce?.
where can I get that in the UK?.
was thinking flashaholics?.

thanks.

I get mine from http://www.solarforceflashlight-sales.com/ its overseas but they ship fast (i get all my orders from them in 1-2 weeks and you get a registered tracking number)

if you want a vinz drop in just pm him

I am actually ordering one myself soon hehe.

hey kind thanks , thank you, so once VINZ’s i bought, does it just slot in and ready to go , or do i need to modify anything such as taping etc for a tight hold?.
also the sforce will have a glass lens , so would this be removed or could it stay, as the drop in would already have one.
thanks.

solarforce has a glass lens no need to remove, the drop in will drop right in after unscrewing the head… no machining or tinkering required.

hello, thanks …….what sforce body would I need L2X right? or any other one?.
L2P?..

kindest thanks.

any of them are compatible… l2t, l2m, l2p… l2x :slight_smile: all interchangeable

thanks, would A ” Solarforce Special Edition Full Stainless Steel L2T flashlight body ” be OK?.
too heavy?.
anyone got this?.

will be for home use mostly…and cos we can’t own and use guns here most times, to hit anyone on the head if there’s a burglar…
thanks.

that will work fine

although stainless steel doesnt handle heat as well as aluminum.

much thanks.

So, would JM Paul like a free Vinz drop-in?

Oh, sorry, I see the answer is always NO…never mind. :stuck_out_tongue:

what reflector is in the Nichia used?.
thanks.
a TIR optic in this?.
someone mentioned a TIR optic is the best , and makes a better difference … ???

thank you everyone…

I wonder what happened to Foy? I used to love his reviews.

We all did. Even when we did not entirely agree on his conclusions.

I am trying to contact Vinz, but no response so far.
