Great review Foy :bigsmile:
That Vinz drop-in is a work of art 
Will it fit Solarforce and Surefire lights?
Also, do the standard 3A Solarforce tailcap switches hold up ok with all those high current P60’s?
Cheers
Matt
what a great thread foy… im wanting one of those vinz drop ins!
i too would like to know if the solarforce switches hold up ok past 3amps
or did you mod with mcclicky?
Solarforce switches work pretty well, I would start thinking about replacing them from 4A up..
I once compared some switches:
no tailcap: 3.48A
-Solarforce switch: 3.43A
-Ultrafire switch: 3.47A
-copper modded switch: 3.48A
Negligible.
Thanks for the info
Do you know if a McClicky can fit in the new style Solarforce tailcaps, and where can McClicky’s be sourced?
Cheers
Matt
i tried fitting a mcclicky in my l2t tail stand
it did NOT fit… at least it wont without some sort of modification etc
I seem to remember hearing that some modification might be needed to make them fit.
Why do you want a McClicky anyway?^^ I figured I dont need them.
Just wondering do we need them when using 4 or 5A drop-ins?
I really want a Solarforce P1d, but would like to use a drop-in around the 4 or 5A mark, so, i’m curious if the Solarforce switch will handle it ok, or if i need a McClicky?
Cheers
Matt
It wont burn up but it might limit the current a little.
Ok, sounds worth a go
i couldnt resist… i had to pm vinz and i am in the process of ordering one… how could i not? seriously.
thanks foy
Just curious.
thx.

I get tired just reading this, thinking of all the work it entailed. I have other reviews that are read more often but of everything I've published here on BLF, what I wrote here I am most proud of. Interesting that it is less read than most of my other reviews. I guess everybody else isn't as taken with the P60verse as Foy is.

Well I for one certainly appreciate the effort that went into this comparison. I found it very interesting!
Best of all, since by the time you posted this I was making all my P60 drop-ins, it may be one of the only reviews you ever wrote that didn’t cost me any cash. Though every time I read it I’m tempted to contact Vinz.
this thread made me buy a vinz p60!
Definitely my fave thread on BLF. Awesome source of info for P60 drop ins. Largely due to a Foy suggestion, my first “real” light was a SF L2. It is has become my work edc and appears to be nearly indestructible. All other lights have been relegated to back up duties. Thanks Foy.

Just starting my P60 collection… This will prove to empty my wallet quite efficiently. Thanx!!
subbed! just found this after i just put my first p60 together… go figure… i ended up getting the SF XM-L T6 3.7-8.4V (on sale) because I got a extension tube with my L2P host and wanted the option of a 2nd 18650 for added run time.
now… i’m rethinking that MF 3mode… pick up an L2M host and use that for the SF drop-in with extender and use the MF 3 mode in the L2P…. I just kind of got into this whole flashaholic thing… the Vinz looks amazing, as to the Egrenades… not sure i’m willing to go there … (this is BLF afterall ;))
… actually does anyone know if the new XM-L2 p60s available would outperform this group (not including the Vinz or Egrenades) of XM-Ls?
thanks foy for the info and wisdom!!
Excellent work, Foy. Superb effort, with invaluable information that is/will be extremely useful to many P60 lovers, out there, including me. Thank you, kindly, for sharing this information with us.
The only Erik Kress drop-in I own is one of his 5-mode XM-L 7C, which is currently installed in a Solarforce L2N, with an A001 head, a B6 stainless bezel, their stainless clip, and an S11 switch. I love this light. This was my first warm-tinted drop-in, and it is nothing shy of amazing, in all aspects 
I’m afraid, the auto white balance setting I used, for this picture, doesn’t do the tint, justice. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Out of curiosity, wow does one get a hold of Vinz, to obtain one of his beautiful drop-ins?
It is a beautiful design. Reading Foy’s original post was a joy. The Vinz MD26E XM-L/U3/2S dropin looks an amazing item. If it still existed today with a newer LED it’s performance would be even better. It’s very expensive though and looks to have been a custom build.
