What troop said. L2P is nice host, HA and all. But it's not worth 17$ in my opinion. I have had good luck with Ultafire 501:s. I know some have not. I have a and b and both are fine. Skyray is also good host that separates from the masses, but the beam pattern is octagonish, not round. Me not like.
Octagonish? Dayam, that is a great word, I like it. You are correct, of course, but it is only noticeable in beamshots against a wall, in the real world you never see it. Now if only I could find a light that had more or a trianulish beam, now that would be unusual.
Back to the Solarforce, an Ultrafire 501 is not really a good substitute for it, but the 504 is. The 501 has a funky bezel that is hard to modify, but the 504B has a nice smooth bezel and nice body and finish. Very comparable in quality to the L2p, but not HAIII anodized. Still nice finish though. (Not to be confused with a nice Finnish, or Danish for that matter).
I can agree, althrough the L2p is the pinnacle of the P60 hosts price/functionality wise is by far not the greatest. Im happy with YounameitFire hosts. At least if they don't come with plastic bezel/lens retainers.
Currently the uniquefire L2 i had recieved a while ago were machined very closely to grip a P60 dropin almost without the need of tin foil. I needed very small amounts of tin foil which is excellent in my book.
You're right, he DOES live in las vegas, after all. Maybe he pulled a lucky slot, won big, and is now married to a young vegas showgirl who has dreams of Hollywood...
DAMN YOU FOY, THAT WAS MY DREAM! Get back here! :P
