They look seem to slot in between the Ultrafire hosts and Solarforce in price and styling. I’m really in search for a Solarforce esque (clean aesthetics) P60 host that can tail stand and is cheap enough resell under ~$20 after mods (usually a reprogrammed/replaced driver and emitter swap if CW isn’t acceptable). Great thing about these two is they have Gen2 emitters.
Hehe, yeah the drop-in could be partly garbage. If the driver sucks it’s pretty easy to switch to something better for the cost of a few bucks. I’ve got a few bad apples from dx, hollow pill and bad driver, but this one at least looks good on the pics. And the host looks awesome, and thankfully it’s not called MantaFire.
I’ve ordered one of each of these. I’ll report back with my findings. They should be in this week i’m hoping… I’m planning on canning the driver and likely dedoming the emitter as I do with all CWs from china lights.
Got these lights in today. I’m very happy with the design and form factor. The machining isn’t the cleanest and the anodizing is not the best, but for ~ 13 dollars I’d say these are hard to beat. The M5 has the best thermal design of any p60 host I’ve handled. I hope to upload some pics tomorrow and a mini review.
