EDIT: Found the 3x Nichia 219 dropin and P60 host to go with it ! Review when I get it

Seing as I can’t afford the 6x nichia Eagletac, perhaps there is an affordable dropin like P60 that I can buy and put in a host?

Must have at least 3x nichia 92cri emitters but more would be nice. Ideally atleast 1000lm. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestion!

Googled it and found these 2. Over 1000 lumens in a triple emitter nichia for 35 bucks !!!

Now what is the difference and what affordable host works ?

3x Nichia Dropin
Solarforce P60 Host

Review when I get it ! Hopefully this makes a nice and bright (and floody) EDC high-CRI light. Should be a good alternative for my bulky SRK !

676 lumens for Nichia, not ‘over 1000’. Just read the official specs carefully.

3

That’s good enough I think for 92 cri. Any suggested host?

4

Any Solarforce L2something that you like. These are really well made and quite inexpensive.

L2m, L2 , L2T, L2n, L2P

6

this one has the most of your requirements: 3 nichia 92 CRI and >1000 lm… J)

7

Lux-rc used to make some great (affordable) light engines for the diy market, but alas now they seem to be aiming for the super high-end :frowning:

$215 for a switch button, now that really is a bargain! I’ll take a dozen…

Thanks ! What’s the best place to get em cheap ?

Finally got a dropin (yanked it out of a 502b) for mine and loving it. I plan on using it on a gun as soon as the rest of the parts show up. My only complaint is that it’s a forward clicky, but that is easily fixed (mine is getting a pressure pad anyways). You can run it on one 18650, one or two 18350s, one or two CR123s, etc. Solidly built, excellent machining and surprisingly quick shipping for hong kong.

Thanks ! Any reason for picking the L2M ? I am looking at the site and the L2M / L2 / L2T ect all look similar except for styling ?

Can’t decide which one to pick lol. Then there is the forward clicky vs reverse clicky… Some googling shows to go forward because the 3x nichia dropin is only single mode ?

EDIT:

Ordered the L2P in Dark Grey due to Type III Anodizing. Hopefully this works with the Sportac (owned by Eagletac it seems) P60 3x Nichia dropin I ordered

$40 for the dropin
$20 for the host

$60 total shipped. Not too shabby for a triple Nichia 219 eh ? Single mode only but I don’t really care for modes lol. So long as I can turn it on and off !

11

They say 676 ANSI FL-1 lumens and 900 LED lumens for the Nichia.

Seeing as it’s from Eagletac who are usually conservative when it comes to lumen ratings (or so I have read), it should be pretty bright compared to a cheap Chinese knockoff right ?

I mean it’s probably equivalent to 1500 ish Chinese lumens lol

12

The three little holes in the optic is for 5mm LED ? Would be awesome if there is 3 5mm red LED.
This thing is only single mode ? Really ? Its totally useless then… Only useful for police or defence use…

13

The drop-in you ordered says it isn’t in stock…any idea how long it will be for delivery?

The triple 219 P60 idea seems like a good one…if it had modes it would be much better to me though.

14

No idea. Hopefully they get more in stock soon. Modes shouldn’t be an issue for me since it’s very floody plus low lumens compared to cree.

15

nice find, i went to order one but it says: out of stock… :_(

16

i can’t find their site although on those pictures looks like they have one…and here also says: out of stock…
nkon.nl
anyone here with more info?

@kreisler

Sportac is owned by Eagletac

These should be amongst the highest quality p60 dropins I think.

Those are posts that connect the optic to the emitter board. Somebody on Craving Personal Fungus drills them and installs trits, which seems pretty cool albeit expensive-ish.

I’d be interested to know which optic is used in that dropin… Carclo does narrow, medium, and wide. (Don’t get excited about the narrow being a thrower — it’s just narrower than their others.)
