I am looking for options for something P60 sized with an extreme amount of flood… brighter is better. I’ve been eyeing the Sportac 3x XP-G2 drop-in. Are there any other / better options?
XP-G2 will be more throwy than floody…get a P-60 w/ XM-L2 and a OP reflector
Depends how bright you are talking… VinH does a 2500 lumen MT-G2 P60 drop in. You won’t get much run time on high though!
That’s not how these drop-ins are advertised. The LUX from the hotspot is 4k @ 1m compared to 30K @1m from the XM-L2
I already have quite a few XM-Ls. I am looking for something with more flood.
Anything north of 1000lm would be fine.
Ah triple XP-G2 with a good 30 degree+ TIR will be exceptionally floody
Frosted will make the beam smooth and even and not have a hotspot
So you think that’s going to be my best option?
You could try this I’m not exactly sure if it will do what you want. It also may not fit perfectly because solarforce reflectors are a bit smaller.
May be a cheaper option for an xml2 driven well in a decent host.
That triple XP-G2 is a really good choice, and the frosted optics too would be a good idea.
The big MT-G2 emitter in a P-60 is a specialty item, at 2500 lumens it’s going to be making more heat than the P-60 host can deal with. At 3A and some 1300 lumens, it’d be good for a while and still quite a bit of light. But it’d still be a bit over the top and less useable than it would something to play with.
So, that said, the triple XP-G2 is truly probably your best choice. With a 3A driver it should do in the neighborhood of 1000 lumens. With a bumped driver it will of course do more. And siginificantly more with a BLF17DD FET driver. And it’ll run on a single 18650 for substantially better run times. The big emitter in a P60 would have to have 2 cells, so it’d either be a long light with so-so run time or a short light running a pair of 18350’s and 5 minutes of run time on high. With the FET driver, you could probably see 4A or a little better on a Panny 3400mAh cell for real world use.
Have fun!
If you are only after flood I would be using an IOS XM-L2 drop in but with a Solarforce Aspheric lens -> Solarforce Aspheric
Edit… Beaten to it by Bushwhacked
How does the Solarforce Aspheric compare to the Aspheric from the SK68? I have a few of those, as well… and they are not nearly floody enough for what I am looking for.
The solarforce convex does the opposite of what an aspheric does.
Beaten to it by both of you, very floody and as bright as the P60 that you screw it onto, it replaces the original reflector. I have an AR coated lens in front of mine but you don’t need one as the lens and new reflector are all one piece. I put the glass on the keep the reflector/lens clean. It’s my stumble to the bathroom at night light. 
Oops, I didn’t even notice the solarforce was a convex. The link said Aspheric.
At $10 - (8+2 postage) give it a try, it is worth it.
I got a couple of the Solarforce lenses and they give a nice smooth spread. I added some Scotch Magic Tape diffuser to one, to spread the light even further, but it wasn’t really needed.
Any chance one of you guys can post a picture or two of what it looks like after dark?
From 7ft away it lights the wall from carpet to ceiling and I’ve got a bezel and AR glass in front - very floody I’d say.
I don’t have the SolarForce lens but will pick one up next time I order from them to try it out.
I do have a L2 triple warm XP-Gs with the Carlco wide frosted TIR and can confirm it produces a very wide, smooth profile. The lower modes are great for indoor or close up work and at 4A high is find outdoors as long as I don’t need throw.
My specific purpose for this light will be walking on hiking trails at night, so anything more than 40’ away will be wasted light. My only concern is lighting up as wide of an area as I possibly can, so a complete lack of throw is definitely not an issue.
The Solarforce with a medium output - for battery life.
A L2m for more options with batteries, 18650 or rcr123a/16340 rechargeables or cr123a primaries depending on voltage requirements of drop-in.
Then the L2-CL1 convex lens
drop-ins are too many to narrow down but take a look at the International Outdoor XM-L2 P60 Drop-in module “ALXM2”
