I have my Solarforce L2 XM-L hanging on a nail just inside my garage door, use it all the time when I go out front at night.
I have a 504b with an XM-L by my back door, use it when I take the dog outside at night.
What is surprising about my p60 hosts isn't that I use them, it is how often I use them on Low or Medium. I'll usually scan the yard on high, then just flip it down to low while I wait for the dog to do her thing. She does like it when I light up a few rabbits on High and let her run them out of the yard.
Received my Solarforce L2T today. Installed the Ultrafire XML 3 mode drop-in. Unfortunately the forward clicky doesn't work well with a multi-mode drop in. It randomly changes modes when turning the light on. Very frustrating. Looks like I need a single mode drop in. Other than that, it's a work of art. I love the look and feel!
Update: I swapped the XML with a Solarforce XP-G R5 3 mode. It works much better. No more random mode switching!. Maybe it's less sensitive to slight switch glitches??
Thanks parkerdude. Maybe the switch needs to be broken in. If not, I need to get another drop in anyway, so I might as well get a single mode XML for it. Not the end of the world really :)
You may need to stiffen up the spring in the tailcap or the drop-in.
I added a spring to a L2P switch that was acting flaky with the longer body, and the mode changing was dramatically reduced. I can still get it to change with a determined 'WHACK,' but short of that it works as advertised.
EDIT: I really want to try the gold springs at CNQG in the 'parts' section....maybe this is a good reason to order them...now you have ME ordering parts for YOUR problem. This hobby is a bit of a sickness, no?
you mentioned "CNQG" as a source of p-60 parts, who is "CNQG" and where can I find them?
thanks!

It is a sickness, and it's getting worse all the time! I can't stop spending money on this stuff. I need some serious help, mentally. lol!
Just got my L2M! Got a Solarforce 3 mode XP-G (.8 to 4.2Volt, no disco mode) installed running off a CR123A cell for now. Gotta get rechargeable's. One thing I noticed, it doesn't have the anti roll hex on the head. I'm going to email the seller...
...then it's practically all my Solarforce torches. I have 2 Solarforce L2, 2 Solarforce L2P - all with Manafont 3-mode XM-L - and a Skyline 1, Oh yes, and a MG Pocket Rocket SST-50. All holstered and neatly packed away. Not even Shelf Queens!
