Hey guys, Looking to buy good high lumen out drop in for Solarforce Gladiator. I know light is old. I like to baton billy stick of it. I own quite a few baton type of flashlights but like this one. Just need good drop in. Please advise. Thanks.

The Solarforce ones actually are pretty decent, but not much in the way of emitter or tint choices (pretty much all cool-white I believe).
The Eagletac Sportac ones are good as well, and have both single and triple designs, as well as neutral-white tint options (including hi-CRI Nichia).
Another excellent option is getting one from Hank @ Intl. Outdoor. He has them available with multiple emitter, reflector, and tint choices.
They are built with quality parts and are typically cheaper than the options above as well. However, they are a bit limited on voltage, and only rated up to 4.2v
The Solarforce will have the widest voltage range up to 9v, and the Sportacs are up to 6v I believe.

Doh! Totally forgot about PflexPro! He (Randy) is a member here, and produces a top-quality product as mentioned (with a multitude of configurations/choices).
I guess I was in pseudo-“budget” mode, as his are a bit more pricey than the ones I mentioned above.
Still, if you don’t mind spending a few bucks more on a quality, bomb-proof drop-in, they are hard to beat, IMO.

Thanks for feedback guys. I will check out all choices available. I know Solarforce Gladiator is old compared to today’s standard. But light looks cool to own.
