Lumens Factory is pretty good. I have several of their products.

Heck, I even picked up a lamp module off Amazon for $10 that has been pretty good so far. There are still a lot of options available for P60 drop ins.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Yes. Malkoff M61 of whatever output level/temp you want will probably outlive your kids, and their kids.

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.

I use something similar in my old 6P. Works great on a rifle with the shock isolated bezel and as a handheld light. I also have a IR version that works pretty good, too.

Good options if price is a concern.

Your painted rifle is ugly, but I’m uglier, so send it to me and I’ll make it look good!

aimatdeer Member Joined Dec 2014 Posts 2012 EE 0% (0) OH, USA	Posted: 10/1/2024 6:26:57 PM EDT [#13] Price is not a big deal. I was thinking similar to malkoff quality but a little brighter. Thank everyone.won't be on a weapon ar see any real rugged use.
