Quote HistoryQuoted: What Malkov conversion works in the old SF 870 forend lights? You have choices: 1) Using 2 CR123 or a single 16650 battery (3 to 9vdc input), output is approximately 450 measured Out the Front Lumens: https://malkoffdevices.com/products/malkoff-mdsffe-2-forend-light-to-fit-surefire 2) Using only one CR123 (rated for 0.8 to 3.3 volts, and do not use a 4.2 vdc 16340), and output is approximately 320 measured Out the Front Lumens: https://malkoffdevices.com/products/malkoff-mdsffe-1-forend-light-to-fit-surefire |

I was looking more for a drop in lamp conversion, if possible. |

I upgraded to the SF drop in LED lamp assembly when those came out. I think anything compatible with a 6P might work |

Yup, I remember using electrical tape to mount a G2 onto the handguards of my M16A2 for MOUT training. So, I could see what the fuck was going on.

100 Tactical Lumens
Need to find someone to rebuild the factory head as I like the size better than the aftermarket head.

I'm old enough to remember the switch from the big c and D cell mag-lite to the first aluminum body 6P surefire. Every cop I ran into thought it was just shy of which craft. I could have become a surefire distributor had I been able to get the by the box load back then.
The issue was finding the CR123a. There was a single Walmart in the better part of West GA that had them, and even then it was hit or miss. I finally discovered a local camera shop could order them for me. |

I bought a Surefire Devestator flashlight (4 123 batteries) new for about $240.00. It was badass at the time.
Maglights in the 1980's. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Remember when a 2AA Maglite was good stuff? Kharn Oh yeah.. In fact, I just bought an LED upgrade for one of my old 2AA mini mags, and I've been carrying it in my pocket... A bit nostalgic I guess... I'm a total flashlight junkie, and this thread is probably going to cost me money... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I actually regret all the money I spent on the old Surefire with the 123 batteries. I had a Streamlight Scorpion too. I spent a ton on 123 batteries too. Now I have this little rechargeable flashlight in my shirt pocket that makes them look like shit. Is there an LED upgrade for the scorpion??? |

I bought a 9p in 2003 when I started getting into guns. Then I bought an E2D defender. The E2D got upgraded with a nail bender LED module. I think it’s like 125-150 lumens now. Nice an compact tho.
I need to call Surefire about my E1B back up. I think it has a faulty tail cap. Keeps killing batteries. Love the size, but I can’t have battery drainage. |
