I'm looking to upgrade my G2 and found this module:  Deal Extreme.  Is this the one I want?  There are at least 3 that say they're replacements for a P60 sized bulb.  Let me know, I don't want to order the wrong one.  MJD

If you want the best drop in out there, get a Malkoff.
Got a note from Gene Malkoff yesterday:

Hello All,
Just some news on recent developments in Malkoff Devices: I have officially turned in my notice at my "real" job and will be attacking this full time.  December 10 is the official date.  This was done after much serious contemplation and prayer.  My wife is on board and it was actually her suggestion.  This is a first as she generally regards my projects as nutty and sometimes entertaining.  The electric squirrel shocking bird feeder was one of these famed projects.  300 VDC will discourage the squirrels and is fodder for some serious entertainment. However it does not impress the wife.

With that said, I have managed to broker deals with some good suppliers.  By mid December I should have enough materials to manufacture several hundred Mag C, D, and M60 dropins.  I will have Q5 WG binned Crees for the M60. Output will be 220+ lumens for approx 2 hrs.  I will have a low output version of 130 lumens for 6 hrs on 2 primary CR123's.  I have designed a new driver for the Mag dropins that will allow for 1000ma on 4, 5, or 6 cells.  I've had a lot of demand for this particular configuration.   And yes, you can use 2 rechargeable Li-ion cells.  Any battery combinations up to 9v total.  Hopefully by mid December everything will be available.  It is my goal to keep most all the Malkoff Devices in stock at all times.  Wish me Luck!
Thanks,
Gene Malkoff

I have a couple of the 1447 DX dropins and they do have a noticable gap with the G2, although they seem to work ok.  I have the 6090 on order with some other Christmas stuff which should be here within a week or so if you want to wait for a review/report.

I put this one in my G2 that has a Z32 bezel, and it works great, but only after I removed the larger outer spring DX Cree

It was inconsistent in operation before I removed the outer spring, so I guess that's the trick.

I think having the Z32 bezel really helps when it comes to fitting aftermarket lamp assemblies; no worries about fit and the bezel not screwing all of the way down.

ETA: I also put a Nextorch reverse clickie tailcap on this G2.  I keep this light on my nightstand, and it really lights a room up at night.

At some point I am going to go the cheap route for a weapon light using a G2 w/ Z32 and aftermarket LED, but I think in doing this I am going to use a more reputable LED assy, like a bugoutgearusa or malkoff mod.  

Not that I have had any problems with the DealExtreme assy, but I'm not sure that I would trust it to hold up to recoil.  Who knows though, it could work just fine for this purpose.
