[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1433783, member: 7629"] Surefire Shotgun Forend WeaponLights LED Upgrade LED drop-in upgrades have been available for Surefire incandescent lights using P-60 bulbs for quite sometime. So upgrading Surefire Shotgun Forend light on my Scattergun Technologies TR870 was a natural choice. Stock P-60 incandescent bulb puts out about 60 lumens out the front end with a fairly short runtime. New Cree P-60 drop-in puts out 300+ lumens out the front end at 1,000 milliamp current draw. with the advent of Cree LED emitters ... overnight lumens doubled for the same current consumption. improvement in lumen output and just as important ... color range of light output. incandescent lights have always enjoyed a huge advantage in perceived illumination for outdoor use. Indecent bulbs achieve this through generating many different wavelengths of light to arrive at final output. vs LED emitters put out a very narrow range of light. some folks prefer a warm temperature shifting to green... others prefer a cooler temperature of light shifting to blue. with a majority of folks preferring a bright white light towards blue. This mod requires either a reaming tool or a lathe. since new drop-in P-60 modules upgrades come out all the time... it's better to mode the light to accept what has become a standard size P-60 module. which has a larger diameter than original P-60 bulb. P-60 bulb next to aftermarket Cree P-60 drop-in [attach=full]85616[/attach] Surefire flashlight tube bore is enlarged in a lathe to accept Cree P-60 drop-in [attach=full]85617[/attach] Beamshot leaning towards blue for new Cree P-60 drop-in [attach=full]85618[/attach] [attach=full]85619[/attach] [/QUOTE]
