Drop in for C3?

[Charlie Mike]

I have a C3 with a P91 lamp. Does anyone make a Cree drop in for this light? It's a shame I can't get more light out of 9v.

Just find a P60-sized drop-in that has a voltage range which can accommodate 9v. You have a ton of options from cheapo units to premiums. The cheapos tend to be just as bright, but not as well built or as well heat-sinked. Plus with the cheap units you will get more unit to unit variance in terms of brightness and tint.

i'm actually intrigued by this
i have the m3 with the kt4 conversion head
and the bulbs are mn10 and mn15
would the p60 drop-ins work for the m3 too? considering they're both 9v lights?
i don't think price would be an issue considering i forked out over 400+ usd for the damn light >.<

i have the kl2 conversion head which is like 25 lumens max

i checked the wolf eyes drop in thread, but they don't have specific compatibility with the m3

thanks for any help

Nope. As you note, the M3 uses MN lamp assemblies, not the P60/61/90/91 assemblies. Voltage isn't the issue but rather size, shape, etc.

Not sure what aftermarket LED options are available for the M3. Sorry

If you go to Candlepower Forums, there is a man named Gene Malkoff that does some outstanding drop ins for the SF's..
He does 3 different output levels as well as a flood. They can be used in the p60 or p90 compatible SF's.
