I use flashlights often due to my lazy ass not wanting to crawl under someone's house anymore, so a powerful light will often do the trick because I can see across the house. I've become a flashlight geek of some sort for a very long time now (like childhood), like Eric mentioned. I am not as bad so some of those guys, but have gotten custom flashlights made to my specs by someone in WA. That said, I have a Thrunite TN12 in everyone of my cars and a few areas throughout my house. Its small, and very powerful but that's not the only thing I like about it. I hate the aggressive bezel, what ever you call that damn thing? I am not going to get attack so I can jam that into the attacker's face. All it does is it cuts holes in my pocket. Hate to have to go through the full cycle including strobe just to get to medium. This light does none of that only if you program it to do so. I have beaten one of them to death and it has never failed on my yet. I stuff one into my kids backpack when they went out camping for the weekend with their friends. I trust it that much.

It runs on 81650. I like the natural white light better (easier on the eyes) then the cool white even through the cool white is a little brighter. Believe me, its more then bright enough.

If you want to just switch the drop in on your Surefire (P60?), there are a ton of stuff out there but most are cheap Chinese junk. Makoff makes a solid drop-in that is reliable.

I am so happy with the TN12, I stop using my custom light. My custom light have a wide spread beam pattern so I have more light area which is what I normally need when I am not peeking into someone's attic. The TN12 satisfy that requirement and the trow is pretty damn good.
