I also received the "DealExtreme" LED drop-in for my G2. Unfortunately mine appears to be a dud, so I'll have to return it. I'll also note that the bulb is a tight fit in a G2. It may work better in the 6P. Found some info here:

The brightness is increadible. And apparently I'm not the first to get a defective unit.

I'll see if I can repair the DealExtreme LED before I send it back.
I had a look at that link. Lots of good info there and confirmations that this LED upgrade to the G2 and 6P is the "Cat's foot".

I hope you can get yours working with the information provided there. I am going to check mine again and use a bit of blue lock tight on the reflector to eliminate any future problems.

But there are upgrade Cree LEDs that you can drop into the Surefire 6P or G2 that you already own.

I haven't tried it yet, but this upgrade LED for the 6P/G2 goes for ~$10 with free shipping:

I just got mine for my 6P (shipped from Hong Kong) and it is GREAT! Much brighter thant the standard bulb of the 6p and of course will last much longer and use much less battery power! Well worth the 10.00 and the wait.

I'll stick with Surefire 6P I already have (and the 10.00 LED Mod for longer battery life with 80 instead of 65 lumens)! Seems like a "no-brainer" to me.

AA Batteries are not as efficient as CR123a's and have much less shelf life. I want mine to work when needed. And I don't need or want more flashlights to fill up my drawers like holsters do!

Thanks! I just ordered one of those upgrades for my 6P! Battery life in the 6P should dramatically increase now!
