I use a Russian STK body with a BOGUSA Cree Q5 Super Premium drop in module. It required a little bit of fitting. The module is rated at 230 lumens. I wouldn't know lumens from nothing because I have no scientific instrument to measure them. I down own some acreage and have eyes that see so I can tell you it is much brighter than any other high output 2 battery light I've ever seen.
You don't have to use the same body I do. I got mine ridiculously cheap and I like it because it has an integrated weaver rail mount with a quick detach lever. Other than that there's nothing special about it, just a light body. The module itself will generally fit anywhere a P-60 lamp will, though as I said it may require some minor fitting. Availability is an issue but if you can get a Super Premium it just doesn't make sense to me to spend more on a Surefire that doesn't perform as well. Surefire does make good lights that do perform well and are readily available but you can always find something more powerful of equal quality for less money.
My light doesn't have a pressure switch on it. I don't like pressure switches, not the wires, not the extra parts to potentially fail. The switch on my light is a little push button tail cap. It doesn't even have a spring, frankly I have no solid understanding of how it works and when I first got it I thought it was missing parts. If I want just a pulse of light, which normally I do, I have it mounted just past the handguard of my rifle and I can easily push it with the tip of my finger. If I want constant on I can either hold it down or twist down the tail cap till the light cuts on and stays on. Simple and reliable with less to snag or break. If pressure switches work good for you then by all means use what you like. In my dumb opinion I think they are mostly a neat gimmick manufacturers use to justify prices. Which is funny, because the switches themselves are ridiculously inexpensive too.
