    The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

    Hmm, for me, 19Wh vs. 12Wh is a considerable higher capacity, see https://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Keeppower%2018650%203600mAh%20%28Black%29%202015%20UK.html And https://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Keeppower%2026650%205200mAh%20(Black)%202014%20UK.html I can neither edc a...

    The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

    Thanks woodswalker for providing beamshots!! I like the beam pattern of the NU20, particularly how the hotspot blends smoothly into the spill. From your outside pictures I would say the M31LL 219 light does a better job than the NU20 at this specific outside environment. What is your real-life...

    The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

    Just curious, it seems that the Nichia dropins were passionately anticipated when they were not available, and now that they are, my subjective perception is that many or most of you don't like them? :thinking: This makes the waiting time until I will have received my ordered M61 219B even...

    Do you guys have any interest in a Nichia M61T - with TIR optic as a high-cri pocket thrower?

    If I remember correctly what I have read elsewhere... I think it might be the LED drivers' PWM which is relatively inefficient. At least if during the ON time of the PWMs duty cycle the LED is driven in its inefficient high output range. So, apart from (maybe) having a lesser impact on light...

    Found an old friend - SureFire C2-HA ....

    For general usage, woods and in and around the house I really recommend the M61N, and yes, color rendering is quite good. To give you some hint about lumens output: Actually, most of the time in and around the house, I use the M61N on low mode (only available in Malkoff MD2 with hi-lo ring) for...

    Can anybody advise me a new flashlight with all these parameters

    Most flashlights have both a hotspot and a spill, a fixed proportion of spot and flood, the spill is minimizing the tunnel vision effect and allows to see where you stand or walk while spotting a more distant object. This is quite practical. Sometimes the spill light can rebound from close...

    Can anybody advise me a new flashlight with all these parameters

    How important is this requirement for you, is this an absolute "must"? It eliminates the majority of current flashlight imo. Most current flashlights aim to have a very high lumens output on max setting, so the producers design for very high output at shorter runtimes at "max" or "turbo"...

    You forgot the 6th step: becoming older and childlike again (or retro) and buying (good quality) incandescent flashlights again :thinking:

    Old 6P and 9P bulbs with reflectors

    Ya, who knows, probably you're right, the earth's magnetosphere protects us and small items. But there is a chance for a superstorm (like the one of 1859 or even bigger) combined with a weak magnetosphere (e.g. 5% of current strength) in the case of a geomagnetic reversal and maybe such an...

    For a Malkoff M61 dropin or one of its variants I see no point in using low capacity 16340 rechargables, you are better off with one 16650 *). As far as harzard is concerned, they are equally potentially dangerous, that is because of their chemistry. However, if you follow some rules...

    Found an old friend - SureFire C2-HA ....

    The M61 variants (without "T") are neither throwers nor floody lights. Imho this reflector is the best reflector (in its size peer group) for general usage and the best compromise between spot and flood/spill) I have seen. Here's my thinking about the M61: The M61 has around 325 measured out...

    While waiting for the Nichia dropins... (puh, this is really a long time now, I hope they at least pile them up) I meanwhile ordered a Nitecore MT06MD with 219B ...
