Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

Do we know if Gene has any desire to make one or are we just torturing ourselves?

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

I spoke with him long ago, and he said if there's enough demand he will do it.

Potted resistored high/low twisty-switch AAA (with safe voltage range 0.8 - 4.5V) ... yes, please

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

Sure am interested! Simple, robust, no PWM, nice tint, hcri.

This just has to happen!

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

Dear Gene,
We love you, we love Malkoff flashlights, and we love AAA batteries. Please combine these things we love to create a new thing for us to love.

Sincerely,
Gurdygurds

I've got a narrow window of interest on a AAA light, but I'd be on board with exactly this setup. Great idea!

Thanks Mike .... I was just trying to think where Malkoff might be able to add value in the crowded AAA market space

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

Well I hate twisty. You know almost every AAA light on the market is twisty. I will do my best to tell gene to make it with switch. No more twisty.. I wish

To clarify (and you still may hate it, lol) , I mean a "progressive" two-stage twist ... fully twisted = high, untwist ~ 1/4 = low, untwist full turn = off (mechanically locked out)

Definitely *not* twist to "cycle"

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

The the Surefire Titan plus shock me how bad it is! PWM, Green tint, twisty, no spare O rings ...etc
I hope Gene make it right for us now and bring us something special [emoji4]

Still click switch is perfect for me [emoji6]

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

I totally agree with archimedes. That interface would be ideal. I would even be in for a pre buy.

 

[the0dore3524]

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

Agreed with Archimedes as well. I'm not a fan of twist, untwist, but a progressive twisty would be just fine! Clicky is always nice on an AAA, too, just would beef up the size a little. We already know it's going to be overbuilt, and because it's a AAA, clicky would be a little excessive IMHO.

Would love this AAA light in a clicky.

Malkoff "Lap Dog"

He he

 

[Gt390]

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

I wonder how many people Gene would need to commit to buying one. In order to convince him it might be worth making them, even for a one time run. Maybe 50 or more?

 

[Modernflame]

Re: Malkoff AAA Flashlight?

I count 23 ayes on this thread. Five others have contributed to the discussion, but it seems unclear whether they are committed.

I'm always in for a new Malkoff [emoji16]
