Re: Malkoff "Hound Dog" coming soon!

Does the 199$ price include md2/3/4 body or is it for the head only? In that case, it looks a bit pricey, but on the other hand, it's Malkoff!:D It really looks very tempting!


that is with a host of choice included.

Gene should make a M61 that is rated at 325 lumens. I would love to have the XP-G driven this hard with the M61 beam shape. I could use an extra 60 lumens, the brighter the better!

The bigger hound doggie head has much more mass and heat sinking capability to make this possible yet keep it reliable. Plus those long floppy ears dangling in the wind make for great cooling fins.

arrrrhhhhhhwoooooooooooooooooooo. :crackup:

you cannot possibly be member #1. Since I have s/n 002 coming to me and helped generate the idea that put this into the works right after I tested and reported on the M61 (youtube videos under MrGman9999) when it came out, I was in the ultra top secret line before you knew there was a dog pound to be in. I was sworn to secrecy. You can be Dog Pound member #2. :party:

the dog pound idea was also "top secret" and now so will the pictures and videos be from you :party:.

But I will show them to everyone else who knows the secret blinky blinky light code. Unless you acquiesce to being DPM #2. :touche:

Re: Malkoff "Hound Dog" coming soon!

I like the disclaimer in big, red letters:

WARNING: This light is capable of causing eye damage at close range. Please use the light responsibly!!!

That's not a warning, it's marketing.

Having met Gene, I would say that it is a warning. The guy is a straight shooter.

Ah, good point, I didn't think of heat sinking capacity. Think Gene will eventually offer just the head for sale?

Already answered this. Not at first, he has two runs of lights that will be offered as complete light assemblies with your choice of host but he did say eventually he would sell the head as he sells the wildcat head now.

This light is wildy popular :crackup: and he always has more batches being machined or anodized or somewhere in the works. There will be another batch along in a couple weeks. You should always be signed up for email notification and on his members list so that you get as much early notice as possible when things come out for this or any other model light or module he makes as a general rule. Because when he has a batch out there and every one gets notified, they will be sold rather quickly.

Re: Malkoff "Hound Dog" coming soon!

This hound dog light will likely hit 350 plus OTF.....Gene advertises like Surefire and is very conservative which is :twothumbs



Here are the benefits I see:
  • More throw
  • More throw then Mag XP-G builds?
  • More heatsinking material
  • At 1.5A XP-G R5's tint looks more white....really I have noticed that when you drive XP-G's at lower currents tint is kinda green. At 1.4~1.8A = it majically turns white. Is this also seen by others?
Im okay with being Hound Dog member #007

I don't think so. At comparable drive current and with a comparably high quality reflector, I'd expect the Mag build to out-throw the McR38.
