Too floody for my taste.

Gene told me the drop in will work on one 18650, but it is not enough current for it to be regulated so it will be working in direct drive. It will work fine, just not at its full power.

Maybe Gene will come up with a tighter optic or a reflector.
My primary duty carry light right now is an M60 in a 9p. For those who were lucky enough to get one of these already, are any of you in law enforcement? I ask because I'm concerned about the light being too floody for primary duty carry. It appears it would be great to light up a room when clearing a house, however, my concern lies with contacting individuals and not being able to focus light on the face. I guess the simple question is, what kind of blinding/disrupting effect does this light have when you're on the receiving end of its wall of light?

The M60 and M30 can put out about 6000-7000 lux, measured at one meter, in a concentrated spot. The MC-E would never be able to produce such lux, such blinding effect when shined at an individual.

At 5 yards and under, it's bright enough to disorient a person (very briefly), but that's also high dependant on the ambient light. Beyond that the output is too floody.
Here are some rough numbers from my DX light meter:
Light_____________________________lux @1 m________light box
M60W MC-E/6P (AW 16340s)___________900_____________470
Eagletac T10C2-high (AW 16340s)______4800____________305
Fenix TK10-high (AW 16340s)__________3900____________249

An IMR 18650 should be able to deliver all the current it needs. Wonder if that will work.

I am thinking about putting one of these in a 9-P but how hot does it get when held in an ungloved hand for long periods of time? I can take the heat from an L4 in my hand on continuously but not much more than that. Has anyone tried to hold this one in their hand for longer than a few minutes?
I left mine on continuously for 7 minutes, sitting on my desk, and it was quite warm, but still easily held in my bare hand.

The MC-E's are back in stock. Unfortunately, the MC-E warm is out again. I think I picked up that last one.

I've noticed the email notification has been behind compared to the online stock lately. Until that gets fixed it's the old fashioned way, refresh refresh refresh :sigh:

I signed up for the email notification but I did not get it either. I have, however, been checking his site several times a day for them to be in stock and I when I saw that they were in stock this morning I jumped on it immediately. I have a 9P on order as a host and I will post some beamshots after I get both items.

Yea I didn't get an email notice either!
But I set it as my homepage so everytime I got on I would be reminded to check. I picked up the warm version! Can't wait, going into a FM body!

Yesterday I received a 9P body bored out for 2 x 18500 cells with one of these in mind. The thing is I am now contemplating a Dereelight MCE drop in but I am a little concerned about overheating issues - should I be?
PS - I already have a Malkoff M60F, so was thinking that this might be a better combination.
