They sure are!!!Exact one I got a few months ago. Those 519A 4500K LEDs are pleasing to the eye.
I was thinking about that but I also just got a Malkoff SHO, which is my thrower big-gun. Any other suggestions for my next Hank?Nice. Next you need to get the dm11. Get some throw back in the table!
The SHO, that's not a thrower is it? It's just the higher output m61. But it is still using a tiny reflector. The Dm11 really cannot be compared to it. Especially since it has that big optic. Such a different beam pattern, and in my opinion, so much more useful, than a reflector.I was thinking about that but I also just got a Malkoff SHO, which is my thrower big-gun.

You are totally right. I made a mistake. I have the HOT, the High Output Thrower. My bad.The SHO, that's not a thrower is it? It's just the higher output m61. But it is still using a tiny reflector. The Dm11 really cannot be compared to it.
Oh, OK. That changes everything I just said. Lol that's a really good head. I would still recommend a DM11. But that's just because it's such a gorgeous light. And you can choose the LED you want. I went with XHP 50.3 HI 4000 K. But for something to absolutely blow your doors off, the D4SV2 is it. But only with the W-2. That will be around 6000 lumens. But the big difference is, is the size. Namely, the size of the optic. It's much throwier than the D4 optic. And the light has more mass. So it can stay brighter for longer. Personally, I don't actually like the standard D4 very much, just too much light wasted to flood for my tastes.You are totally right. I made a mistake. I have the HOT, the High Output Thrower. My bad.
D4SV2 it is!!!! Thanks so much for the background and the suggestion. I may still pick up a DM11 too based on your reco. Maybe it will be a double NLD!!!Oh, OK. That changes everything I just said.

Thanks so much! I'll check out the vids. Much appreciated!!If you want more info, I recommend looking at the videos on both of these lights by luxwad on YouTube if you have not watched them yet. This guy does really good content. But sorry to derail your post. That's a fine light you have there. I hope you get lots of enjoyment out of it.
I like small lights for indoor distances at outputs <200 lumensAny other suggestions for my next Hank?
