Thank you so much MrGman! :thumbsup:
M61 is awesome for short distances like indoor use.

Now I really looking forward to the M61LL. 100 floody lumens for 8-9 hours? This will make the best around the house flashlight ever! :twothumbs

Now don't forget that the hi/low switch ring also works with the M61, so you can have a low mode light that will run a lot longer than that from the regular M61 and have 280 lumen goodness when you want. Don't need to buy a low powered M61 just to get low power. I really like the MD series with the switch ring to get low mode.

+1 about the MD series with the switch ring.

I'm sure if you are savy enough on soldering side of things, you could alter the resistance to get the optimal output you desire based on your most commonly used power source.

The M61 does sound awesome. What's the best 'tactical' body to put the M61 into?

thanks

Personally, I prefer the SF Z2 with my M60 and will eventually put an M61 in it once they become more readily available. The Z2 has a grip ring which makes it easy to "pair" with a handgun.

Nothing like some wisdom from a fellow TXN.

I was able to make 7 short videos comparing the new M61 module in an MD2 to other flashlights at 17 and 41 feet. I have successfully uploaded 4 of the 7.

I will try to get the last 3 posted tomorrow.

Great set of videos. Thanks for the work.



BTW, sounds like Mrs. Gman is doing a little laundry just outside the Top Secret Bunker Of Truth.

That is a special "white noise" created to mask the true location of the top secret bunker of truth. And my socks are clean dry and fluffy

Good tip, thanks.

Does anyone know - is there any way to purchase just the SF Z2 body, without the lamp?

Great videos--but can't see how the M61 is any improvement over the M60

You would if you had one. :naughty:

Hard to appreciate it w just looking at pics and videos.

total brightness is higher, transition from hot spot to spill is more gradual, makes it easier to simply see things better in the real 3D world. That's about it. They are both really good modules.

These are two more video comparisons of the Malkoff M61 to the Anto XPG-R5 in a Solarforce L2 host using 1 X18650 which I am told is the preferred and nominal operating voltage source. I am formulating ideas for other ways to show the beamshots of these lights in the new bunker of truth as well. Enjoy. the last video #7 is actually of the MD4 Wildcat versus the Nailbender MCE in a maglite which doesn't really belong here. You can find it on youtube or posted in my actual lumens thread that is now many pages long in post 394 on page 14.

All of my videos for flashlights on youtube can be found by a search of MrGman9999.

So true, as I have said before and should have mentioned with the videos that they never do the beams true justice to what you see with your eye. The M61 is simply noticeably brighter than the already great M60. It almost goes head to head with the M60_MCE floodlight because it has a very useable hotspot but lots of great spill as well. Certainly outdoes the M60F. But, I sure as heck aint sending you guys my M61 in the MD2 host for you to compare for yourself so free videos is all your gonna get.

Concur.

well, luckily, i do have one, so i'm quite able to validate my conclusion.

 

[RWT1405]

WOW!, is all I have to say about that. You don't see the difference between the M60 & M61? I see a difference between the M61's (3) I have and the M60's I have.

But to each, their own.

My .02 FWIW YMMV
