Mine has the ring and outdoors it was just fine. With that beautiful white tint and vivid colors, probably due of that tint, I'm more than pleased. I have mine in an MD2.

I'm sorry, it seems I didn't!
My friends decided to throw me an impromptu birthday party.

Now that is a thing of beauty Craig.... I might have to get a full power M61 219 to go along with my M61L 219 that's in the mail right now after seeing this.... Thanks for the beamshots!

Looking at the beam shape, the 219 appears to be floodier than the M61, is that what you saw with your eyes, Craig? I see a lot brighter lighting outside the main beam.

The tint of that M61 219 is just plain awesome. Makes me glad I never jumped on the M61HCRI XPG bandwagon.
Awesome beamshots Craig. Can't wait until I get my M31. Then I'll have to have one of the M61 219's. Awesome color tint. Could'nt have asked for a better beamshot, you nailed it perfectly.

EDIT: I just placed an order for a Nichia M61 219.
I'm running a K2 LifePO rechargable battery that Surefire sells in my M31N. I've got it in a VME head, and a E1B body. I'm using the Ultrafire WF-138a charger set on the 3.0 setting. They meter 3.39 volts after a charge, and let them set for around 5 minutes they drop to 3.34 volts and stay there. The only thing is I get ~35 minutes of burntime at full output, and then it starts dropping down. But I'm O.K. with that, because there's not that big of a difference in burntime with a regular CR123a. And the K2 is the battery, I plan to use in my M31N. I figured I'd pass this info on. But try it at your own risk.

Craig, I received my M61 219 today (thanks for the speedy shipping, by the way). This thing is...literally...awesome. Just perfect. Unbelievable, at least to my eyes (we don't all see colors the same). It is a very good match with the M61NLLL I got from OR, too, but the perfect color temp on this one literally shines at full power. I just can't say enough. I may order another soon, though I am up to mid-calf height in Malkoff drop-ins now!
You guys need to get off your duffs and order one of these things! Just amazing...

Looks comparable to the M61N (first W version), unless my eye are mistaken.

my M61 219 is much cooler than my M61N.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I got 4hrs and 22min of FULL output with my M61L 219 using a protected AW17670. Very impressive module!
Thank you Craig and Gene!

What!? The math... it doesn't work! How is that not some kind of efficiency record?

Hey, you tell me... I know people were getting 3-3 1/2 hours of runtime at full output using a 17670 for regular XP-G M61L. So I don't know... I don't have one of those light spheres to measure lumens, but the output appeared the same to me throughout the entire 4hrs and 22 minutes - it ran in direct drive for 15 minutes after that before I shut her off.
I'd interested if someone else could perfrom this test to confirm my results.
Awesome light with a great tint and beam! The colors are so rich!
