I have found reviews-sans any run times- on the Malkoff 'Hound' and 'Wildcat' and can only wonder; are you guys serious? Malkoff I am certain, like Surefire are very very good lights-, for what they manage to accomplish heck they may even be the best in their class but it certainly seems that my TK22, at less than half the cost provides about four times the light AND my LD60 running on ONE tube/emitter-with 2/3 of the batteries missing, kicks butt big time.
My posts are not intended to slam any maker, I KNOW the great folks at Surefire provide outstanding quality lights and I can attest to the incredible level of customer service long after the sale-many years in my case similarly I am certain that Mr. Malkoff is a first rate fellow and his crew are outstanding in every way BUT to compare these two Companies (with regard to product quality and especially to performance) is flawed-simply due to the performance difference- in every manner shape and form and I hope the implications are unintentional.
Have at me boys, if I am incorrect I will be the first to acknowledge it-after I am proven to be in error.
I neglected to inquire as to the run times compared to output levels, in general- for Malkoff, as the data seems to be difficult to find it would seem reasonable to presume the results are unimpressive.
