For the 2 x 21700 we are are actually looking to produce an extender to to make the existing 21700 body into 2 x 21700. Because of the length, producing a straight up 2 x 21700 would require a large equipment investment in tools.

A neutral wildcat with 2x 21700 sounds good to me!

Any idea when it will be available?
I'm not going speculate and ruin my sort of ok reputation.
Make sure you're signed up for Malkoff email notifications, and stay tuned into CPF
Gene,
Hate to play 20 questions, but any chance of support for 3+ li-ion cells and a high/low ring (or similar, maybe even QTC, if you're feeling adventurous) for converted Maglites? Brightness control and 3x26650 (maybe even 4x26650) in a Malklite would be pure bliss for me. I don't think anyone makes anything like that currently. Even the (scarce) 2x26650 lights (like, say, the Convoy L6, which is looking very tempting) can't swap to D's in a pinch.
An endcap that can hold a spare emitter would be pretty cool, too... mount an M61 or M91 up front, keep an M91T in the cap for when you wish you brought a different light.

An extender is the way to go.
Then I can do 3x21700.
@knucklegary will just use Marine-Tex to epoxy his together for a permanent hard used bond
The head torch sounds awesome.
I’ll get 2 for sure
J-B weld has been my go to cement..
I will have to try Marine-Tex sounds like good stuff, comes in colors too!

Really exciting to hear about the 18650 Hand held Body that is threaded for the E2XTL. The current adapter seems problematic and I couldn’t decide on Malkoff 16650 body or a different maker 18650 body to avoid it. This makes it easy to stay full Malkoff with an 18650 = ). And the head torch……anyone think right angle light comes with it?! I doubt it, just having some fun imagining. Some of the surgical light head bands I looked up to see the ratchet feature had a small right angle light upside down on the band.
Some of those lights with the upside down torch go for $5000+. FDA approvals are brutal.

My wife uses head torches that move up and down. I want two of yours because she said her hospital has a limited supply and she often doesn’t have one. She says she can bring her own head lamp to work because it doesn’t come in contact.
She uses various lights I put together for in-office procedures because she never knows what a procedure room will have.
Ok friends I need some guidance here. I scored a surefire 6P and of course I need to throw a malkoff lamp in it. Looking at the the m61W as I have lamps in the other tints. Which one does everyone recommend? W? WL? WLL?

I’d go WL. You’ll love the runtime with it
W. Basically personal preference. How many lumens you wanna sacrifice for runtime?
I am leaning that way. These lamps always do great and I think 200 lmn is enough.
Ha. Literally looking at your reddit post about the p60vn from skylumen in your malkoff vme head right now.
Does this make me older than Gene? I’m 60 in November

Anyone still use the older M60F?
for some reason I never really played with them much but the last few weeks I have been trying them out and using them pretty much every night. Turns out they are pretty damn useful. In my elzetta’s with the hi/lo tails low is great for trips to the bathroom and hi is alot brighter than I remember. they are pretty much ideal when you don’t need throw but a nice wide beam.

Incase anyone is curious them M61WLLLL will run for 90 hours off of a 21700 “5000 mah”. The last 5 hours or so is approximately double the output of a AA mdc on low. Still very useful.
