The Malkoff Front Porch
In some situations when working in a dark area, I'll leave it on the Low Low if I'm going to be using the light again. Easier to keep track of. An example would be setting up a tent, cooking on a picnic table or emergency car repairs. 3/15 would be great though! -

For whatever reason we have been getting rain on a daily basis. That and the moon was out made it a little hard to judge the lights but hey...real world conditions. Two nights in a row Wife and I went walking on a paved asphalt trail. My wife had a 1AA Malkoff in the stock 4000K version. It was... -

Just got my 3500K 1-AA Kōsen flashlight in the mail. I did a quick, unscientific beamshot of it next to my Malkoff MDC 1-AA 4000K on my old but pristine iPhone 11. I'll know more later, might take a nightwalk and run around inside my home while the wife gives me strange looks. Both have... -

I'm in Southern Illinois, snow is not common but plenty of hot humid weather. I can't complain about 2026, it's been nice so far. Wife and I are all AA now so I think we are going to stick with that. Most of our lights do see some hot and cold weather in the vehicles so we stick with Energizer... -

I think I know what you are describing with the donut hole, it doesn't bother me. I can also see why the LowLow mode wouldn't be useful to some. It works pretty well in my well darkened bedroom when needed *if* my eyes are adjusted to the darkness. It's also useful in some situations where you... -

I appreciate all of the info. I think I'm just wanting to try out a warmer Malkoff. Like you said, branching out! If I dislike it that much, I could make it a vehicle emergency light. I still wonder if the MDCs will get the programmability feature... The greatest thing I like about the MDC 1-AA... -

Anyone get an E-Mail from Kōsen?😎 I'm in the AA club, wife and I have 3-1AAs and 2-2AAs stock MDC Malkoffs all in Neutral 4000K. What will the Kōsen 1AA get me with the Nichia 519A sm353 domed LED 3500K? Will I be able to tell a difference between the 4000K and the 3500K? I've been wanting to... -

I just use them for lens protection. With a solid cover, you wouldn't be able to see accidental activation or just forgetting to turn the light off. -

Thanks for the recs.... pics of the inexpensive lens diffuser from Ali. I would be very willing to purchase a high quality USA version. On a MDC 1-AA. -
Looking for a basic light.
1. Who is paying for the light and what is the budget? 2. Who is paying for the batteries and do you want rechargeables? 3. Do you need a light that could temporarily blind someone or just general utility in a dark area, etc.? I'll second the Malkoff brand of flashlights which are made for...- jonc2

Maybe Gene is making sure that nobody has any problems with the new computer lights (I call them that for fun, heck refrigerators have computers!) The 1-AA is a popular light according to Gene. I run mine on low (not low low) most of the time so programmability would be interesting. I would... -
