HDS Systems #23
It’s impressive that you’ve been using it for nine years. I imagine the countless tiny scratches—with verdigris settling into the grooves—create a really nice finish. After all, verdigris that forms on flat surfaces tends to rub off easily if touched. It’s also great that it’s a rare bronze... -

It’s tempting to collect various accessories and light pouches to go along with the flashlights you like. IR filters are certainly expensive, aren't they? I get the feeling that Japanese cosplayers want them for the sake of faithfully replicating U.S. military gear. -
HDS Systems #23
I wasn't aware of the SureFire FM filters designed for 1-inch bezels. I looked into it, and they certainly are very expensive; I saw FM53 filters selling on Mercari in Japan for 35,000 yen and 38,000 yen—around 230 USD at current exchange rates. Still, they look great—almost like a scaled-down... -

If it is in stock, I would definitely like to purchase it. I have sent you a PM. -

The Twisty has such a tight hotspot that using a diffuser makes a really noticeable difference. I wasn't aware of the drawback where the rubber stretches over time, though; I'll keep the idea of wrapping tape around it in mind for when it starts getting loose. Also, that Twisty with the red low... -

I bought a flip-up diffuser filter with a 1-inch bezel size. It now illuminates a wider area more evenly. I was looking for a SureFire F04 Diffusion Filter but couldn't find one, so I was looking for an alternative and found this filter. It seems there's a discount for first-time orders, so I... -

That's right. I wrapped scraps of urethane sheet around it to fill the gap. These days, it seems like you can make anything with a 3D printer, so I'm hoping someone will come up with a more interesting idea and make something. -

You will need to remove the HDS Rotary cap. I decided to try it out after I got the idea while cleaning the rotary cap. I adjusted it by wrapping a hard urethane sheet around it to fill the gap. I think it would be more stable if you secured it with a harder rubber sheet or a resin or metal... -
Why is the SureFire 6P so good?
That's right. The SST20 has a slight green tint even at 4000k, but it becomes unnoticeable in actual use. However, when illuminating a white wall... I previously posted an image comparing the SST20 vs. 219B using the Malkoff M60, and the difference was quite noticeable when placed side-by-side...- muichimon

My new old P60 host
This custom is fantastic. You can enjoy the incandescent light for a long time. The beam pattern looks natural too.- muichimon

Laser products Surefire 6P
The Surefire 3P seems to have a higher average price than the 6P. It wasn't bright enough for practical use, so it was a collector's item even back then. Now, thanks to the LED drop-in module, it's a perfectly usable flashlight. However, the short body without knurling is prone to slipping due...- muichimon

Are you referring to the THYRM SWITCHBACK? I used it on my Elzetta and 6P, so it's for a 1-inch body. -

Mine has a standard CR123A battery compartment. It should also work with 18350 or 18650 battery compartments. There will be a gap inside, so you'll need to insert some kind of sleeve. -

The HDS rotary with the SwitchBack 2.0 attached fits in better than I expected. And the retaining ring makes it easier to use. -
Why is the SureFire 6P so good?
For warm LED drop-in modules, I recommend Malkoff in terms of price and performance. I enjoy switching between different types depending on the purpose and my mood. The one on the left in the photo is a 3000K SST20, and the one on the right is a P60 xenon bulb.- muichimon
