Great point! No collabs! A AAA twisty that can be our faithful companion as we navigate around in the darkness of the world post apocalypse!Yeah a genuine Malkoff version. Not some collaboration with another company
Closest I've came. Works pretty well.Has anyone wished for a MDC CR123 functionality in the P60 format? I have a McGizmo CR123 body and Malkoff Titanium VME head just begging for a 3 volt 3 level light like the MDC CR123. I'll beg if it will help!
It's a pity the 5mm Yuji are extinct...If a small boost driver with at least the efficiency of a solar lantern could be found, we would be looking at around 15ish hours at 4-6 lumens with an eneloop AAA. I have a solar lantern that does 6-8 hours on a full charge (350mAh AA NiMH) and over 2 days straight on a 2500mAh NiMH AA, and extrapolation from either number yields that 15ish hours. With an added resistor on the running end, it might be possible to stretch that runtime even further.I’m picturing single mode twisty, springs on both ends, potted to the ends of the earth, and a battery vampire. Yes it will be a bit chunky, but who am I to judge. I guess I’m envisioning Gene’s take on the original E01. 5mm and no lens would make me happy as well.

I like this idea if it runs like any of the M31 series, so I could run 2xAA with that.Has anyone wished for a MDC CR123 functionality in the P60 format? I have a McGizmo CR123 body and Malkoff Titanium VME head just begging for a 3 volt 3 level light like the MDC CR123. I'll beg if it will help!

Maybe we should beg Kosen to beg Gene for an M31...361...or...we need a better name for that, haha.
Yes. Not re-inventing the wheel here. The 3v MDC exists. Just put that in a different box. A P-60 box. Let us use it in things like the Ti VME head. Jus' Sayin'.Wouldn't it be an M331 ?
That's probably right, haha.Wouldn't it be an M331 ?
Sure, but we're saying, like an M361, but 3V, so it could go in the VME head. Thinking about it, it's kind of surprising that doesn't exist.Yes. Not re-inventing the wheel here. The 3v MDC exists.

I know right?! The whole idea is putting the one on the left (my most used light in my collection) into the one on the right! (the Venerable McGizmo/Malkoff)That's probably right, haha.

Dear @Gene43,I’m picturing single mode twisty, springs on both ends, potted to the ends of the earth, and a battery vampire. Yes it will be a bit chunky, but who am I to judge. I guess I’m envisioning Gene’s take on the original E01. 5mm and no lens would make me happy as well.
@Gene43 Keep it simple......make it efficient, of course reliable, and nice tint would be the shiznit.Dear @Gene43,
Please take some time to design a AAA light based on the Chuck Norris of AAA flashlights the Fenix E01. Make it stout, make it twisty, make it with a 5mm led and double springs, make it nifty.
Love,
