    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I used my SF6Z with the Malkoff drop-in to inspect the progress of a tree cutter who was supposed to be milling some planks for benches out of a couple of cedars I had cut down this past week. He also was supposed to be getting up a big pecan tree. When I went to work my side yard looked like a...

    JUst ordered from Malkoff

    Re: Just ordered from Malkoff Thanks for the inquiry. I really do like the Malkoff drop-in for my 6Z. I used it tonight as a matter of fact to inspect some tree removal efforts done while I was at work This light has enough throw for my applications in my corner lot in town. It has enough flood...

    JUst ordered from Malkoff

    Got my Malkoff M61L today along with my Surefire 123 batteries which are good for 9 and 1/2 years from now. I love the light. It has given me a new appreciation for my SF6Z. I compared it to the original equipment light assembly and really there is no comparison. Yellow to white. Narrow flood to...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    This is not a light, per se, but it is in the mail. It is actually in the PO waiting on me. It's closed today. It is a Malkoff M61L for my SF 6Z. Some SF 123 batteries are right there with it. Can't wait.

    Low light / Night fire training class

    Great review of your experience. I really enjoyed reading it and I have a lot to think about from your experience. I hope I can find a similar class here in NC. Thanks for posting.

    Older Surefire 6Z LED bulb possible?

    Is there a problem that I used the Rayovac 123 with no CR in front of the numbers? I don't think I have any lung damage from getting a whiff of the odor, at least I can't tell right now. I read the account of the misfortunate accident and it makes me wonder if I should sell my 6Z and just use...

    Older Surefire 6Z LED bulb possible?

    880arm. 1. How do I determine what my mint 6Z is worth? ( I just dug out the original box and manual that came with it.) What new light would be superior to an 6Z with the Malkoff drop-in? Thanks a lot for the put. This CPF is a really great place for knowledge, support, and encouragement.

    Older Surefire 6Z LED bulb possible?

    I found this on the Malkoff site. http://www.malkoffdevices.com/drop-in-mod/dropins-for-surefire-and-malkoff/m61s-to-fit-surefire-malkoff/m61ll-lowest-output-to-fit-surefire I think this lower lumens will do fine. I want to ask about the replacement head/light assembly available from Surefire...

    Older Surefire 6Z LED bulb possible?

    Now I am excited about my 6Z. It is in mint condition and I do have the box etc. somewhere around the house. I have only replaced batteries in it three times and replaced the blub assembly once. As stated , I rarely use it. When I first got it I shined it everywhere because I was just getting...

    Smell from my SF 6Z

    I just opened my SF 6Z to check on the batteries and noticed a peculiar smell emitting from the battery compartment. The batteries have been in there for at least two years with almost no use other than a rare occasion that I check to see it works. It rests in a drawer by my bed. The light does...

    Older Surefire 6Z LED bulb possible?

    I am sorry . It is a 6Z and has two batteries. I haven't even had it out in a long time. When I just opened the battery compartment to check it, a peculiar smell emitted. Is this a normal thing? It's been sitting in a drawer for around two years. Will you tell me the upgrade you have...

    Older Surefire 6Z LED bulb possible?

    I got out my old Surefire 6Z which has about an hour and twenty minutes runtime, iirc. The light is very handy and well made as a tactical light and the switch is very convenient. The light is not very bright. I searched on the Surefire website and I can't really find information clear enough...

    Novice asks do you recommend the Sunwayman V11R or... ?

    Thanks for the input. I am amazed at how much there is to know about flashlights. I have read more about lights on CPF than I even could have imagined. I am still confused and I want a light...bad. I like my Surefire 6Z but it isn't even as bright as a Lenser twenty dollar light that my son...
