    The NEW New Malkoff 1600 Lumen Wildcat - beam shots added!!

    Quoted for awesome! It looks like Malkoff has managed it again - the new Wildcat doesn't exactly supersede the previous version but offers yet another type of awesome. Thanks for the beamshots, run4jc. Posters like you and arm880 are a boon to the flashaholic community. And a menace to their...

    The NEW New Malkoff 1600 Lumen Wildcat - beam shots added!!

    Re: The NEW New Malkoff 1600 Lumen Wildcat Am anxious to see beam shots! The V4 had a beam -a throwy swath of light- like nothing in all of flashlightdom, IMHO. My NW and CW V4 Wildcats are among my favourites, but am also pretty excited to see what the V5 offers. run4jc can you go and stand...

    Thank you for the update and for asking a precise and explicit question, Cank.

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    A05000. Not an early-ish number like 00089 or something, I know. My light runs beautifully on primaries, IFR and IMR (and also ICR actually, but only in the 14500 size and above) whereas other users have reported ability to use either IFR or IMR, but not both. This led me to believe that my...

    Keep it on the L4 body and use it as a clicky for now :D

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    There were reports of timeout, pre-flash and unexpected mode in early EB1s that were fixed in later batches so my guess is that SureFire changed the firmware. It's not that far-fetched that they would decide to go with clicky or tactical-specific firmware to address the issues, is it? After all...

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    Thanks for reporting back, cankster - very enlightening. It's strange (to me) that they would opt to use different programming between the clicky and the tactical models, my tactical model works perfect with a clicky body. Besides, how do they themselves tell which head is programmed for which...

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    Yes, exactly that. It really is quite clever, and despite my love for the 2-stage UI, I was really stoked to get a light that I could convert into a clicky by just swapping the body or tailcap (although in this case it needs to be the EB1C tailcap as the older E-series tailcaps will NOT work on...

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    I am writing based on my experience with my EB1 (tactical version), but I presume that SF would use the same driver + UI design for the EB2. Although it came as an EB1T, my light also works perfectly well as an EB1C (I swap the EB1T head onto an E1B body or an MDC AA body running ICR 14500)...

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    From what I understand, the head on the EB2 works in the same way as the one on the EB1, and apparently the only difference between the tactical and clicky flavour is the tailcap. In effect, the resistored current of the half-press (of a tactical tailcap) tells the head to turn on in low mode...

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    Good stuff, thanks so much for the work you put into your reviews. Between you and Robin24K, I've got all my new SF light review needs covered! :D No EB2 to hand, so I can only comment on aesthetics for now. Still think the LX2 and the AZ2 are the best looking SF lights "post-PK". I didn't mind...

    Older Surefire models

    I think an SF "light with box from ten years ago with 110 lumens sells for what a newer sf with 800 lumen" sells for is mainly because of the collectible value and scarceness of the ten year old light, not because we feel that one looks better than the other. I know it may be sacrilegious for...

    Older Surefire models

    Wow, a rare and interesting SureFire, indeed! Wish I had the resources to acquire special pieces of SF's history like this M2D. Thanks to Blackbird13 for asking, and thanks for sharing, Rat. Question(s): any pictures of the front of the light? What kind of xenon bulb: a P61, or something...

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    That is news. I've handled both a 320 lumens G2X Pro and a 6PX Pro (both had 'D' markings on the head), and neither of them had the spring on the positive contact. They didn't exhibit the unreliable mode changing when clicking/bumping the light that plagued the earlier 200 lumens Pro models, but...
