    What was your prep for today?

    Went on a camping trip and forgot my Goal Zero to run my CPAP at night. Used the battery from my Tacoma to run the CPAP 2 nights. Couldn't start when I put it back in. I have 2 HAM Radios in the truck, and am forgetful enough to leave them on sometimes. Finally purchased and placed into the...

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

    I plan on using the M61N (High) on my rifle set up for 100 yds. Here in the Piney Woods of East Texas if your taking a shot beyond that it's along a Power Line Right-of way or something. Received the M61NLL today. Waiting for it to get dark outside, but so far the 80 lm is just about perfect...

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

    Yeah, quoting myself...that's what is currently in the mail. This is what arrived. After LEGOing some things I had a 18650 to E series body lying there useless, so naturally I had to get a VME head and M61NLL that arrived today. I might have a Malkoff Mischief Bug.

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

    So I have owned/carried a Malkoff MDC CR123 for quite some time. Saw the Li-Ion MDC head pop up on the site and had to get one along with the 18650 to E-Series body. Ran it like that for a bit, but wanted to try that head on the CR123 body with a 16340. This created a dilemma. I can't pair the...

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    Those crenelated bezels don't just look great, but very robust also. The 16650 here was dropped from about 24ft atop a telephone pole (I used to work for the local telephone company), landed bezel down on the pavement, bounced into the street, hit by a car tossing it into the gutter on the...

    I know what you mean about them being handy. I have a couple 123 and AA versions. I recommend them to people that aren't really flashlight people, and need something simple. I have a similar fitment problem with my new Acebeam Tac AA with Nichia 519A -V1 5000K Neutral. The USB rechargeable...

    I think it's your post in another thread about these batteries fitting a different light, but referencing the D25C that made me go buy a couple.

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

    A Malkoff M61NLL module with a VME head for a body I have lying around. A Malkoff 2 X AA body for a MDC CR123 3.2v max head I have sitting here, because the CR123 body is now on a Li-Ion MDC Neutral head running a 16340. A couple Nitecore NL169 950mAh Rechargeable RCR123A 16340 Battery that...

    Came here to just say thanks. Nine years in and my eneloops are just starting to die.

    I joined here March 2016. Purchased my first Malkoff in June 2016, and my first HDS in July 2016 for my birthday. I'd say thank you, but was just the beginning of the departure of my bank account. :):):)
