Idk about the rest of ya, but I'd buy a couple cren bezels .. also would jump on a MD4 body with the new pineapple grip!

+ ∞ .... Would instantly jump on more than a couple of 22.3 cren bezels. And a few pineapple MD3 and MD4 to match the two pineapple MD2 (body and tricap only) I just picked up . Perhaps my longest standing gripe with MDX hosts over the years has been with its less-than-aggressive knurling. Hoping that the new cut addresses the issue once and for all.

 

[knucklegary]

Maybe someone who knows how to get a poll going will show Gene how many of us are on board for a 22.3 crenelated bezel

.. just a thought

Real quick, as I'm about to head to work...
Discovered my Lee filters were delivered.
It's a lifetime supply!

Simple stuff, a 2 minute job to cut and install.

M61HOT, before and after Lee 206:

Compared to my old original M61N with XP-G:

Oh, is the output reduced? Yeah, I can live with this

 

[adamlau]

Very, very nice :goodjob: . I use a 249 quarter minus green filter to clean up the SST-20 5700K. Half minus green works even better, but I wanted more output than what the half allowed...

 

[Owen]

Very, very nice :goodjob:

And I am very, very happy with it!
Super impressed with this filter. The M61HOT is now just a fuzz cooler than my 4500K Zebralight SC64w HI, but you have to compare them directly to be able to tell.
With the high/low ring, it does still show up blue/green on low, but this light's going to be used strictly on high, so that is no matter.

I can't get over how "cool" it is that these filters are available. Last night, I actually put the M61HOT back in my bag after a while, and went back to my M61N. Tonight, I'm going around shining it on anything and everything, marveling at the improvement in color separation and rendition.
It's not *quite* there against a genuine neutral, but the difference is pretty dramatic. There's also a noticeable reduction in backscatter from clouds of steam, and glare when looking at something through stainless steel grating.

This is reminding me of having the Surefire E2DL, E2L, and L1 all modded with Q3-5A and Q4-5B emitters, years ago. Similar decrease in output, and increase in usefulness, but this time the expense for the mod was $7.99+shipping for a sheet of color correction filter!

 

[marco.weiss]

really impressive the difference.
was that the product used?

[adamlau]

You may want to peruse their swatch book which has most, if not all of their available filters: LEE Filters Swatch Book

 

[marco.weiss]

Thank you.
It really looks like a better cost-benefit.
More filters for an inviting value.

I haven't been paying attention to flashlights for a while. I'm quite set on exactly what I need and other things have been consuming my time.

I come back once in a while to check in and see cool new stuff which causes my interest to go through the roof.

Has the lineup of M61 & M91 been switched over to SST emitters? I love the much wider availability of high CRI in standard products.

yes, m61 linup have sst20 now!
but hicri only with neutral and warm

 

[adamlau]

Can we expect M61/M91 to go OSLON at some point? Probably a new XT series. Cloud Defensive and Modlite (OKW W1 and PLHv2 W2) have already moved in that direction...

thanks a lot Gene,
22.3 Crenulated bezel would be a neat idea!

Any word on the possibility of an MD2 body sized for 21700? I would LOVE to upgrade my HD 18650s to 21700s!

 

[adamlau]

Ask and let us know . Hopefully soon with the KeepPower P2140R and P2150K and P2150R and P2150TC already available to purchase stateside.

 

[adamlau]

Pineapple, anyone?

First impressions: Love at first sight, but perhaps not love at first bite due to its smooth finish (that matches the MDX series). Does not retain debris as easily as fine knurling :thumbsup:

 

[Robot Mania FU]

Nice!! I have an extra head to fill with something and that new body might be the push I needed.

 

[doctordun]

Looking for a light with the longest runtime of useable light for a gun safe that uses batterys I can change out..
I am currenting using lithium ion battery powered Chinese closet light from Amazon. I have to recharge every three days and while they are charging. No light in the safe.
Is there a choice with Malkoff Products

 

[adamlau]

I resolve a similar scenario with an M61 High/Low MD3 + primaries. Rechargeable lithiums are set aside as changeouts. M61L High/Low may also work for you. I find the M61LL too low in output to serve as a potential WML and would rather not deal with complexity of the M361 for an item that goes into the safe. Has to be as KISS as possible. YMMV.

 

[caelyx]

Pineapple, anyone?

I like what you've done with those lanyards; they look really clean and neat. Are they double constrictor knots?

 

[adamlau]

Are they double constrictor knots?

Yes they are. Terminated with pop barrel connectors for breakaway safety.
