Are you talking about an older xp-g or the current xp-g2. I have the current xp-g2 m61n and its on the yellow side. When i shine my m361 219b next to it the 219b shows a little rosy and makes the xp-g2 more yellow. The 219b is usually a creamy (off white maybe)color on its own. If i can get my eyes to adjust i can try to see what I think of the xp-g2 but I think I still prefer the nichia but i do like the neutral of the hound dogs, super. WCv6 is definitely on the yellow side but I still love it.I definitely like the neutral XP-G drop-ins over the Nichias. Yes, the Nichias are beautiful but you get pretty darn close in tint between the two and the XP-G is more efficient.
I do love my M61 219 LL and LLL though. I still have yet to see the batteries drop below 4v.
Have you mentioned this to me before? You probably did and it went through one eye and out the other...hahaha
A Prometheus clip and the black 0-ring it comes with takes care of the gap on the left. The glow in the dark 0-ring that
used to come with Prometheus clips takes care of the gap on the right.
There are so many variable when comparing lights and tints. I can sometimes see how you would say they look white. The neutral cree's I have is a whole nother animal when trying to compare tints. My warmest one is probably the WCv6 Neutral 4000K hicri. it looks warmer than 4000K to me
anyway, have fun comparing; it starts driving me nuts after a while. Every light makes another light look totally different.

As yellow as the wcv6 is for 4000k, I'm starting to wonder what the cw wcv6 is like(would it be more on the neutral side). Maybe the optics messes with it. I asked Gene yesterday if he was going to make a neutral m61hot or m91t and he said most likely not. He has already tried and the optics make it orange, then there are different oranges in the beam, so it's not working.
Sorry, got off track

I like this and it looks like it shortens them up a touch too:thumbsup:
Yes. The Hound Dog needs an anti-roll head. Add that to the list of desired features.
To sum up:
1. better knurling on MD4 body
2. Anti-roll bezels
3. a bit more thread tension between head/body. Maybe.
I totally agree with item 3I bought my malkoff flashlights a short time. Until then I played with solarforce + dropins (malkoff / sportac) My initial perception with the super hound dog was that the bezel would fall on the floor at any moment.I'm getting familiar ... but I was afraid to break a flashlight as interesting as this one
Is the relative ease with which the Hound Dog Super's head turns from high to low (and beyond) a characteristic of the MD bodies when mated with any of the smaller MD2 and MDX heads, or is it unique to just the larger diameter Hound Dog heads? Is the wobble that tuelleric mentions present in all Malkoffs with a high/low ring, or once again is it just an issue with the larger heads of the HD and especially the HD Super? My Super I got last week is the first Malkoff light I've had (I have several drop-ins, but all mounted in Surefires). I was immediately surprised at how effortlessly the head rotated.....I find myself really torquing it down to make sure it doesn't inadvertently back off of the high setting on its own after some moderate handling. My guess is that this is occurring because of the Super's head being larger than any other heads Malkoff has made, and that the diameter is allowing it a greater torque advantage on the o-ring of the body than with the smaller heads. But as I said, I've never played with any of the other Malkoff lights, so maybe this isn't unique to just the HD Super.I got into the habit of alway tightening the head when I shut of the light from low mode. No wobble then and I always know I would turn on in high mode.
Add another 8:25 on the M31L using alky 1xAA. I think that's a total of 18:30 so far.
Woody, you got 18+ hrs off a M31L on 1xAA?
