Flashlight Enthusiast
Agreed, I know surefire has big contracts but this is the first innovation they have done in a while, and can get some of the flasoholics or edc crowd interested.
Here is actually a new video about (September 18):

The name sounds Really Neat, I kinda don't want to read about it and be disappointed, plus it's going to be costly, I can tell from the "Surefire" part.
pretty much a content-free video...
I'm not a SF basher.
My first serious edc light was a Surefire, and I paid a pretty penny for it too.
I'm not a basher, but I expect better than government contract prices for quality and performance.
I still have that light btw, and it's available to a good home for the price of a self addressed, postage paid envelope; not because I don't like it, but because I won't ever use it again and I don't just throw old tools away.
A reflector similar to the Malkoff M61
In a perfect world, there would be no war, violence, or death. Also, every flashlight would be made by Gene Malkoff. :thinking:

Nice! I have done this a few times with l1s. How is the low with that Head? Are you using a 16650 or primaries? Since you said holds cx123 I assume primaries but wanted to verify. LolTHIS!!!
The body is the longer L1 version. I took out the driver and Barry from Precision Works bored the shelf out so it holds 2 x cr123. I still kept the 16mm width for ruggedness. The head is a Malkoff E2ST with crenelated bezel. With the 2 stage momentary tail cap, long 2-way clip and rubber oring it is the best damn combat light I have ever owned.
Definitely primaries. Long shelf life, slow taper and I don't have to worry about the protective circuit killing the battery with hard impacts. If I had to guess it would be about 200 lumens on low.
This is a picture of a L1 body that was bored out to 18mm after I dropped it. The tail cap with the treads inside completely detached from the body.

Does the 10 ohms resistor with that large current coming from the E2ST have any heat / longevity issues? Being designed for under 1000 mA originally I have hesitated to use that tail-cap with my E2ST which pulls 2.1 amps.
