Malkoff Junkies: Assemble! M361 WARM P60 drop-in

[greatscoot]

Drop-ins are here and after a quick test...... HOLY CRAP, these are AMAZING!!!!

I picked up a 3000K and 4000K, the tint is fantastic.


Thanks again for doing this.

A pair of 3000 219c arrived.
Yay!!

The box in sunlight

Lit by the 219c

The old 6P has a new light source.
(Was using an NLL)

Wild guess on the numbers here:
Low, about 10-20 lumens?
Med, about 125 to 175 lumens?
Hi, about 350 or so?
Wild guesses here folks.

Starts on low.
Has some pulses on low and medium, but anybody familiar with the 361 should know that.


Anyway, these babies are suh-WEEEEEET!

Besides this I recently picked up another light with 3000K 219's and these blow it away.

Stopped by the post office. Front desk was closed so I will have to go to the self serve kiosk at the other post office on the other side of town on the way to work. I will get these out folks! Last 4 boxes will be in the mail hell or high water.

Wow. This is my new favorite light by far. Can't wait to get the high low ring in it.

I'll be posting pictures later mine just got here and dropped in in my MD2 hi/lo ring.

OH MY! It was just what I was looking for.

How low do the lows actually get with the ring?

 

[nimdabew]

I am glad people are pleased. It was a lot of work to put it together, especially since we had to wait for parts etc, and the drop-ins are meeting expectations.

Well I'm sorry to say I'm not going to be using my hi/lo ring with these.they are to erratic. Hi/lo rings seemed to work just fine with my standard m361 but not these bad boys. The highs were pretty stable but the lows would often not change or start high and get lower. Really no big deal. I still have 3 solid levels of light now and the spacing looks great to me. Really zero complaints on them! But if you do get it to work the low is VERY low. Think hds on lowest setting.

 

[thermal guy]

Yes nimdabew I'm betting it was can't thank you enough. Also can't believe I haven't brought this up before but a big thank you to GENE for letting this happen is probably in order 😄

 

[hron61]

Received my 219C 3000k today also.
Thank you and thank you gene malkoff.
Tonite I'll put some diffuse film on the bezel lens.
I'm loving the tint even more in person.
Again... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Mine should be here Monday or Tuesday. If it doesn't work I'll run my M60 in the MD2 and my 361 in my seraph host. Can't go wrong either way.

I have been running an M361N in an MD2 host with H/L ring as delivered by Malkoff with no issues. The lows are very, very low (think HDS Rotary lows) but are great for situations where you only need minimal light. No problems with my setup.

Thank you sir for taking this on and dealing with all of the details. It is much appreciated. Looking forward to receiving mine.

Yep my m361 works great with my hi/lo ring. But theses do not. Oh they work from time to time but not reliable. And as I said not really a big deal 3 levels is plenty.

Do you just leave the head tightened (for the 3 higher levels) or do you have to remove the high-low ring and reinstall the regular retainer for non-wonky operation?
