The M2D CENTURION is pure unobtainium, I didn't even know they actually produced some prototypes - I remember seeing this in some old Surefire catalog and thinking about it... A piece of history.

What kind of lamp does the M2D take? I'm guessing it has a one-off bespoke bulb, but any info on regulator voltage? Cool stuff!

M2D is probably on led since it has what appears to be a KL2 Head. It might even have same thread as the M3.. just my assumption though.
Nope…
We had talked with PK in FB group about it and he said it has electronics similar to A2 Aviator and keeps constant output until batteries are dead.
The only thing i'm not sure if it uses standard P60 drop in or it's E1 style.
RAT can confirm

Its is not a P60 drop in as its a bit bigger than that. You are right its more like a E1 style but bigger see pics. I know very little info on it and also found out more about this light recently on the FB group talk with PK.

I have no info on the bulb but this is it.

To the member who I just refused to sell the M2D light too (in the PM's) I should explain more to you why. This is a very rare light really the only one in the world when you think about it. I would hate to see this light turned into a user after being so well looked after all these years (15 years in my hands alone) and end up being scratched or marked it really belongs in the hands of a collector.
I know I probably will have no control what the buyer ends up doing with this light but I hope it ends up in the hands of a collector and kept in mint condition.
Hope you are ok with my reasoning.

thx
Will


Lights arrived safely!

Thanks!
That's great. So far all the lights have been arriving around the world safe and on time.

I am thinking it is a Z46 size similar to a KL2 but modified version in a way to put a similar reflector found inside a Z46 Head of an M3 Combatlight on a KL2 Head.
