    New light versus diminishing returns

    I’m very curious to hear your reasoning. Granted, I have the equipment to incorporate it readily into my current set up. But, this is the first post to say anything other than encouraging a change to Malkoff.

    The definitive Malkoff Hound Dog Super thread

    What has you thinking of adding a cool? Because, I’m pretty sure you were talking me into the neutral. lol

    New light versus diminishing returns

    I already started another thread on cool vs neutral as that is a big....wow...overwhelming decision I didn't realize I would need to make. haha Thanks to StagMoose, I AM looking at the M61 Hot MD2 and a couple other models in that range. So...I may start with one of those. I'm not a fast...

    Neutral vs Cool on Malkoff HD Super?

    I'm going to try posting a side by side of the only two comparable beamshots I have so far: Neutral from JRGold: Cool, from StagMoose: Honestly, based on the pictures, both seem to give great colour rendition compared to the streamlights. But, they are also different enough to not give a...

    Neutral vs Cool on Malkoff HD Super?

    Wish it were possible to simply “like” people’s posts here. So much good insight. The bit about cutting through fog and drizzle better made me inherently more interested in a warmer light. However, with the “cool” being decently warm, would it still accomplish this or would it be best to go...

    Neutral vs Cool on Malkoff HD Super?

    And. Yes. I truly appreciate your long response in that thread and sharing the shots. The one downside is that my wife wanted to see and is now begging for the HD Super. And...maybe we will ultimately build a collection. Several of the lights shown look very impressive. You do hit on a point...

    Neutral vs Cool on Malkoff HD Super?

    My first foray into the realm of good flashlights was my first incandescent Maglight. Loved it. Bought a few more until I discovered Surefire and Streamlight. Which, to my knowledge only do cool tinted LEDs. I’m fine with it. And have always purchased Streamlight and been very happy. Never...

    New light versus diminishing returns

    1) How would you prefer to purchase the light? ____I would like to purchase the light in person from a brick and mortar store. I am located in ______________. __X__This will be mail-order or Online (location doesn't matter). 2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after...

    New light versus diminishing returns

    Thank you for all the welcomes! After this bit of advice, I definitely feel better investing in a Malkoff. With the requests of suggestions, it was more of a “will the HD Super really fit my needs” and the suggestion of looking into the M61 line was exactly that. Other offerings certainly worth...

    Neutral vs Cool on Malkoff HD Super?

    Currently in the market for a new light. Malkoff has been on my radar for a while and one reason being that they offer a neutral/ warm option. Been really considering the Hound Dog Super. If I choose this model I’ve heard its neutral is excessively warm and it’s cool is more of a real neutral...

    New light versus diminishing returns

    Thank you! I knew I forgot something. Lol. Budget really isn’t of too much concern provided the return on investment is there. I have no qualms spending $300 on a light. Issue is that a new Strion can be had for $86 with the HP head. To invest that much more money.....just need assurance that...

    New light versus diminishing returns

    In the market for a new flashlight. Been using Streamlight for years and really enjoy using my Strion HP. However, recently my wife has gotten us more into exploration of rural and abandoned urban areas. The Strion has never let me down, and though I have no complaints, would like something with...
