    The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

    I got my M61L 219 this past Monday, so far I'm not seeing much difference as far as color rendition goes. It makes reds look a bit better, but the standard m61 looks better to me. The 219 seems to make everything just a bit yellow. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

    Dual purpose light

    Surefire E1e or E2e with the low output MN02 (25 lumen) lamp assembly. They are not regulated but hold there output fairly well till the battery is about done. The only regulated incandescent I know of is the Surefire A2 which is probably way too bright for checking a steak. The 25 lumen MN02...

    Flashlight for Grandma!

    A couple I found while browsing on brightguy. The side switch is difficult to find. http://www.brightguy.com/products/Bright_Star_Razor_LED_Flashlight.php This one runs on 3 AA rated at 60 lumens. Looks like direct drive so lithium batteries are out. Available in bright green and orange...

    Surefire L7

    Well to my eyes the 6P lets me see a bit farther. Not much but a bit. When I was shining both lights at the edge of a wooded area 100 or so feet away and the 6P with P60 lit up the trees a little better.

    Surefire L7

    Got an L7 for christmas and have had 0 issues with it. Very simple switching, twist the bezel for constant on and press tail button for momentary. There is no tailcap on this light, the tail button just pushes the battery forward so it makes contact with the bezel. I think part of the reason...

    Security Department flashlights

    Depending on how soon you need them the new 2AA and 3AA Led Mini-Mags might be worth looking at. Streamlight Propolymer 4AA luxeon would probably work well too.

    SF LED failure caused by impact?

    Kl3 old style on a 6P fell about 6 feet and landed bezel first on concrete, put a dent in the bezel and tiny knick on the tailcap. The same light took at least 2 drops from about waist height (3ft) onto the sidewalk with only cosmetic damage. Both of my Kl1s 1 old and 1 new style have hit the...

    What's your favorite surefire LED?

    L7 Bright and white, whitest of my led lights. Rechargable, no worries of wastin those pesky 123s. No clips, combat grips or other "features" to get in the way and snag on things. Very simple switch, both contacts are at the front of the battery and go directly to the bezel springs, not a...

    flashlight reliability ratings

    Old Style KL3- 5 Arc LSL Arc LSH - 4 maybe a 3.5 Arc LSHF The KL3 took a 6 foot drop onto concrete and shrugged it off, couple of drops from waist high onto sidewalks also shrugged off. It has a few knicks and dents in the bezel but works just fine. No lens fractures either. The...

    Why brass over aluminum?

    I think it's mainly for looks.

    The longest time you've been continuously awake?

    Re: The longest time you\'ve been continuously awake? About 70 hours give or take. Just to see if I could. Unfortunately no hallucinations . Crawlin into bed sure felt good though.
