Already having many Malkoff Devices, I REALLY wanted something to revitalize my old Patrol Streamlight so I emailed Gene and asked him what it would take to get him to make some LED drop-ins for me and my partners. Of course, Gene immediately returned my email and made an offer on his Triple Drop In which I immediately accepted. Then the next day he called me and said "Hey, I got some new P7 reflectors in, would you like to try those instead?". Again, I immediately accepted and we went back and forth over the next few days as Gene experimented and confirmed my continual acceptance of his ideas.
What I ended up with were some beautiful Double P7 Drop Ins that are SUPER DUPER FLOODY. Gene says these are running about 900 lumens and from what I can tell from a lux-meter-ceiling-bounce-test they putting out at least as many lumens as my Triple Mag Drop In running on 4x LSD D NiMH batteries. However, these are a totally different animal and provide amazing amounts of flood and fully light up a room or any area. They are not for throw, although they light up a whole area very well for at least 35yds and of course still provide decent light out to 50Y and beyond. I have been appreciating my M60F and M60 with SF diffuser more and more for real world use, but this takes it a few extra levels above and beyond!
OK, enough talk. Here are some pics. Sorry I only had my man cave to work in since there is just too much light around my neighborhood.
My old Patrol light with just the right amount of "character"
Double Trouble
!!!Super Floody Double P7 in SL20X with 3500mAh NiMH battery!!!
OEM SL20X Bulb
M60F in 6P running on primaries
4D Mag Malkoff Triple running on 4 LSD NiMH D's
Pelican 7060 Duty Light I avoid using but not really that bad...
Surefire 10X for some incan goodness!
(All beamshots taken at 1/25, f4.0, 0.0 EV, ISO 800 )
Runtime tests result in about 1.25 hours of full brightness with the 3500mAh battery.
More practical usage info to follow as I think of it. But most importantly...
