EagleTac M2SC4...

[csshih]

Hello, IPX-8??? But I'd have tp agree with DM51's post here.
There have been a few threads on IPX-8 and water proofing, so I won't change the topic here. 🙂

yes, and if you've read the threads, you'd know that IPX-8 means:

"Protected against water submersion - The equipment is suitable for continual submersion in water under conditions which are identified by the manufacturer."

no standard. it's whatever the manufacturer wants.

I don't get it, why MCE over P7?

 

[AardvarkSagus]

They are offering both flavors. The MC-E is supposed to be a bit of a balance between the throw of the M2X (3 XR-E) and the flood of the M2 (P7)

Craig, I have read those threads... hence why I said:

Craig, I have read those threads.

right. a standard that has of no importance to flashlights, and is completely useless.

Anyone got one yet? Still waiting for a review.

 

[AardvarkSagus]

Not yet. Coming eventually though.

Just received my neutral M2SC4...

on low

on max

compare to Surefire G3 with stock P90

😀

 

[Lazyboy]

I'll be getting mine soon too. Rookiedaddy just beat me to it. Think both ours go here in the same batch.

Good pics!:twothumbs

Great Pics, thanks for sharing. I had a M2SC4 Cool White out last night showing it for a few people and its amazingly bright, with great throw for a MC-E, Ill compare it to the Jetbeam M1X tonight, the M1X is close to the M2XC4 in throw so I dont expect the Eagletac M2SC4 to be close but we'll see tonight 😀

here are a few more photos on M2SC4 😉

Tail-standing

Quad-emittor Cree MC-E 11W LED in K-Bin 5A, Neutral White

contact point

the new tail-cap using polycarbonate material, guess that's to improve waterproofness and no more messing with tiny o-rings. :twothumbs

using small reflective tape to mark the positions of the various level.

my unit's selector/rotary ring is very stiff, I've tried a few silicone grease of various viscosity, including Nyogel 760g. Finally settled down with McNett AquaSeal silicone grease.

the paracord clip looks tougher than the previous version.

Can you tell us about effective range of M2sc4 ?
I am considering replace my new M2XC4 with this mc-e version.

Has anyone considered using the M2SC4 as a host for a SST50?

The SST50 is very very similar to an MC-E in physical dimensions. The circuit on the M2C4 which I assume would be similar in the M2SC4 is very easy to change to bump current up to 3.2A.

Just got my "M2SC4 MkII". I like the color temp better than my M2C4 (MkI). But geez, the control ring is tight! On my first M2, I can easily operate the light one-handed. With this one, I need to hold the light in one hand and use the other to turn the ring. Lame!

I think I saw some complaints about ring tightness on the MkII versions of these lights. Is there a fix?

don't have a M2XC4 to compare, but i think M2SC4 throw is comparable to M2XC4. from naked eye, it throws slightly better than Fenix TK40. my M2SC4 is neutral white and TK40 is cool white, this is subjective and may not be a good comparison as my eyes tend to lean towards seeing better with neutral white tint so YMMV. however, it can easily illuminate an area of ~200 meters brightly.

try some low viscosity grease. I hope it will be smoother after some "work-in"

hmmm,... something interesting stuff here.
But they better improve the quality of the selector ring's rubber.
I had my M2XC4 neutral for less than a few hours under normal usage and the rubber is already starting to peel off.

 

[clumma]

I was thinking about filing the nub on the inside of the ring a bit... not sure that would help though.

WAIT....................

Is it me or did they spelling something wrong?

Oops! Hold onto that one, it'll be a collector's item.

 

[DimeRazorback]

That's hilarious!!

Why didn't they just print it in full horizontally??

Or use the eagle logo??

:shrug:
