Just saw a photo over at CPF Marketplace. Hand engraving is a nice personal touch

I have a couple of M60LFs I love for hiking, but a warm version would be amazing!
The only one I have is an M60LL... which is an odd and amazing drop-in due to it's weird ability to run forever on two alkaline AAs.

Nice!
Pulled the trigger on an A113 hi/lo kit that comes with 2 spare cells and a lanyard ring.
Love my Coast HP1, but I get blasted with 220 lumens everytime. The A113 gives me the option of 5 lumens to start with.

Really like mine. Tint is warm but that's great for color rendering. Only thing I would like to see, is RCR support.
Glad to hear you like it.
I had pulled the trigger before discovering it doesn't have the Malkoff LED. But I can live with that.
It's meant to be a partner to the Sure Fire Gx2 Pro I have. Bought that one knowing you get what you get with the head. Same with the Alpha.
Seems to be meant as a bad guy blinder at close quarters and not some football field length spotlight. That and USA made are why I picked it over the others on my wishlist.

Elzetta always recommends the use of primaries for critical use situations. That does not mean that Li-Ions can't be used when the light is in an EXC, non-tactical role. I believe Jim asked them if Li-Ions are safe to use and was told that they are.
I use an IMR 16340 exclusively in an Alpha, and it works great, with a significant bump in output.

In that case, I've to try my Eagletac
Unless things have changed...
Every time I'd set something that contains rechargeables down for a couple of weeks I'd have near dead or dead batteries.
So I haven't been interested in any rechargables expect eneloops.
Now if todays crop of rechargeables have shelf life like the eneloops...or my Dell duo laptop I'm all over that.
Do the batteries you guys use hold a charge? A month or two?

My Eagletac branded 16340 holds his charge well. Charge every li-ion I've each 2-3 months when not used.
Yes, all my Li-Ion and IMR cells hold a charge for multiple months with little reduction in resting voltage. It sounds like your cells need to find a new home.

Thanks!!!
I haven't used rechargeables in years. It's why I was asking.

Mine hold a charge for a year or so easily. Main reason why I switched
^^ and with that I pulled the trigger on some nite cores and a charger.
Thanks for the answers. Sounds like 015 is a great time to have rechargeables...03 was not.

Used my Alpha for a three day camping trip in Big 5 country. I am in love with this light. The low beam works for everything up close, while the high provides plenty light to check the surrounding bushes to see if something with big teeth isn't stalking you.
The warmish tint helps with colour rendering (doing owl spotting at night, and checking the meat on the fire).
4 nights of intense use now and the battery is still going strong, which was my only concern with this light.
