How is your M-1 set up?

[SolarMan]

I Love my M-1. I'm just wondering how you set yours up!

I've got:

Led:Cree
Reflector:Smooth
Battery:18650
Switch:1 stage hi/off
Switch cover:GITD

How about you?

Yeah, the Lumapower M1 is definitely one of my favorites. Hoping the upgrade kit to the M1-R will also cover the version I have. As to the details:

Led:Cree
Reflector:OP
Batteryrimaries
Switch:2 stage lo/hi/off
Switch cover:GITD

That's it?

This light was huge;and nobody cares enough now to post how theirs is configured?

Is it yesterdays news that fast? (Now that everyone is excited about the M1-R)?

C'mon!

Hi, is it alot brighter with the Q5? did the tint change?

Thanks

Yeah, I like my M1-R a lot also. I had an M1 and was hesitant to sell it to fund the M1-R. I was not let down. Great all round use light. Built tough, and bright as....well.....where :devil: lives.

Led:Rebel 100
Reflector: OP
Battery: 123a Primaries
Switch: 2 stage reverse clicky low/high

You will notice the difference. Unfortunately I do not have a lightmeter. I would guess 15-20%. The tint is more white then the slightly yellow tint of the original.
I have a M1-R on the way so i can compare when it arrive.

P.S.: I thing the thread title would be better like this "How is your LumaPower M1 set up?", to generate more replys

I have a couple first generation M-1s set up the same way - with the SSC module, orange peel reflector, single stage clickie switch, and running an 18650. Fantastic indoor use lights!
