I got my Malkoff M60 MC-E today!

[Big_Ed]

My Malkoff M60 MC-E arrived in the mail today. I opened it up, and put it in my Surefire 6P. I pressed the switch, and OH BOY! 500 lumens of Malkoff goodness! It puts out more light than any flashlight I own. And talk about a smooth beam! Perfect. The tint is a very nice white, maybe just a hint on the blue side of the spectrum.

This thing makes my trusty old Surefire L4 (Lux V) look silly in terms of brightness and tint. The L4 is much dimmer and greener in comparison. And I always thought my L4 was really bright. The MC-E will be replacing my L4 on my belt when I'm at work.

I also ordered one of Malkoff's VME heads, so I think I might try to put the MC-E on the L4 body. That'll keep the whole thing a bit thinner. That should arrive soon.

Also in the package today was an M60-LL. I put it in my Surefire G2L. It's almost exactly the same brightness as the original Surefire LED module, but with a bit tighter of a spot, and should have a much longer runtime at maximum brightness to boot! It seems to be about the best light for general use.

If anyone is on the fence wondering if they should buy the Malkoff M60 MC-E (or any other Malkoff drop-in, for that matter) go for it! You won't regret it. They really do live up to the hype. And they're American made, which is another bonus.

Gene and Cathy, you rock! Keep up the good work!
Now I just can't wait for it to get dark outside!

Sounds great. :thumbsup: Enjoy your "new" toy.

I have a couple of G2's laying around that I will soon upgrade with drop-ins from Malkoff.

I'm thinking of getting the M60 and the M60W.

Just make sure your G2's have the metal head. I've heard the plastic head might not dissipate heat well enough for the M60. Maybe someone else here has experience with M60's and plastic heads.

By the way, I like your avitar, Barbarian. That's from one of my favorite movies.

Tuco :devil: says thanks for the warning about the plastic head....will have to research that before purchasing.

Hey Big Ed,

I recently got the warm version. The light is so non-offensive its hard to get blinded by it even in very dark conditions. It's definitely awesome.

BTW, I grew up in your neck of the woods. '94 psycho high.

No kidding, I went to G-K, just up the road, class of '90. I know a few guys who you probably know. I probably worked with a few of them. Small world.

can only use the m60LL in the plastic head. the other malkoffs require the metal head if you're going to run it longer than 15 minutes.

What is throw like in the M60 MC-E? I doubt it compares to a M6 w/ MN21 bulb.

 

[DimeRazorback]

It is a flood based dropin, throw will be limited :thumbsup:

Some beamshots!
