In the attached picture, from the link shared, you can see the progression of the M61

07/2014 = 325 Lumens

And the price has dropped from 69usd 2010 to 46usd 2023. That’s quite a lot especially if you take inflation into account.

That’s a very good point. Hell, other light companies have Almost doubled in price

I don't know how old but just dug out a spare M61 219b v2 w/225 Lumens.
Beautiful creamy tint with a hint of pink. Sounds like I am describing a glass of wine.

I have acquired several of the older M61 drop-ins myself.
What about voltage limitations for them?

 

[thermal guy]

I believe all the M61 had a high limit of 9 volts.

Anyone know if it’s safe to use an old M61 in a plastic light like Surefire G2? The M61 is from around 2010 so it’s 260 lumens.
