Place hand over Maglite, instant red filter.
Lousy throw though.

when you have this kind of drop in, you can't focus right?

Just a quick comparison review of the C and D drop ins. I had the copper D cell drop in and picked up one of the new C cell prototypes done in aluminum. I was going to put it in a 2C Maglite my mother has, but it turned out her 2C's serial number doesn't start with a C, indicating the older version which doesn't work with the Malkoff. I found a 4C Maglite locally, and the Malkoff fit in perfectly, replacing the original bulb and the bulb retaining ring. You also need to trim the narrow neck off your reflector or pick up one pre-cut from Malkoff.

The 4C Maglite is just a fraction of an inch longer than the 3D version, but has a thinner, more comfortable grip, and is much lighter. Despite being thinner and lighter, it has a VERY solid feel. Another nice thing about the 4C is the checkered grip section is larger (longer) than on the 3D. I'm not sure if there's a difference in the C and D heads, but the C version I've got seems to focus tighter than the D version, YMMV. The 4C at 6 volts is just a bit brighter than the 3D at 4.5 volts. I hear the difference is something like 1100mA vs 1000mA drive current. The 3D is supposed to out run the 4C in regulation ~6 hrs to ~3.5 hrs.

I was very impressed with the Malkoff at 6volts. I took it out to a park and it's a monster. Not only was it lighting up buildings at a distance, but the spill was lighting up the grass in front of me rather brightly.

The prototype C Mag drop in is going for $55, and it works just as well as the more expensive D Mag version. If you can trade off some run time for lighter weight and an easier grip, you'll find this is a real bargain.

The module retains the focusing ability of the flashlight.
The LED has that large smooth hot spot and you can make it wider or tighter.

oh, i thought because there was no cam for the reflector that it would lose it's focusability. what a dropin

The unofficial red filter is also the unofficial integrating sphere. Slap your hand over the light of your choice and compare.

Beamshots would be nice too.

I'll give it a try sometime, but it'll take awhile.

I raise the unoffical "Malkoff red filter" with the unofficial "Malkoff Hand". Kinda like "Garand Thumb."

I have another one coming, so I hope that install goes a little easier. :thumbsup:

Hello Gene,

My friend showed me his huge 4D maglight because I told him about your conversion. Unfortunately , his big 4 D mag does not have that magic letter "D" precede the serial number.

Does that mean he is out of luck becaus the earlier D mag has larger diameter so it may not fit tight enough?

[Gene43]

Yes Henry, unfortunately the diameter is too large and it won't fit.

Hello Gene,

My friend wants to buy a new Mag 3D so that he can use your pill. I went to your website but cound't find where to place order.

Could you reserve one for me? I can c/c paypal the fund to you if you let me have your account. Thanks.

Henry
