Oh, you're the lucky dog who got that deal from dhunley1. Nice catch.
On the MDC, is the serial number on the head? Or the battery tube? I don't own one, so I can't compare.
Thanks! Yes it is on the head. Sorry about the photo quality

NH, Photo really shows off the pretty machine bevels along the Tricap edges, what sweet angles!
It's such a capable light for so many outdoor purpose, it's tough not to like. Congrats on the purchase!
Can you please post a picture of LED inside?
I'm always curious about serial numbers. In particular, why is it that only Hound Dogs have serial numbers etched into the head of the flashlight? Well, I don't have any of the smaller MDC variety, so I can't speak to that point. But none of my MDX heads have serial numbers.
My HD 18650 has serial number 0295. I purchased it in August of last year. What's on yours?
Just joined the Hound Dog 18650 (neutral) club. What a fantastic light. 0421 s/n.
Does anybody know what the predicted Low runtime would be?
INFRNL did some extensive run time testing recently, including some low beam tests. I believe you can find his data on this thread a few pages back. If I weren't rushing out the door for work, I'd go back and find them for you. The short answer is that the low beam runs for a really, really, really long time.

Is it possible to run the hd 18650 on 2x primaries? I think this light has 6v max input. With a load i would think primaries would be safe to use but it may be borderline, idk.
Also, i think I ran a low mode 18650 test several months back for the hd 18650 but not sure where my notes are. If i recall, it ran for nearly 40 hrs before I called the test.
Maybe at some point I'll think about it but it should run for a very long time being it only puts out around 30lm iirc
Just now doing a run-time test on the Super Hound-Dog, neutral tint, on the low setting. Using 2x18650, with 3400 mAh capacity, in the MD4 host.
So far, I am at 22 hours and there is still plenty of light left. Eye-balling it, it may have started to fall out of regulation. Will continue tomorrow, I hope, until the light stops or at least gets to be not very usable (moonlight).
On the high setting, I get a run-time close to the "official", Malkoff-website, posted time.
OK, test now completed (I am quoting myself to have final results together).
Malkoff Super Hound-Dog on low just went out, at close to 24 hours.
This is excellent information. Thank you.
When you say that the high beam run time was close to the official specs, do you mean that is was regulated for one hour? Or was there a decline? I've never run my Super until battery cut off.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but the HD 18650 is an awesome light. The neutral tint is warmer than any of my other neutral Malkoffs, and i really like it. The low is great for general use and the high is great for when I want blast out some light while still being "practical". I really like that I can just toss it in my coat pocket since it's nice and cold now, too.
