Malkoff M30W & High Low Ring?

[senna94]

I posed the following question to Gene Malkoff.


I have an MD2 and am running a Malkoff M30W in it. Will the MD2 High Low
ring work with the M30W?


His response:

The h/l ring was designed for use with the M6x series so I really don't know. Might be a question for the forums.

Has as anyone used a h/l ring on their M30W? I would like to know before I try it. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks!

Not with hi lo ring but I've used it with mce2s before. Different but same idea I suppose.

Good luck!

I think that will work, but the low level might be different though.

It works, but the Low is quite low. With a M30W I measured something like 5700 lux on High @ 1 meter versus 55 lux on Low (with an 18650).

I think the mode spacing is fine on a m30w with a hi-lo ring and a 18650. dim, but not too dim.

something else to consider. With my M31L and a High/Low ring installed I can only get to low by turning the light on in high and then twisting the head to low. I cannot start up on low. Its a quirk that would require a different resistor to fix i believe.

Thanks for all the info guys. I don't mind a low low so it looks like this will work for me.

I'm late to the party, but: I'm running a M31LL on two AAs with a high/low ring and it works fine. Very, very low, but more than enough light to navigate a dark bedroom without waking anyone up.

do you have the same quirk as I do Tmedina with having to switch to low by turning on in high and switching to low from there?
