Probably demand...Or for all we know Gene may have to offset any price changes from his parts sources. Either way, still a great price for the quality he puts into each unit.
could not agree more!

I noticed this. I looked at buying the M60 one night, and then decided to put it off until the next day 
. At which point I lost a tasty sandwich :sigh:.
Side note, I now have said M60. Does anyone else have it where the corona of the hotspot is lopsided? It's fine in use, and I might just be beam spoiled by my Surefire and Novatac beams, but I'm wondering if people usually get nice round beams.

I have noticed this in the last M60L, two M60WLs and M30 which I have purchased... Its almost like a crescent moon shape right? I have meant to email Gene but have been too lazy. I still love em all
My older Malkoffs are a perfectly defined hotspot circle - they are gorgeous...

Don't forget, coupon code CPF gets a 10% discount. Its strange, some of them do not have a perfectly round hotspot even though the lens is perfectly lined up. The lens holder snaps over the LED so its kind of a goof proof assembly. Investigation has lead me to believe its due to inconcistencies in the LED's themselves. Kind of a "Cree Lottery".
Thanks, Gene

Ahh, yes, like the small beam artifact you and I discussed. If only the LED's themselves were up to Malkoff standards.
The $55 price being asked for a Malkoff is actually tremendous value when you consider the quality, performance and durability of the product. When you also factor in Gene's aftercare it is IMHO a very reasonable price to pay.
In life I've learnt that you get what you pay for and if you want quality you will pay for it! A Malkoff is, just that, a quality product.:twothumbs

I have just ordered one and with CPF discount it came to around $79 to the UK.
Have you calculated in customs charges though? Handing alone is around £10.

I think handling is £8 so you have a good point!
Still, I'm not saying it isn't worth it. I can justify it by believing it's the best I can get and there's no way to get it cheaper. When I have some spare pennies again an M60 is still on my list, and I'm confident once I have it I won't regret it, even if it comes to $100.

I did, esp. since I ordered my first one on Saturday. I also snagged a drop in for my Mag 3D. I couldn't bear to have it sitting idly by!
Just to be clear:
I hope I didn't give the impression that $55 was too much to pay in my original post. It was not meant to be a gripe, a complaint or anything negative. I was just curious at the re-increase in price...
Honestly, (I hope Gene isn't reading) I would pay $65+ in a heartbeat for these guys - I can't imagine not having them, and, out of all my lights, the Malkoffs make up 75% of my usage.
For me, flashahoic and Malkoff go hand in hand.
