Malkoff M61W

[mwaldron]

I just got an email from Malkoff that the M61W is in stock.

Well, that's not true. I ordered mine and THEN came here to tell everyone else. 19 left guys.

...The input voltage is 3.4 - 9 volts. Below 3.4 volts it will drop out of regulation and run direct drive. The output is approximately 240 measured out the front lumens. The current draw is only 650ma at 6 volts. The full output runtime is approximately 2 hours on two CR123 primary batteries with a nice long taper as voltage drops. It will easily illuminate objects at 350+ feet and will blind opponents within a 100 foot radius. The LED is a Cree XP-G.

Only 20lm less than the M61 and the same current consumption/run time.

Can't wait for this baby to show up!

I got the same and am very tempted because I love the M61. I think I will defer because I am trying to save for a Haiku. :candle:

I hear ya, I'm not sure I'm going to like the non-optic beam but since it's from Malkoff I'm going to give it a chance.

The one great thing about Malkoff's though, they have wonderful resale value if you don't like them.

I think you will love the M61W. I have a M60W and a M61. They are both great and the M61W should be even better. The spot to flood transition is great on the M61. Wonderfully designed reflector.

Thanks for the heads up brother. I just ordered one.

Ah such bad timing on these new Malkoff units!

Oh I'll catch them in a month or two I'm sure. 😱oo:

 

[ToNIX]

I'm tempted, a lot... I will wait to see some beamshots compared to the M61 though.

 

[ninemm]

So very tempting. Don't have a Malkoff drop in yet. Maybe I'll sell my V3 triple and get one of these. :devil:

Just ordered mine, love these Malkoffs.

 

[oldways]

Thanks for the advisory. Just ordered mine. 12 left.

 

[jonesy]

I accidentally ordered one as well. It should accidentally make a great addition to my MD2. 😀

Thanks for the heads up, just got back from the beach! (glad I checked in) lovecpf

3.4 to 9v? So, this will run, if briefly, on a single RC123 or 17670? Can anyone guestimate the runtime on a an RCR?

Just search out the forums for the M61 runtime. The M61W draws the same power so will have the same runtime on any given battery type.

I really hate checking into CPF. 4 days ago I read about the M61L coming out, ordered it. 2 days I read about the M61LL, ordered that. Today I see the M61W. Am I going to order that? I really don't know since getting a box from Gene every 2 days is making my wife very, very suspicious.

Off the track though, I am very happy with the M61L and M61LL. These 2 modules are now my EDC's replacing my M30F on 3xAA's.

Going to Gene's site now and try not to drain my card anymore than I already have this week.

My first Malkoff is on the way. In fact it's my first XP-G. I've been waiting on neutral (and based on output and description I am guessing it's actually a neutral or "outdoor" emitter not warm.) This is it.

I'm holding off for the M31W .........PayPal standing by Gene :devil:

 

[ecallahan]

When I read the title of the thread, I thought it was going to be a thread asking when/if Gene would think of making the M61W. I didn't know he was even working on these! Just snagged one, thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, sorry about that. I realized the problem after I posted it but you can't edit topics so it was set in stone.
