Pulled the trigger on my first M61W this weekend. From the reviews so far, I think I will be pleased with it. IMO, it is hard to not be pleased with a Malkoff.

You cannot go wrong with any Malkoff module. But I am debating between M61WL and M61WLL (Or M61LL).

It should run for what seems like forever on 2x18650.

M60WLF I use that module everyday in a 9p its great for around the house and taking walks at night.
Add me to the list of Malkoff supporters. Got the MD2 with M61W and I gotta say - quality inside and out. Tint and beam offer a very usable (and for me nice) amount of light close and medium distance. I know there are a few other lights out there doing this good of a job, but mostly for more $$$. Hound Dog next...
Thanks Gene & Cathy for a great product!

I have a M61WLL on the way, I will do another runtime test on a 18650 like I did the M61WL. I got 8 hrs on the M61WL, then a hour of 10 lumens.
One thing I find interesting, the Malkoff site says the M61LL is ran at 150mA while the M61WLL is ran at 140mA. Weird, either a typo, or the M61WLL will run a tad longer. 😀

They are two different bins. The WLL is a lower flux (lumen) XP-G LED, and probably has a slightly different vf (forward voltage).

Got my M61W today and its perfect! Need to try it out at night still but it seems like its going to be great. With a M60WLF and a M61W I almost dont need any other lights.

Wow im very impressed with the m61w just what I was hoping for it still has good throw far as my eyes can see anyway and enough flood to it that nothing would sneak up on you from the sides.

I just picked up a M61W today and the build quality is very impressive. The tint is pretty good but I would've preferred a warmer tint, though I did know what I was getting into from the beginning anyway. The most surprising thing about the module was the sheer weight of the thing, it weighs a lot.
I look forward to the next generation of this module, M62W?
The bottom line is that I would buy this again with a minimum of fuss and that I would thoroughly recommend this to a friend or family member.

I find that the tint (my M31W) is perfect for my tastes. Gene recently posted in another thread that he is changing the tint from 5000K to 4000K for the W's.

Aww man... if he does that then I will not be able to resist buying another warm wildcat to compare with the 4-emitter one I already have.

As a new owner of a M61w I can say that I MUCH prefer its tint to the standard m60's and m61 that I have. Since the light is used mostly outdoors, it makes me wish all of the Malkoff's I have were the w versions. The standard ones are totally alright indoors and very good outdoors, but the m61w is just so much more pleasant to my eyes.
