MC-E Devices Over Here

[BenChiew]

I know the MC-E is not all that popular if compared with the other emitters such as XM-L, XP-G, etc etc. But I love the MC-E for the flood that it creates.
If you have any MC-E devices with you, please share them in this thread with possibly a picture or two.
This is a fun thread, nothing serious, so anything MC-E will be gladly appreciated.

MY MC-E Devices / Lights.

1. Elektrolumens EDC MC-E.
Runs on a single 18650 in direct drive. Crazily bright wall of light.

With UV on emitter.

2. Elektrolumens Angle Lux MC-E
Runs on 2 D cell battery with some crazy runtime. Perfect for power outage use.
It comes with several colored filters where you can replace the lens and you will get diffused, red or blue light.

Just realized that there is a filter included that gives "moon mode"

3. McGizmo Sundrop XRU MC-E
This is a 3v light engine which is fitted with a warm MC-E. A very small run was made for the Japanese market.

Thanks for starting this thread ... I, too, am a fan of MC-E :D

My own favorite MC-E is a milky Gossamer. I am not much of a photographer, though :shrug:

I really wish I had an MC-E Aleph/McGizmo LE - very cool ! :thumbsup:

 

[BenChiew]

Thanks for stopping by Don.
McGizmo made 6 of these MC-E Sundrop XRU for a shop in Japan some years back.
I hope to see more cool stuff that this emitter resides.

I miss my Fenix TK40, it had an MCE, beautiful beam

I've got a 5B tint MC-E P60 from Nailbender and I love it. :)

I wish I could try out a boom reflector MC-E like the Alpha/Dark Sucks lights and the Elektro Lumens to see how those compare to a 'regular' OP reflector

Ledil boom reflector works great with MC-E. I think you can even buy just the reflector alone from Prometheus (for modding) ....

I ain't ever getting rid of my TK40!


It surely isn't the brightest out there, but it's a legend and classic in it's own right. I saw one used on Amazon for $125. I think they may be garnering collector status already.

I love the tint and beam profile of my Solarforce Masterpiece Pro-2, which is whiter and more floody compared to my Fenix TK35.

Radical! I love it!

My 2 MC-E lights: Eagletac M2SC4 and 4Sevens Quark RGB (both neutral white versions)

The LED on the EAGTAC is fine; it just looks funky in this picture. Weird angle and lighting, I think.

 

[Illum]

My workbench light is MC-E, would a picture of that count?

Yes please, keep them coming.

Never really realized that there are so many of them out there.

I bought 1 Quark RGB (Cool White) and 1 Quark RGB (Neutral White) that use the CREE MC-E RGBW die. Nice not to have to mess around with changing filters. Couple these with some 18650 bodies and it's a nice combo. I use them only occassionally now. They are very, very floody, pretty much useless at distances greater than 10-15 feet though.

I don't have any pics to post. It's unfortunate that 4sevens is redirecting their old site to their new one. The new one doesn't have the history of their earlier (and now discountinued) models.

I found this review though:

My only MC-E is my Prometheus Alpha MC18B from Jason at Dark Sucks. Such a great setup.

Solarforce MPP2 modded with a mcclicky by vob.

Ben, I like that MC-E SunDrop; very nice!

Here's mine: BOOM!

 

[BenChiew]

Wow, I am pleasantly surprised that the MC-E has found its way into many other lights that I was not aware of.
The Quark RGB is about the only one using the MC-E RGB and that is an interesting light.
Prometheus Alpha is another one that I missed out. I had a chance to buy the TK40 sometime back but didn't. Not sure why it did not jump at me.
Elektrolumens uses the Ledil Boom reflector in his lights and it does a good job with MC-E.
I hope to see more lights. Thank you for your invaluable contributions to this thread.

I love the angle lux too. Gives it a new life to the WW2 relic.
