New Malkoff Flashlight: MD2 (Part 2)

[MrGman]

No, your SolarForce bezel without glass would be fine. Am looking at any differences there might be noted comparing the Kroll switch with your switch used with the SolarForce body using two CR123's or two RCR123's, using the same testing procedure you used with the MD2. In the end maybe the only difference will be the deeper set of the M60 in the MD2. I am thinking that maybe Gene has done a good service by offering a nice high current Kroll switch, and one I will buy (actually several). Previous Krolls have had high resistance, but Gene has asked for better from the Kroll switch maker, Judco.

Actually spoke to Gene yesterday and one of the things he mentioned was that these newer Kroll switches were improved and good up to 4 amps and I think he said at least 100 thousand actuations.

But I will try and do that test Wednesday Night. If you come over with the pizza that will help the testing go faster. No excuses that you live in another state. 😗

MrGman, well you went to the San Jose BBQ, so you must live in CA like me. Woodland, CA just outside of Sacramento. Love to bring some Pizza, but holed up here for awhile. Thanks, for response.

Did somebody say pizza?

Hey there. Long time no see. Saw you last at 08 PK party. I think that MrGman is having pizza and inviting everyone over. He needs more pizza for the testing. :devil:

Oops, am I getting off topic here? Isn't this thread about pizza and lumen testing?

Personally, I'd like to see the output charts on round pie vs. Sicilian. I prefer the round, but Sicilian seems to give better runtime.

Thin, crispy crust with light sauce. Spinach, olives, ham, hot pepper seeds, and mushrooms. With a second cheese layer of provolone.
I forgot to make the witty flashlight reference, mind's firmly on pizza now.
😱

If Gene made pizzas insteade of m60s... Drool

How about one with 700-800 OTF pepperonis.

DAMN! you guys are making me hungry!!!


I'm all set for pizza and its almost time to go to bed!!!

 

[Bullzeyebill]

Might end up with 700-800 OTR pepperonis. 😱

Talk about runtime!!! 😱


:toilet:

 

[Sgt. LED]

AW!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's totally worth it. :thumbsup:

 

[MrGman]

what have I done???

So back on topic. I plan on running my newest M60 off the DC power supply and see if I can crank out some more lumens. Nobody commented on the fact that turn on with 2 RCR batteries was 242 lumens versus turn on with 2 primaries was only 229. First I will try 2X18650 then 3 primaries and then go to the DC supply and ease it up past 9V and see what happens.

I really like the low mode feature on this thing. I was showing it off to my fiancee and she really liked it and asked if she could have it.

I said honey, I would give you my world, I would move mountains, .....



NO.

I flew in just for the custom pan pizzas on my personal light engine powered hovercraft from an undisclosed location. The kielbasa (sp?) well that was just icing on top of the proverbial cake. 😛

More will be added at a later date.

Going back in the thread a ways, has anyone by now added a UCL lens to the MD2 and if so, how did you assemble it - MD2 bezel -> rubber gasket -> lens -> drop-in, or did you add another gasket between the drop-in and lens? And does the assembly leave any part of the o-ring exposed? Any spill cutoff resulting from the additional ~2mm of recess of the drop-in caused by the thickness of the lens?

Thanks in advance.

I've just been flicking through this thread and can't believe that Gene chose to use a Kroll switch, I've had trouble with them in the past as have other members. They have a reputation for high resistance and unreliability.
