The Malkoff M61!

[Bright_Light]

Yes! I want a LW........ And an LLW too 🙂

Hear, hear! Oh man... this would make for the PERFECT close-task worklight! :twothumbs

I really want as much regulated runtime as possible. Does anyone know about how much regulated runtime I would get with the MD4 with 2 18650 2600 mAh batteries? Would it be much more than 2 cr123s?

I am gonna ball park that you could increase your runteme by 50-60% with the set-up that your suggesting.

My calculations (w/ referenced data, holding wattage drains constant between the two configurations) suggest 2 x 9 wh = 18 watt-hours vs 5.2 wh from 2x CR123 = at least triple the runtime compared to 2x CR123. YMMV.

If you'd like more than that there is always the FiveMega 2x26650 P60 body plus the LiCo 4500 mAh 26650's that AW is thinking about introducing (post in his thread if your interested :devil🙂 for something like 31 watt-hours, so like 6x the runtime over 2x CR123. Fun stuff.

Just having more fun.

More testing to come, still waiting on some help to do more.

Camera is zoomed in somewhat so you can't use that to gauge distance. The "target" is 11 inches long. Distance from lights is about 30 to 33 feet range.

thanks, that's just the beginning. I need a cameraman as well as a light man, I have some cool stuff lined up, that I can't do by myself. And there is other top secret stuff on the horizon as well. Flashlights will be TESTED along with operator skills in tracking "targets". Haven't found any flashoholics to help in Cedar Rapido Iowahhhhhhhh.

The FM 2x26650 host is what I currently have my M61 in. I was going to do a runtime test but ran out of time. I cut it off at about 6 hrs and there was still plenty of charge left in the LiMN 4000mAh batteries. When I get 8 - 12 hrs of time at home I may try again.

MrGman, it is my understanding that Rothrandir lives in Cedar Rapids, and happens to like guns.

Just so you know, Rothrandir is the guy who is making the brass for the Malkoffs and all the Malkoff bodies.

I received mine a couple of hours ago...

I love it!!

Noooooo! Distract not the source of more Malkoff drop-ins!

Thanks Gene, now we know that M61 can be used to track alien choppers. 😀

For you guys that did not make the 2010 SHOT show is Vegas, Rothrandir was there, as well as Gene, plus other awesome CPF'ers (me too-LOL), and also the great "carrot".

BTW, some neat new new stuff coming from Rothrandir, on Gene's site pretty soon.

Day 2 on the M61, Love the beam its half flood, half spot and ALL GOOD.

 

[simplec6]

So does anyone know when the M61 will be back in stock on his site? I'd love to snag one...

It should be any day now. make sure you're on the mailing list. Good Luck! you'll need it.

Left my light on for about 15 minutes straight to see how the heat generation is VS heatsinking. While it's been tailstanding the whole time, the light feels lukewarm, and the module isn't much warmer than my SST-90 DD drop-in after 20 seconds.

Seems like it's just right as a user light. While it does feel underdriven at 0.9A draw, I can see now that the idea was for the light to be able to run continuously until the batteries died out.

It's still brighter than those old Maglites, and the runtime is simply delicious in a 26650 host.

The dropin's I scored were all done on Friday afternoons, just keep a sharp eye out around that time.
