Re: The NEW New Malkoff 1600 Lumen Wildcat
. . . Okay, folks. I pulled a few beam shots of some well known lights and added a couple shots from the Wildcat.

Nice job with the beamshots. You have some awesome lights for comparisons :thumbsup:
. . . This one is more like 50 yards. I have to see the photos of how it appears in use, to see if I think it's something that I can use . . .
Like you already noted, this one is
nothing like the previous Wildcats with regard to reach. I think it's fair to say it can reach 50 yards but I don't think it will go much farther than that.
I don't know where you are in TN, but if you can make your way up toward Bowling Green, KY I can let you try it for yourself!
Ha!! I knew you'd be getting one.....just wasn't sure if you were lucky enough to get in on the first batches.
I'm having a hard time envisioning my M91AW with roughly twice the output. It sounds seriously impressive.
I was very lucky. I just happened to browse through Gene's site 30 minutes before he sent the e-mail notification. My second thought was, "WOW, I need to let the guys on CPF know about this!" Of course my first thought was, "I better order one for myself before those guys on CPF find out!" :devil:
I haven't measured lux but I think the M91A (cool white) might have a little more throw (I use that term very loosely) than the 5000K Wildcat. In terms of tint and beam pattern, the Elzetta Charlie with the flood lens is the closest match I have, but of course it's not nearly as powerful. I wish I had two flood optics for the Elzettas so I could do a two against one comparison!
I really don't have anything that compares directly to the Wildcat so I'm trying to think up what I should use for beamshot comparisons. So far I'm thinking of the V4 Wildcat, Elzetta Charlie (with and without flood optic), OVEREADY Triple (Neutral) and the Hound Dog. I'm welcome to other suggestions.
