The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

Agreed Tim. The illogical part is having to keep the light on for 5 seconds for it to reset to start at Low.

So if you wanted the light come on medium, you need to cycle the light to high, then bleep it on low.

Right. Or you could cycle it to low for at least 5 seconds before turning it off. It makes momentary on pretty much useless.

Or use this.

What and where do I find that?

Perfect...

LOL. I picked them up from a garbage dump outside a motorcycle shop.

I think these were used to protect a longish item for transit.
Someone more knowledgeable please chime in. Pretty sure they are some common packaging material.
I have seen the foam type covering apples in transit.

Thanks for the clarification Gene. I must have been quite a bit more tired than I thought and not left the light on for more than 5 seconds.



Yes, this is exactly what happens.


That's some tortured logic, twl I mean, you are correct that you could cycle the light to the mode just before the one you want and then turn it off and be ready to go, but that's really just a workaround for a pretty unusual UI setup.

It's not really unusual. I have some Chinese lights here that do the same thing. I would guess that there are literally millions of lights out there that work that way.
Tortured logic, or not, I use that scheme to pre-set them when I use them.

Greenbean,
I see that stuff used for wrapping piston wrist pins.

I looked it up.

Not a deal breaker for me though. I am more interested in the way malkoff has spaced the 3 levels.

Awesome, thanks!

Can anybody suggest the best way to prevent the 123A cells from rattling in my Hound Dog's MD3 body?


*Sorry for the large text. My post is bound to get lost in this messy disaster of a thread and I wanted people to see it before that happens

While waiting for the Delrin tubes from Oveready (my personal solution), you can also cut a business card to length, roll it up, and slide it in.

I knew someone would know. Thanks for that TWL.

Benchiew, thanks for posting that, what a great idea. I've done lots over the years to get rid of cell rattle, but that's brilliant. :thumbsup: I would love to run into some of that for my 2xAA in 3xCR123 bodies.

On a Surefire E2D:

I like that, I have an E2d and may look into this head,

Perfect...

McMaster-Carr sells it. It's polyethylene mesh sleeve.

 

[Greenbean]

It looked very familiar, when I got my single 123 VME body with the lanyard lug on it from J.S. Burly,
it was in that stuff, I wrapped it around an M61 I sold and should have kept it, Lol...

 

[KDM]

Yeah I got it. I've used the insert that came with a eagletac light I purchased. Two cells snap inside it securely, works great.

Glad your putting it to good use,

 

[KDM]

Ha it's still holding M61.

 

[Greenbean]

Ha it's still holding M61.

At least it's being used... Somehow...

The 1/2 in poly drip tubing that used for drip irrigation system works perfectly:

Will the E2/Scout head have the same adaptability as the VME head as far as drop-ins? It has a much cleaner look on the Surefire E-series than the VME.
