Nice comparsion :thumbsup:

Nice shots! So the MN61 in the M6 is noticeably brighter than the MN21... I can't wait to try that combo, still waiting on my AW batteries.

I've said this before, and I'll said it again...The M6 is a great light to have. No serious Surefire collection is complete without one. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the beamshots! I've got my FM 3x17670 holder, but have yet to try out the MN61. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Or two, or three....

Great Beamshots...Thanks for doing it..

You beat me to it...I was going to do something similar...

I love my M6 with 3x17670 firing the MN61 ..

I was going to do this comparison..

M6 x 6 CR123s using the MN21 .
M6 with 3x17670 using the MN61..
M6 with 3x17670 using a LED Tower Module.

So if you have an LED Tower Module can you please get some beamshots?

You say it like I actually forced you to buy 3 M6's! haha! I wish I had the power to do that. Trust me, I'm having trouble convincing a certain british spy (cough cough bond cough) to buy just ONE.

Chronos took some here - MN16 vs Tower Module:

https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/183668

Did somebody ask to see new pictures of my three M6's? Ok, since you guys asked nicely...

Notice how each one has different engraving on the sides!

MN61 vs. EO-13: which one is brighter?

I have 3 x 18650 driving EO-13 700 lumens and it looks like not as bright as 2 x 18650 driving 1794 VLOP socket & reflector from Fivemega. What light is this MN61 fitted in?

Who you talkin' bout Willis???

I do not have a TM on hand, but do have a Polarion PH50 heading in my direction ...

Nice comparison shots. Did you by chance get any of your M6R-1185. That is what I am planning if I am able to get one of FM's MN bi-pin adapters.

Regards,
Mark

EXCELLENT SHOT"S!!! :twothumbs
