I have a Surefire G2L on the way to me, bought on the MarketPlace.
Looking at a runtime chart for the stock Surefire G2L (thank you Chevrofreak), it seems the G2L will run for around 4.5 hours before dropping off, at a stated 80 lumens.
The Malkoff M60LL states the same 80 lumens, but with a full output of 8 hours. I'm no expert, but I assume that this longer time is due to the Malkoff using a better LED than the Surefire.
Although I have 2 Surefires on the way to me, and 1 Malkoff, I have never actually seen the beam on a G2L/6PL, nor have I seen any of the Malkoffs.
If the Surefire is a good beam, then the 4.5 hours runtime instead of a possible 8 Malkoff hours isn't a problem for me. 4.5 hours is more than enough for my needs, although more is always better of course.
So, this is my question: Is it worth putting a $75 (cost + shipping) Malkoff M60LL in a $40 light, or is the Surefire good enough to be left as it is?
Thank you
