Regarding Malkoff's new E series dropins,

As it was wise to opt for a incadescent P or C series light from, rather than an LED model from SureFire, wouldn't it make sense to purchase an incadescent E series light to combine with the Malkoff E series dropin?

I haven't been able to access the Malkoff site yet. Does anyone know if the new dropin will work with the E1E or E1B?

Thanks in advance.

There is no E series dropin. There is a head that fits the E series bodies, and accepts the existing Malkoff dropins for the C series.

Ah! Thank you sir. I misunderstood. I wonder if a single RCR123 would power an M60? Any thoughts?

It would, but it won't be running under regulation once your RCR dips under 3.6V, and it'll be direct drive all the way till the cell's depleted.

Thanks Fatts. I gather running the cell until fully depleted is not good?

isnt that what the M30 is for ?

I don't know. I've been meaning to ask why there was an M60 and an M30. I don't know the difference.

Edited to add: I looked on the Malkoff sire regarding the M30 and see it IS intended to run with one RCR123. However, the compatible SF hosts are two cell bodies. Is it the case then that one would use a spacer + the cell? And, I gather the M30 would not fit into the E1e, E1b head? I must not understand something. We have a dropin designed to run on one cell but it fits only two cell bodies.

The M30 is primarily meant to be run off single lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, such as the 18650 and 17500 series. Could you use it with a single RCR123 and a dummy cell? Sure.

You can run the M30 with one RCR123.It will give you full out put for 30-35 minutes.You can also run it off one primary 123.You get 140-160LM for 1.5-2 hours.

You should try searching first. There's already a thread regarding the Malkoff's E series bezel assy.

So the M30 is ment for a single cell such as the 18650 but the M60 can accept both a 18650 or two cells such as rcr123's or primaries?

M30s can run on input voltages of 1-5.5v and the M60 can run on 3.5-9v. You can run an M30 on one li-ion rechargeable while the M60 can run on 1 or 2 li-ion rechargeables and 2 or 3 lithium primaries.

M30 can be driven by 1x RCR123, 17500, 17670, or 18650 cells in ANY 1-cell body that's compatible with SF C-series bezel !!

ie: a 17670 cell can fit inside a SF 6P body (unmodified, and un-bored)

Thanks for the tip but, as I stated in my original post, I thought Malkoff had come out with an E seried dropin, not a bezel.
