Let me start by saying this is not a Malkoff bash thread at all. Now, with that out of the way, let me get to what I wanted to address.
I just received my mag lite drop in the other day. Was super excited. Bear in mind, I have quite a selection of lights at home and some of them are real powerhouses so I will say that perhaps I'm just jaded and that's why I'm not overly impressed by the output.
I have two lights with the same LED as the Malkoff so I figured output would be roughly the same. However, once I got it dropped in (3 D host) I was expecting a super bright beam. In reality, I got a medium intensity beam with a useable spill.
Would a glass lens make a noticeable improvement? Don't get me wrong, I like it for a "go-to" light when stepping outside to check on the dog or see what is roaming around the property but generally I still grab my Eagletac M2C4 or occasionally my TK70.
Any thing I could do to maybe bump up the brightness?
