Malkoff MD60 and AW Soft Start

Esthan · Jul 8, 2013

Has anyone any info if Malkoff MD60 Module is compatible with the AW Soft Start 3 Level Switch.

I have an M3T that I rarely use and would like to upgrade it for a LED as backup - but since during the modding process to fit the AW in, the original switch insides got a bit damaged

and investing in a new switch isn't a comforting idea - I'd like the AW to stay in my M3T.

If it isn't compatible, are there any other currently available dropins for the T heads that might work with AW's switch?

if need be, you could look for a second Z41 tail cap.

I don't know the answer as to Malkoff-AW softstart compatibility

I'm currently running an MD60 tower in an M6 fitted with the AW soft-start switch, and it's working. In the past, there has been some controversy about running the soft-start with LEDs, and AW doesn't support the activity.

Thanks for the info

Are 3 levels working issue Free?

IIRC the AW switch uses low frequency PWM which is perfectly fine for incandescent but not for LED. So even if it does work the strobing effect would be pretty noticeable on low and med modes.

All 4 modes (including flashing) work issue free, and there is no noticeable strobing or flicker in any of the levels. It doesn't seem to have the same amount of separation between levels as with an incan lamp, so the low isn't as low as I'd like, but it's better than high only.
