What is the out the front lumen output and current draw for the LLLL?

I have these three.

https://malkoffdevices.com/products/m61nll-neutral-tint-lowest-output-to-fit-surefire-and-malkoff
M61NLL (neutral tint, lowest output)
output is approximately 80 measured out the front lumens. The current draw is only 140ma at 6 volts.

https://malkoffdevices.com/products/m61ll-lowest-output-to-fit-surefire
M61LL (lowest output)
output is approximately 100 measured out the front lumens. The current draw is only 150ma at 6 volts.

https://www.illumn.com/malkoff-devices-m61lll-219bv3.html
Malkoff Devices M61LLL 219B V3
output is 60 measured out the front lumens. The current draw is 125mA at 6 volts.

Oveready's M61N LLLL

3x CR123: 33.6ma @ 9V (27lm)
2x CR123: 37.3ma @ 6V (22lm)
1x CR123: 62.5ma @ 3V (20lm)

2x Li-ion: 35.3ma @ 7.8V (25lm)
1x Li-ion: 57.2ma @ 3.8V (20lm)

Measured using my Texas Ace Lumens Tube, calibrated.

These LLLL are going to run a LONG time. I still say your going to get 100 hours off them with certain batteries . Not full power but pretty good light even at the end.

I found it very interesting that with the H/L ring on low it lost output, but jumped up in current draw.... guess the H/L's resistor is higher than the draw from the dropin. Gets around 81ma draw w/ H/L ring on low, @9V. So no benefit there....

I wonder if we could get a group-buy for a much lower H/L ring? Maybe I'll just break out the soldering iron...

Ya theses are so low on draw and output I was thinking something like that might happen with the hi/lo ring. Good to know

Elzetta 3 cell M61WLLLL
G3. 3 cell M61WLLLL
G3. 3 cell M61NLLLL
G2. 2 cell M61NLLLL

Think i have my hosts picked out for my LLLL's. For now anyways. Sure it will change😁

Wow just realized I don't have a single Malkoff host to use. Looks like I need to go find a MD3!

I know the M61LLLL W is in production at the moment

Is this the group buy? For the life of me, I could never find where to sign up for it. I would have been in for two or three for sure, but I guess it would have been a want more than need, so I'm happy to hang onto the money.

So I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone" I always liked that expression" I have 2 WM61LLLL coming in. I'm going to put one in a G3 with 3 primaries and 1 in a G3 with 2 AA's. What AA I do not know. I have always had best meaning longest runtimes with regular alkaline. But courteous to see 2X energizer lithium us as well. 🤔🤔

Way they came. I was thinking the same thing tho. 😁 they really are a great level of light. But there a difference beam pattern then all my other Malkoff's.Might just be me but looks like 95 percent of the light is in the hotspot. Very little spill. But again only had them 30 minutes 😁
