    4hrs and 22min of FULL output on a protected AW17670! Amazing module! I didn't want to wait around to see how long it took for the module to taper down to 1 lumen - but 262 minutes at full output is very impressive for a 17670! And this is the M61L 219 that I ran in this test.

    Thank you again Craig!

    Do a moonscape photoshoot under the CW M61.

    Dress the family in old western threads and take a sepia photo under the hcri

    What effect would the 219 have? Summer morning or day at the beach
    Day at the beach sounds fun!

    got mine today after being gone for the weekend and knowing it was sitting in my mailbox. Going for a walk soon to compare to an xpg high cri(my fav.). Initial impression, it is white and bright!
    I love warm tints

    Wow, great work Craig. I want one, but have been having a hard time convincing myself that I need one.

    I'm sure one of these days when I have some extra cash lying around I'll place an order.

    Waiting here too, although mine hasn't left yet as my order also has a MD2 and MD3/MD2 head. Only then do I get to "enjoy" the anticipatory build up as I wait for USPS, Canada Customs, and finally Canada Post to do their thing. No doubt my anticipation will be built to a very high level buy the time it all arrives.

    (I bet most of the delay is in the middle)

    OT: FedEx prepaid HST option for cross border shipping is quite amazing though. Not all that costly (relative to order value I guess) and next day delivery. Had to order some custom cables for a reno I'm doing, phoned in order at 2pm Monday, cables before noon on Tuesday at the door. Very impressed with both the supplier and FedEx.

    I got my M61 two days ago...

    As for the tint, my expectations are matched. It looks WHITE, but on the warmer side, comes near to natural light. Most warmer emitter produce a tainted beam, so that it doesn't look white abymore, but colored. Most other high CRI emitters are way too warm and their tint (and brightness) is like an incandescent light with dying batteries.

    The brightness doesn't reach the one of an XP-G neutral white for sure, but it should be the brightest high CRI emitter around and for my gusto it is bright enough. I wonder about the tested runtime above, over 4 hours on a 17670 is enormous, that would be over 7 hours on an AW 18650. I guess that the long runtime is explained by the module being unregulated below 3,4V. The current draw should be around 1A on 4V giving less than 2 hours full output on a 17670...

    The M61 with its reflector designed by Don smoothes the beam out quite well, but compared to an XP-G M61, I see more rings and a less homogenous beam. I'd like to see the Nichia 219 combined to a smooth reflector, I fear that will be a much worse beam than the one produced by a Cree XP-G.

    If you love the Malkoffs and high CRI, get this M61, it won't disappoint you!

    I'm very satisfied with the M61 219. That's not to say I couldn't be more satisfied, potentially. But yeah, it seems like whenever I turn it on, I think the beam looks better than it does previously. It's like a perpetually "perfect" light.

    Drawing 843ma(M61 219) off a fresh new AW IMR18650 at tailcap.

    Haven't done runtime tests but I would image maybe 2 hrs with 2000mah IMR(draws higher current as battery voltage drops) 3 hours with 3100 wouldn't shock me to much(Awesome!)

    Yes still loving the "rendering"
