Good thing the s1200 coming out in the 2nd quarter, give me time to save money.

If its really 1200 lumens that it's really awesome for a light that size.
But will be hot really fast, pretty sure they'll have a warning saying don't use this light on turbo for more than xxx minutes.

new EagleTac Flashlight... monitor this thread...

Philihghtsophy, remember my order?

noted and the info is updated on the FIRST page of this thread ya...

Nope, not now.......maybe few months later until Malkoff updated the drop-in spec first . Already spend so much this few months. My latest purchase was the Natural color LF2XT with XPG - R5 and with sapphire glass lens. all i can say about this little light is simply awesome !

Wah nice one. You can programme to ur hearts content haha.
And u got the R5 and sapphire. Did u have to pay a lot more for the sapphire and R5?

*if there ever is a group buy for malkoffs, i pray that my wallet is filled with large denomination notes that i can use freely without regret or pain

paid sightly more for it compare to the normal version....exactly USD80 shipped [ also included in the package is the standard original bare XPE led and the glass lens too ]

LOL, it's okay, as long you are a proud owner of a M6 with a reliable P7 upgrade


If it really is 1200, it sure will give out alot of heat for its size and comes with alot of warnings abt running it max and I say not more than a minute. A light that size, output of 200 OTF lumens is satisfying enough, but peaking it at 1200 lumens for a short time is OH YEAH!!!

Many months ago, 47 tried to have a thermal detector for the maelstrom MCE and which they ran into issues and decided to go without it, not sure if the S series will have them.


Ooo good news

damonlbs..you evil man....


my work horse Ultrafire U4 shined it last lumen at 2.45am this morning, it gave a good bright shine just before it left, hope it will find a good place where all dead flashlights go to...in the dust bin.. ...well i will be performing an autopsy in the morning...may the lumen god have mercy..by the way the maelstorm S1800 is gorgeous...

Wow...the S1800 looks nice. Legion II head and M6 body using 6X123's....huh. I prefer 3X18650.

i want those maelstrom ! gorgeous looking light

hmm.....gonna put my current GB on hold for a while.....

I think i just wet my pants...

Yea, dont think im gonna go for ICON. Not only Maelstrom but new eagletacs and RRT-3! Gonna save the $ but... Newspaper, maelstroms be out in March and later only

And I can't see those pics!!! someone pls send those high res to my email!!

What's ur email?



Wow they look awesome!!

Thanks god they didn't go for the "over" look. I likes.

What's ur email? Lol.

I see a stippled reflector in the 500 lights.

Pseudoblue: emailed.



I think I have just found myself THE light!!!!!!!!!!

oh dear...




I'm soooo gonna be poor...

Ok, someone educate me on the s1200 battery...haven't been keeping up to date...paiseh

polkiuj: yeah i saw that some time ago at cpf. Really haiku-ish but blue so its better. USD400 or something like that right?

Here's one reference: LifePO4 batteries http://www.batteryjunction.com/rc375reliba.html. Max charge voltage is 3.6.


Some info from wikipedia:
In 1996, Akshaya Padhi, John Goodenough and coworkers identified the lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and other phospho-olivines (lithium metal phosphates with olivine structure) as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.[18] LiFePO4 is superior over other cathode materials in terms of cost, safety, stability and performance, and is most suitable for large batteries for electric automobiles and other energy storage applications such as load saving, where safety is of utmost importance.

LiFePO4 cells can be thought of as a better substitute for CR123 primaries, as their average voltage is 3.2V (NOTE: Still slightly higher than CR123s, so don't just assume that CR123 setups can be replaced with LiFePO4s!), rather than the regular Li-Co cells which are 3.7V.

They are a safe chemistry, meaning that they will never explode (they can leak electrolyte, though, if abused beyond specifications), and they can take a lot of abuse, and are capable of higher discharge currents. They mostly do not have a protection circuit, so over-discharge protection has to be built into the light or watched by the user manually.

Their drawback is that they have relatively low capacity (500mAh) at low current applications - although at high current draws they far exceed the capacity of the regular Li-Co cells. (Li-Cos tend to sag a lot and lose capacity at high currents)
