What a Difference.
I was about to deep-six all of my 2D and 3D MagLites because they simply didn't provide the light and intensity of newer flashlights. I'd tried upgrading my old MagLites lights with xenon and led modules, but they were all... unworthy. Enter Malkoff replacements.
The LED conversion takes two or three minutes and the difference is, well... night and day. The modules are well-built, and the other products e.g., the bezels and end caps, are precise and well made.
Seriously, you can't physically protect yourself with a tiny Streamlight; a 2D or 3D MagLite is another matter entirely. The heft, brightness, and precision are all *unmatched.*
The icing on the cake is the "Made in America" aspect, as well as the unrivaled customer service. I placed an order on Sunday afternoon and had a tracing number LATER THAT FREAKING NIGHT! How awesome is that? I even got a handwritten thank you note from Cathy, not some generic computer-generated response.
Buy these products. You won't be disappointed.

Rejuvenation for a 25 year old Magliite!
I wanted to tell you about my experience with my maglite conversion. I was issued a 3 Cell Maglite when I was a C-141 Flight engineer with the USAF Reserves many years ago in 1997.. The light was used to pre and post flight the airplane for years and I kept that flashlight as a memento of 25 years of military service.
However, fast forward a few years, the intensity of the original light bulb was marginal at best and with a the addition of new batteries and it's brightness was equivalent to maybe 4 candles. What I can't believe is the illumination of that original bulb and just figured that's just the way it was and it worked as advertised… The 3 cell light was big enough not to lose and could be used as a weapon if ever needed.
My search ended when I came across your web site and decided to order your upgrade kit. The installation was as simple as can be and within minutes it was switched over. I believe I blinded myself when I first turned it on and simply couldn't believe I had been using the other light for so long… It truly is amazing! I've had the LED installed in this flashlight for almost 2 years and use it all the time… The batteries power the LED for what seems like forever.
I recently found my other 3 D-Cell Maglite I had laying around and then decided to bring both to work and show some of my co-workers. The gasps of "OMG that's Crazy" resonated around the room as both lights had new batteries. Of course I passed on the website to these guys and hopefully they will follow suit.
My wife was saying just the other day she needed a flashlight and couldn't find mine… so I just ordered another conversion for my second light.
Thanks in advance and please pass on my total satisfaction with your product to those who developed it.. Your product certainly has saved the big 3 D-cell light from the recycle bin! The little LED lights that are available today are awesome, but can get lost quite easily… I know, I've had a couple.
Thanks again,
Robert F.
PS. My coworker just ordered one too!!!!
Good Afternoon Gene, Cathy, Todd,
Thanks so much. I just received my order for the M61, the head for the E2 and a couple CR123 batteries.
I could tell by the packaging alone how much pride you take in your products and your business. It's rare these days to see that kind of attention to detail.
What's more, the products themselves are awesome. My old Surefire 6z which I carried on duty as a federal LEO, and my E2e have been brought into the 21st century.
Both items worked flawlessly seconds after removing them from their envelopes and installing them on the lights.
My E2e is an olive green color so the fact that the new head is black would be the only thing that would make someone look twice at the light.
The light output is beyond what I expected. Kudos.
I just wanted to express my appreciation for your workmanship and professionalism and also for adjusting my order so I could enjoy the $14 savings I would have received had I not placed the first portion of the order via amazon.
I will be going on NC Gun Owner's in a few minutes to let one of the EMT's on the site know how pleased I am.
You can be sure that when I have need of lights in the future, you will be my first stop. Same applies when someone needs a recommendation.
All the best,

10 minutes with a Wildcat
I was excited to get my Wildcat and take it on an evening dog walk.
I don't have any great "tactical" need for my flashlights, but I appreciate quality tools that work--every time.
As we were walking on the dark sidewalk, a cyclist was coming down the sidewalk at a high rate of speed (on the wrong side of the street, mind you--where he shouldn't have been on the sidewalk in the first place).
I yelled for him to stop--he couldn't hear because he was going too fast. So, I shined my brand new Wildcat right in his face--750 lumens right in the eyes stopped him in his tracks. For those who have ever seen the "Harry Potter" movies, it was like a Patronus charm--nearly like a force-field of disorientation. As he recovered and went by (now on the street) he said "man, that light is bright...."
The Wildcat is what saved us from a certain impact by a reckless cyclist. It is simply the hot-roddingest hot-rod light there is, bar none. It works, it is amazingly bright, and it paid for itself within 10 minutes on the walk. Thanks, Gene!
