MDC XPL EZP Head

Malkoff MDC XPL EZP (Easy Programmable) Head. The head fits standard E-Series (16650) Bodies. It DOES NOT FIT the DF (Dual Fuel) 18650 Bodies or other standard 18650 Bodies. If use with an 18650 battery is desired, it can use the MDC 18650 to E-Series Body sold HERE.

This Head can be reprogrammed to use different combinations of the Low, Medium, and High modes. The full output runtime on a 2000-2500mah 16650 battery is approximately 45min to 1 hour. The full output runtime on 2x CR123 is approximately 30-45 minutes. The LED is a Cool White (5700K) Cree XP-L or a Neutral White (4000K 80 CRI) Cree XP-L.

APPROXIMATE OUTPUTS AND DRAWS AT VARIOUS VOLTAGES

*Below 3.6 volts the flashlight will slowly taper in output. Low Voltage Protection (fast taper) doesn't start until 3 volts. Below 2.7 volts the flashlight will turn itself off. The use of an unprotected cell entails additional risks. 

**Actual highest output is dependent on the internal resistance of the battery. The use of an unprotected cell entails additional risks. 

It is constructed of 6061 T6 Aluminum and is HA Black Type III Hard Anodized. This design utilizes a custom orange peel reflector designed by Don McLeish. The reflector offers a very nice balance of throw and spill. It is an outstanding room lighter with short to medium reach. Great for lighting treetops from ground level.

Malkoff Devices encourages the use of protected batteries for overall safety. A low internal resistance, unprotected, high discharge battery will provide the highest output. However, the use of an unprotected cell entails additional risks.

It will also work with two CR123 primary batteries, at a reduced output.

PROGRAMMING THE LIGHT (watch the video)

• The light is programmed using a series of short and long button presses. 
• A short button press is a short momentary (<0.5 second) button press that DOES NOT latch/click the switch.
• A long button press is a long (>0.5 second) button press. In most cases latching the switch is not necessary.
• To enter Programming Mode perform 20 short button presses. It is not necessary to count or be exact. Simply perform short presses until the light begins to fast strobe.
• Hold the long button press. The light will fast strobe for approximately 5 seconds.
• Continue holding the long press. After the strobe, the light will emit single flashes at 2 second intervals.
• Count the number of flashes and release the button when the desired mode group (number of flashes) is reached. 
• Releasing the the button during the fast strobe will reset to default (L-M-H).

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE

• To make your light single mode high only.
• Short press until the light starts strobing.
• Hold the press. Once the strobing stops - Release the button after the 4th flash.
