I have a switchable light in my safe; only turned it on once. That’s how long it took me to figure out that it didn’t work for my application, namely, peering around deep piles of vintage pump .22s and handgun miscellania to find the using kit. Gotta be a hand-held, and more is better.
Someone with a much larger safe, with a much better signal-to-noise ratio crammed inside it may well have different needs.

Installed a Ti-coated stainless steel bezel ring on my 6P Lego;
Started the Lego-ization of my 6P - Malkoff M61L module on the way.
Malkoff M61N, about 400 lumens. A bit warmer tint than other Cree LEDs I’ve used, actually pretty close to the incandescent head, but nearly as bright as my 600 lumen 6P Fury Pro, without the fiddly two stage switch.

I have a spare M61N that I put in the 34 dollar special after taking the comparo shots, above. If I’m being honest, the neutral tint is the best all-around head, IMO, though I still like the bright sepia world of the warm versions because I hate overly blue led light as a rule.

At any rate, my daily is the old 6P with the warm low (approx 200 lumen) and the 34 dollar one with the spare 61N is on the nightstand. That’s a hell of a light for the dough.

This is my first Malkoff purchase. I like it.
The Malkoff drop-ins are a superb way to update a 6P.
I purchased another of the EDC Plus drop-in to use with a WML on my 1187. This one did a lot better in the tint lottery.
The first one is certainly cool, but well within expectations for a 6200K LED. It now resides in the WML on my 1187. The second one has a decidedly warmer tint without the slight yellow tinge in the middle of the hotspot that the first one exhibits. In fact, its tint is actually very nice, I would say more around 5000K, that is more consistent to the outer edges of the spill.
Its all part of the fun of the tint lottery, knowing that you could buy ten samples of the same drop-in and none would exactly match another. Sometimes you lose the tint lottery, sometimes you win. This latest one is definitely a winner, making my 6P Lego all the more enjoyable to use!
