Thread: The flashlight sticky

Thanks, might wait a bit for the offer before grabbing one then...

Likewise, needing a new big bad torch

Talk to her about batts and charger if needed. This torch needs the best batts - maxtoch/panasonic 3400 protected buttontop batts. Maxtoch 3400s are rebranded panasonics.

Absolutely brilliant light

So is it better than the sniper mudz?

The recent M24 Sniper produced 220,000 lux for a max range of 900 meters or so. This new 2X produces more than that on its medium mode - 260,000 for 1000+ meters - and on high it produces 365,000 lux for over 1200 meters.

If you have the smaller M24 Sniper hold onto it. The higher spec board and led in this new 2X also fit straight into the M24 as an upgrade, lifting it from 220k lux to round 290,000 lux. I have both lights and they are awesome for hunting. New 2X is very light, still great for scanning paddocks quick, but with extremely powerful centre hotspot for throw.

Yup I have a one. How do I upgrade it. Is it just a drop in?

Unscrew the rear flange, unscrew the reflector/lens/bezel, unsolder the wires from the LED carrier board and solder in the new board, ...

Probably quicker to do it than it was for me to type it. First step being to obtain new board of course.

If you pop the new 2X's circuit board into your present M24 it will be more like 275k lux on high (with U3 led), and on high it will have noticeably less runtime. BUT .... your M24's medium mode will also be dramatically increased with the board upgrade to 200+k lux - very similar to your M24's present high. So with the upgrade you can use 275k high when you want to, and 200+k medium for hunting - 200k will certainly do that job and keep the good runtime.

If you add a new U4 led then M24 goes to about 290k. You could not tell the difference between 275 and 290 output except with a lux meter.

Maxtoch should have the 4.5 amp boards for 2X/M24 available shortly. Ask Amanda - amanda@maxtoch.cn

Cheers mudz. Can you get a switch that only has the one setting?

I get pissed off with mine changing to strobe if I am too fast turning it on and off.

You have the rare strobe board. I have spares if you want it swapped out for the non strobe model.
