MDCF HCRI Flashlight 1800K

A special edition with the warmest light. Blow away cold winter nights with the warm glow of candlelight, with the high power you've come to expect from Malkoff.

Why we built this:

For those who deserve the best, the MDCF HCRI flashlight has beautiful, no-compromise beam quality and rock solid reliability. It is simple to operate, well made. Nice enough to wear in a suit, tough enough to bring to a job site, and so reliable you don't need to have a second flashlight.

We made it small and lightweight, but still sized for real hands and real work. With the MDCF's high efficiency light engine, a single battery can take you from dusk til dawn. We equipped it with specialty emitters made for color sensitive applications so you can see as well as daylight.

We chose the color, 1800K, as the warmest we could get without disrupting color recognition. You can distinguish details readily without distortion of contrast or coloration. Additionally, the yellow light cuts through fog and smoke, reducing glare and backscatter.

For the readers:

The Malkoff MDCF HCRI is designed for extreme reliability in a lightweight and compact footprint. Classically overbuilt but re-imagined for modern times, the MDC HCRI is proudly made in the USA by Gene Malkoff and his small team who are trusted by law enforcement, military, and civilians in dark places around the world.

Using the enthusiast favorite FFL351A emitter, the MDCF HCRI offers full spectrum light (Ra 96+ R9 91+) and an alluring rosy warm 1800K color that will warm up the coldest of nights.

The full spectrum emitter is paired with a specially textured optic designed to provide a beam as smooth as you've come to expect from our flagship reflectored lights, while providing the throw beam . Optimized for comfortable use between 1-220 feet.

With three output levels and 350 lumens max, the MDCF HCRI shines the warmest rays that slice through darkness and offers near sunlight quality color rendition while keeping enough in reserve for you to get home on a single battery. There is no step down on high, so the MDC HCRI will continue blasting its maximum 350 lumens or as near to it as the battery can sustain.

The MDCF HCRI is equipped with a sturdy pocket clip and has a new upgraded tapered half knurled body for easier pocket ingress and egress. We're also proudly using the new Malkoff buck driver for improved power efficiency. All of the flashlight electronics are potted for water and impact resistance and the only wear item (the switch) is designed to be user serviceable with the industry standard McClicky.

This flashlight is powered by a 14500 lithium ion cell (not included). Almost all 14500 cells fit including most protected, unprotected, flat top, or button top batteries. Many USB batteries work as well.

What we're excited about:
- FFL351A 1800K is a gorgeous color and guarantees rosy-superwarm tint
- frosted optic for a clean beam with good throw for distance work
- extremely overbuilt but gentle on pockets, with a great pocket clip
- new buck driver 3.7v-9v for improved efficiency
- next gen 14500 body, half knurled with tapered smooth front for easier pocket ingress

Please note: Due to the nature of this limited run item, any warranty issue brought to Malkoff Devices that requires a full unit replacement will not be able to replicate the unique LED configuration of this light and will be offered one of the standard factory options.

~~~ A message from Mr. Gene Malkoff ~~~
It will easily illuminate objects at 350+ feet and will blind opponents within a 100 foot radius.

The switch debounce time is 150 milliseconds. The mode will advance each time the light is momentarily activated and the switch debounce time has passed.
This light USES ON TIME to determine mode switching. If the light is left ON for more than 1 second, the NEXT off/on cycle will return the light to low. If the light is NOT LEFT ON for 1+ seconds the NEXT off/on cycle will advance the mode. The off time has no relation to the mode switching of the light. In most normal use, the light will always come on in low.

This Flashlight was designed for rugged service from the ground up. It is fully potted to stand up to rough service and recoil. This Item is Covered by Our Lifetime Warranty. [ed. While the light will be fully covered by Malkoff's lifetime warranty, any replacement items issued will use the standard factory option LED.]

The Flashlight is protected against reverse polarity.

WARNING: This light is capable of causing eye damage at close range. Please use the light responsibly!!!
