My Elzetta ZFL-M60 with a High/Low tailcap arrived after an excruciating long wait of approximately 9 days. This is my third real LED torch light after the Regalight EDC and Fenix L2D.The ZFL-M60 is powered by the wonderful Malkoff Devices M60 drop-in. The M60 has an operating voltage of 3.8V - 9V and outputs 235 lumens using a Cree XR-E and TIR optics.
The ZFL-M60 is a very, very hefty torch and feels very good in my hand. The torch sample I have seems to have a very slightly off-centred beam that probably won't show when I'm outdoors. The head seems to be screwed on very tightly and I have problems unscrewing it. I hope it has not been Loctited, since reviews of the original release (twisty with momentary button) show it being disassembled. I'll have to ask Elzetta about this.
The Malkoff M60 itself is a single-stage drop-in and the two levels (235 and 15 lumens) are controlled by the tailcap. Tighten for high and loosen for low. It is a forward clicky and thus allows the torch momentarily switched on. There are no silly strobes or SOS modes.
Once I have had a chance to play around with it further when my RCR123As and charger arrive, I will post a proper review.
