The Malkoff M361 is an Light Engine for the VME Flashlight, C-series lights and Malkoff MD2 lights. It is a drop-in LED conversion upgrade to improve the light quality and output for all compatible lights. The M61NH is designed to add extreme reliability to legacy flashlights in the familiar P60-compatible format and 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 industry leading Nichia 519a emitter and the legendary McR reflector with orange peel texture, the M61NH offers full spectrum light (Ra 98) and boasts an incredible red spectrum (R9 80+) with a generally pleasant tint. No more tint lottery.
This special run of M361 is issued in the Nichia 519a sm353 variant and preserves the dome to improve the beam quality and provide a wider hotspot, for a bright warm-neutral white 3500K CCT. This color is balanced for usage under all conditions, ideal for outdoorsmen as well as tactical users.
The M361 is using the M61SHO driver to output a massive 500+ lumens for 110 minutes on a quality Li-ion battery (eg. 4000mAh 18650). It is fully potted for a lifetime of reliable service. We recommend only using single Li-ion batteries, but the M61NH is capable of powering off of many common battery configurations.
Full compatibility with, but not limited to:
- C-series
- P60, P61, P90, P91
- 3P, 6P, 6Z, 9P
- C2, C3, M2, M3, Z2, Z3

Not recommended for plastic models like G2, G3 due to extremely high output - please use an authentic Z44 Aluminum bezel or similar aftermarket metal bezel if your use-case requires extended high output with Nitrolon lights.
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.
~~~Things Mr. Malkoff Wishes You to Know Before Purchase:~~~
A M61 Lens Kit, or suitable equivalent, is required for use in the MDX Head (MD2 Flashlight). To use the M61 in Elzetta Flashlights you will need the VME Lens Kit. These are available on the Malkoff Devices Flashlights Parts webpage.
The M61 dropin was designed to operate at maximum output for extended times in metal lights. Operating the unit for more than 5 continuous minutes on high in plastic lights (Surefire G2 and G3) may damage the dropin. This is not an issue in metal lights.
[ed. If you have an all plastic G2 or G3, please use the high mode on the M361 conservatively due to heat build-up.]
WARNING: This light is capable of causing eye damage at close range. Please use the light responsibly!!!
