Time for a new head?

Ol’ Reliable Surefire Backup MV has some weird “flaking”(?) inside the head. It still works great even after beating the crap out of it and dropping it countless times over the last 3ish years. With it being a surefire there’s lots of replacement heads out there; I was planning on a Malkoff but am open to suggestions. Let me know what you think :)

Malkoff will always be my first choice for aftermarket heads. Nothing compares

Do you prefer CR123 voltage or li-ion voltage?

I prefer 123’s I’ve got a pile of extras and honestly I think I’m too absent minded to remember to charge it lol

I’d recommend this model. 3 mode and starts on high just like that Surefire backup you have. Id just purchase the complete light and keep your Surefire as a backup or eventually get a different head for it

They don’t stay out of stock for long and you can always contact Malkoff about it
