    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.

    I see that Amanda has applied the initial offer discount. Grabbed a torch & a pressure switch tailcap. Cheers Mudgripz for keeping us up to date!
