KIJI 10 degree

KIJI (10°–40° adjustable)

  • Power: 5 → still king at reach when run at 10°.

  • Versatility: 3 → the adjustable 40° setting gives it legit CQB/urban usefulness, though it’s still not as “one light fits all” as a Malkoff.

  • Utility: 5 → mission-driven tool that can cover more scenarios than people expect.

TIGHT HALLWAYS, DOORWAYS, STAIRWELLS, WHERE SPEED BEATS HESITAION, ANGLES COLLAPSE FAST, PHOTONIC BARRIERS FROM WHITE LIGHT OR IR BOUNCE OFF WALLS, AND COMMS GET DROWNED IN CHAOS.

SPEED + AWARENESS

Malkoff sir 250

Malkoff SIR250 (strong IR illuminator, wider spill)

  • Power: 4 → strong output, plenty for most environments.

  • Versatility: 4 → balances reach and usable flood, more adaptable than KIJI.

  • Utility: 5 → highly practical across CQB, mid-range, and transitional environments.

Malkoff e1htv2

Malkoff E1HTv2 (compact white light head, 325 lumen + IR capability when paired)

  • Power: 3 → decent punch for its size, but not the top dog.

  • Versatility: 5 → shines in adaptability (fits small form factor, dual-role flexibility with CTF3).

  • Utility: 4 → very useful for CQB and mixed use, though less specialized at extremes.
