Come on now Flash.... Two of us already answered this question in the other thread and just like in the other thread, yes. The MM L1P and MM L2P heads are the same. The same circuit is used in both. So therefore the L1P head can be used on the L2P body. It can handle the 3v easily.



I want be sure. But thanks to confirm.
Will not smoke the MM L1P head when mounting in the L2P body.

But just to be clear, it is NOT advised to use a protected 3.7v 14500 cell in the MM L1P, is that correct MM?

I just bought mine from the finix-store a week ago, and although some have reported that it works, I was told that it may overdrive the circuit and/or the emitter.

The circuit needs to be set-up to handle Li-ion. It can handle it and it does overdrive the Lux, but it's not likely to hurt the Lux.

Just a side note, it seems like overdriven Lux flashlights are pretty popular these days anyways. :)


7 Watts....8 Watts..... 1.21 Gigawatts, you know, whatever...

Just a status update.... I bought 2 MillerMods L1P's, the 1st ones that I've seen Erick (Millermods) produce 2 months ago. One was a gift, the other is my EDC (with a 2 stage) that stays in my pocket all the time. It gets used more than any other light I have and has held up great. I have fed it Lithium AA's and NiMh AA's, it's very happy with both.

I agree w/Tremendo above. I have one of the MillerMod U-bin L1P with two stage twisty and it goes with me everywhere. So far it's my go-to EDC light, right now I'm feeding it a Sanyo 2500 Ni-MH. Works great, thanks Eric.

A very strange dark place
I have the Revision A MillerMods L1P and use it daily as a bicycle helmet light. Tested it one night by running down a NiMH AA cell then loading another to see how hot I could get the light without cooling. It got a little toasty but held up fine.

My cold fusion cell is almost complete, what Luxeon can handle 1.21 gigawatts?

My MM L1P is shipped !


Have received my MM L1P today.
Very happy, I wanted to do comparison test with my L2P, and also mount the MM to my L2P for a boost of performance !

But unfortunately, it's a stock L1P I have received, not a MM L1P.
Millermods and Erasmus have confirmed this to me.
I am doing a runtime test too, and after 110 minutes it's still bright.

Its' well a stock L1P.

I have sent a mail to 4sevens, and I'am waiting now.

Hmmm... One quick way to determine whether it's a MM or a stock one.
If you look into the back of the head, the stock board is green. MM's is
complete silver.

Upon verification that I mistakenly sent you a stock one, I'll immediately send
you a MM L1P head.

Thanks
:)

I have a MM L2P coming but I "don't" think that this was asked before unless I miss it! What about using the MM L2P head on a L1P body or one AA cell? Actually, I don't have a L1P yet, maybe I should! :D

It's the same driver, set-up exactly the same.
