All in all I'm pleased how well all these worked out, the new P7's are INSANELY bright.

So this is what envy feels like.

Can't wait to see the P7, I am thinking about trying to have one put into my KL6.

I like that carbon-fiber filler in your M@g window. What did you craft that from, how did you cut it so perfectly, what is the thickness?

Thanks.

Great work and pictures too:twothumbs...:goodjob:


Best regards

If I remember right it was 1/32" thickness sheet, believe it or not it was all done with a dremel and hand tools. Thanks for all the kind words.

Nice mods Chip!

I like the backgrounds as well as the subjects of your pics.

Thanks, I love my job. Good pic opportunities and half this stuff was done on night/swing shifts

Looks good- love the carbon fibre backing. Impractical but high-tech yummy!

Nice mods! Do you know what current the P7 is being driven at? It holds it own pretty well against those r2's which is pretty amazing. I can't wait till I get mine from Litemania.

That was my take on it, it's almost as bright with a beautiful spot to flood (really lights up a room). Still throws pretty well, I wish I could get a smooth reflector to try with it. The beamshots were taken when it was still direct drive off an 18650, so I'm guesstimating about 3 amps.

How is the heatsinking with the C2 after a while on high?

Sitting on a table it gets pretty warm, but in actual use I've had no issues or tint shifting (I mounted the P7 on a old SSC star and AA'd that to the heatsink). Doing a run time test I got about an hour of very bright light then usable light for at least another hour and a half.

WOW really nice work man! I like this P7 mods...

How are you liking those Kai "D" lithiums? Are they the protected verity? I just haven't seen too much info on these, and may consider these in my next build.

Pierce M10 + P7 + TriFlupic = Mega Mule!
