Okeedokee :whistle: All Parts are ordered :twothumbs Jan 16th 2009
I did order several extra ones in case there are some more stragglers :thumbsup:

Hello CPF Patrons!
I am starting another groupbuy of the Mini-Edc Lights.
The original thread is here:
https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/211760


Aw's IMR Cells can be purchased here for use in my Mini-Edc,
For when you choose the direct drive options:
http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=184887

Review Linky here from Chew Socks: Thank You!
https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/216732
And Another one from MCMC: Thanks!!
https://www.candlepowerforums.com/posts/2754510#post2754510

There will be 20 lights sold in this groupbuy with a possiblilty for more.
I will need to have the lights pre-paid for this go-around due to my
expendable monies being put into other projects like the Chimera Mini.
I will start the parts order process once i have 15 lights pre-paid.
If you want to wait on ordering till the review comes out , Then no
problem :) I will post the links to the Reviews in this post, Once they
come out. Edit: At some point if there aren't any more orders and
the total does not come to 15, then i will just place the order for
the parts to keep the wait down for you folks :)

The "Appoximate" leadtime is 3-4weeks After i place the parts order :popcorn:
It is just about the same time frame as the previous groupbuy.

These lights are a modified DX 123-based edc that i replace the
stock led with a P7 or MC-E. The light retains its water resistance
properties, and works the same way as the stock light. But with
alot more power. Approx 300-350 lumens for an MC-E and 350-400
lumens for a P7. And up to ~500 lumens for the direct drive options.
The P7 is a Coolwhite color of 6000-6500 Kelvin.
Whereas the MC-E is around 4500. The light output is "Visually"
the same between the two, If you had them side-by-side.
The color rendering with the MC-E is better than the P7, Which
is why it seems to have the same output.

Specs:
Driver: Stock MCU-C7 with a ~1300mA output on high,
and 50mA on the Lowest custom output from group 3(See Below)

Lens: Standard Glass.

O-Rings: Upgraded from stock rubber to Silcone. All threads and
o-rings are greased with silicone.

Battery Size: 123 in either Primary/Rechargable 3.0v-3.7v
But this light will run on ANY Battery from 0.9v-4.2v if it will fit :)
You can use LifePo or other safe chemistry batteries.
If you wanted the Direct-Drive version, please use a protected
rechargable (which i sell) or a Safe Chemistry battery that has a
working voltage of 4.2v. Please PM me for details.

Lanyard or Clips: Please PM Me for details, as i have limited quantities.

Rear Button color choices: Black/Orange/Glow/Blue
The Blue and Glow work well with the led backlit button.
Added: Orange is now added to the Backlit Glowcap options.
I only have pics up for the orange and green. The blue will
be up as soon as i have some in hand :)
The led behind the button Cannot be turned off unless you
remove the rear cap. The led consumes about 3mA from the
battery. I mis-figured the current consumption from the last sale :)

Direct Drive or 2-Mode option: I can setup the led to run directly
from the battery with the stock on-off clicky, or a 2-Mode clicky
that can have a high and a low. from about 20 lumens on low, to
about 500 lumens when using a Safe Chemistry high output 3.7v
battery. The 2-mode clicky works like this: Off-1-2 < High or low
can be setup to either mode :grin2: So if you wanted High on the first
click from off, then so be it! Mwa!

Added- A Rear-Led glowcap Cannot be added to the direct drive
options with either the 2-mode or single mode. This is an option
Only available with the Mutimode Driver in the Stock $95.00 light..
Sorry for any confusion :(

Prices:
All prices U.S.

95.00 for the Basic Edc with your choice of Led
15.00 for adding a glowing tail button. Pick Blue or Green Button.
5.00 for a set of RCR123 Protected 880mA Trustfire batteries.
10.00 for a Trustfire Lithium Ion batt charger for 123's-to-18650's

Hmm, I dont really know if a previous balance would cause a fee on my end?
I wonder where i could find out?

Ohh, there aren't any reviews yet.. But most likely this weekend :)

The runtime is about 20min on high :)

I had one generously gifted from the first run. Some quick things i want to say.

1.I'll try to get a review up (with pics) this weekend.
2.The tint on the MC-E is VERY nice....not incan yellow, and not sear your eyes pure white.
3.It's VERY bright, especially for its size.

I definitely recommend it as an EDC.

If you have an upgraded account where you can accept ccard paypal then all transactions will have a fee on that account, even balance funded.

If you have a non-upgraded account, you can only accept balance funded payments, and there are no fees until you reach a monthly limit, somewhere around $400. After that there are fees.

It makes sense to have two accounts, one of each type.

Re: Mini Edc Second Run with P7/MC-E Leds And Backlit Tailcap Button

Update: This light is growing on me. Two things to know about this light.

You can only change modes from the low output within a particular mode. From the user variable mode, you must be at the lowest output level, or close to it, to be able to change to another mode.

Find the mode you like, and you learn how to stay in that mode. If you intend to stay in a mode, when it flashes three times, do nothing for a few seconds or you will change modes and it will take a little time to get back to the mode you lost.

Correct :) Just like Chew Socks says in his review.
You have to sit down with the light just like any other
programmable Edc, and play with it for an hour or so
to acclimate yourself with the functions. :thumbsup:

Yes, it is Direct Drive :)
I can make the second mode
a very low, low of about 20 lumens..
470ohm resistor baby! the most
efficient way to drive an led :tinfoil: :nana:

Hey, Sabrewolf,

How did you manage to put an LED in the tailcap? I have a few thousand indicator LEDs that might be useful :)

really nice light.. maybe someday... someday..
