Any idea of the current draw, or approximate lumen output ?

Also, just one level, correct ?

Direct drive, or regulated ?

Re: WTS: Dafabricata P7 modded Gray KL4 Head only (stock board)

Hi archimedes!

Not too sure, I did a lot of research and couldn't really find much info on it.

Anyhow, yes, it's one level - not too sure if it's DD or Regulated. It uses the stock board, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it being DD or Regulated.

edit: Some sources say about 600 lumens

Hmmm ... tempting :)

Anything you could compare it to, in terms of informal "ceiling bounce test" for output?

Maybe something standardized ... perhaps a SureFire, HDS, Malkoff, etc.

Also, how's the tint? And is there a "P7 donut hole" in the center of the beam?

Thanks for the info !

It definitely lights up an entire room, that's for sure. In terms of tint, I have a Milky Expurgator with an XPG-R51C and the XPG is slightly cooler than the P7. The P7 has an ever so slight neutral tinge to it (at least to me). As for the donut hole, it's not too noticeable. I was going to stick some diffusing film over the lens, but later on I decided it was something I could live with.

I wish I could resist, but at $85, I'll have to say ... I'll take it :)

Please PM with PayPal info - thanks!

I'm glad it's going to you, archimedes :) PM on the way with PayPal info!

The stock driver is a boost driver that ran a Luxeon V LED, whose Vf was around 6V.
A Seoul P7 Vf at 3A drive is around 3.5V.

I would run this light only with 1xLi-ion (e.g., a 17670). You will be in direct drive
since Vbatt>Vf, and most likely the P7 will be pushed hard. I definitely would not
use 2xIMR16340, which would probably fry the LED and/or driver. I also would
not use 2x123A because the current draw would be excessive for those cells.

Yep, this is what I was thinking ....
