Well, I finally modded my 7C. I stuck an FM--MOP, I believe--reflector with the small hole, a potted WA1274, which fortunately, is very well centered and works perfectly with the small holed reflector (if the potted bulbs aren't perfectly centered, they may rub on the reflector hole, (especially when trying to focus) which is just big enough for them to fit through. Also, I added a Borofloat lens. For the juice, I'm using Eneloops! I figured Eneloops would definitely be the way to go, since, even though I won't be using this light much, I do want it to be ready to go whenever I might want it. I bought some of those AA to C adapters off of ebay for this. AA Eneloops in place of the C batteries really lightens it's up a lot (batter up!). I first tried the stock PR-20 bulb, so I could make a good comparison. Actually, there is no comparison, the WA1274 is *SO* much brighter and appears to be as white as can be (of course, I might change my mind about that, if I were to bring out an LED for tint comparison). I imagine the difference in output between stock and modded is the difference between a Minimag Incan and a Minimag 3AA. The difference in output is HUGE, and I just love the MOP reflector.
Oddly, I put the newly modded light back into it's plastic box! (with batteries, mods and all)
