Just got my SureFires back from Scott yesterday. Feel like a kid at Christmas time.
The Sleeper looks fairly ordinary, but under the hood is a Cree XRE pumping out over 300 lumens through the TIR, running on two 123 primaries. Has a nice tight well-focused beam that throws amazingly far for a small pocket edc light. It is focusable by loosening or tightening the two halves of the head, but I think it is at its best tightened all the way down. Backed off slightly it seems to get a slightly better hot spot, but looses a bit of output and gets a bit ringy.
The Room Sweeper with its 650+ lumen SSC P7 needs no formal introduction here, but mine is a bit different. Instead of running it on a 17670 cell in a 2-cell E2 body, I have mine on a single cell E1 body running on a 16340 cell. Same ouput in a smaller package, albeit at the expense of some runtime, but for its indended use that is no concern. When the head was being machined, some of the original op coating for the reflector chipped off. Scott informed me of this, and told me that it now has a matte silver finish to it which should be just fine, but might affect the throw a bit. I was not concerned with this as this light is not a thrower, and I had an idea of my own anyway. I removed the matte silver finish and the anodizing underneath with my Dremel and a fine grit emery wheel, and then polished it up with a cloth fiber wheel and polishing compound. It now has a nice mirror finish to it. Nice superb intesely bright flood to this one.
Here are some pics.
Thanks to Scott for the superb builds. He is a great guy to talk to, very helpful and informative. I definitely will be going to him for more mods/builds in the future.
Also thanks to Hogo for the conception of the Roomsweeper.
