Hi, I want to build a m@g mod with 4 P7 Leds, can some one give me the measurents to try to find somebody here in my country to make it??? Please... If you have pics with that measurents will be very appreciate too...

Mac's Customs does those (3xP7) on a special order basis. I'd be surprised if anyone else could put one together for what Mac charges.

Four P7's would be a stretch in a head that size.
 
Changchung,

Well, wouldn't the size of the head be purely based on the size of the reflectors you want installed?

Easy enough to figure the internal diameter needed if you can specify the diameter of the reflector, or optic, that you want to use.

Say you were using the IMS 20mm, which is actually 20.5mm, then you would have this:

Measure the height of the reflectors, LED, heatsink, lens, O-ring, etc. and you have your minimum depth.

Thickness of material is determined partly by thread depth, plus personal preference.
 
edit: nevermind I just read your other posts in LZ's thread.

Thanks for your help, I will like to use McR27XR, I think if the lens is bigger more light I have... If I want to use this size the measurents are bigger right???
 
You'll need a personal assistant to carry your flashlight before long.

RE: the quad made by LED Zeppelin, he says "not very practical at all. The ridiculous heat they generate that cannot be dissipated naturally is matched only by the ridiculous brightness."
