Mag 1C SSC P7 GD3333 Mod

[darkzero]

My first P7 mod was a 3C direct drive, next was a 9x AMC7135. Finally now I've got a keeper. This is my birthday present to myself.

-Finned Mag 1C Li-Ion body by Mirage Man. I must say that out of all my cut down Mags from various people, Brian's work is the best quality by far. Very very clean machining & smooth threads. Received just in time yesterday on my birthday, thanks Brian!

-Modified Hotlips C heatsink.

-GD3333 "BigMac" Converter, 3.35A Iout.

-SSC P7 CSWOI, glow powder around the emitter.

-Medium orange peel sputtered reflector

-UCL, green AR coating

-Powered by 1 AW C Li-Ion


Thanks to Brian, Howard, Wayne & Cindy, Fred, Flashlightlens, & AW for making this mod possible! :wave:

Thanks for looking.

Very well done light. Expensive driver option, but but what the heck, you can't take it with ya'. :twothumbs

That's one expensive light engine! Beautiful work. You and I both have the P7 bug!

 

[darkzero]

Yup, it is an expensive driver option but it was either a Triflupic or the GDs. Since the Triflupic when into my Arc LS I opted for the GDs since I have so many of them. I still have a couple left. Just ordered another Triflupic too thanks to the current levels info Texlite provided.

I isolate emitters using a very thin layer of alumina oxide powder mixed with epoxy. Been using this method for some time now & works very well.

Thanks

The only thing that beats it's beauty is it's cool factor.

[missionaryman]

Ooh, I like red heads. Can she come over & play?

so what kind of brightness output are you getting at 3.35A?

Sorry, don't have any numbers but to my eyes I can't tell if it's any brighter than when I had my CSXPI direct drive off of 3x C4500 NiMhs that was pulling 3.0A. The CSWOI just has a better tint than CSXPI but I think I'd still prefer a different tint. Hotspot is white as can be but I don't like the slight yellow corona.

I like the redheaded stepchild... I must have missed the threads on that one, it must of been a problem light. The 1 c mag body is longer than I'd thought it would be. I guess the heatsink/pill/switch assembly takes up all the space of a 2c mag?
