This is exactly what I have been looking for!!! Finally I can have a P7 in a 6P!!

I forgot to mention that Lighthound.com is also selling the same bodies that Nite is selling. You could order the AW IMR1634, IMR18650 or the standard 123 and 18650 cells along with the body from the same source and maybe save a few $$ on shipping. Lighthound.com sells the AW cells and the Nite/ FM bodies.

Inquiring minds want to know if this would work with the McClassic 2 stage tailcap on an IMR123, and which resistor would give you an effective low beam. EDC shocker, indeed.

I prefer the MTE P7 beam pattern. What brand and model is it? TIA!

Looks like the original sku.12060 from way back.
Be careful. Recently a couple of members got the 2 mode tailcap with the light giving 10 modes or 20 clicks to cycle back where you were.

I had a great, long conversation with Gene Malkoff today... wonderful guy. And ordered one of his P7 "RoomSweepers" (my application of the term to his product) along with a M60F and M60. Can't wait to check these out. Thanks for the info guys... really appreciate it.
And this MTE P7 light at $38 sure looks like it would be worth checking out as well. I've been looking for a potent and yet economical LED flashlight to give a friend for his birthday and the MTE looks like that will be the choice!

Speaking of Roomsweeper, I wonder how this would compare to the Milky Roomsweeper (link here, post #43)? It's probably impossible to tell, but it looks like the Malkoff P7 might have a tighter beam (relative) whereas the Milky Roomsweeper has more flood...no way to know for sure unless they were compared side-by-side.
I just ordered the M60WF and I should have called to see if he had any P7's :sigh:...at this point I'll try the one I ordered before I place another order...

Gene told me his P7 really doesn't have much of a beam at all, he said the light it gives off is similar to a bare bulb lightbulb with a block behind it to keep it from shining back on you. I'm really looking forward to comparing his M60F (flood) to his P7. Now I need to find a host for the P7 because he said it requires a single cell flashlight and my SF Z2 can only take a 17670, not the 18650 which I would prefer. I guess I just need to order a single 18650 body to swap into my Z2 tailcap/body/head.
As a near/close range tactical "blinder/sweeper" I would think that either the P7 or the M60F would probably be a perfect tool!

My experience with the M30WF compared to the P7 is that it "throws better".
Using that term very loosely, it just seams to reach out a little better then the P7.
The P7 will light up a room and it put light everywhere with no blinding hot spot.

I ordered a Fivemega 1x18650 body with C-connections for head and tail and put Surefire head & tailcap on it... as a host for the Malkoff P7 lamp powered by an AW IMR18650.
A fellow forum member mentioned to me that there *might* be some electrical connection reliability issues by using a non-Surefire body... does anyone know whether my plan with the Fivemega body as a host will work well or not? :sigh:
Would I just be better off buying a new SF 6P incandescent for $62 and putting the P7 in with a 17670? I do wonder if a 17670 be too fat to fit into the 6P body? And would the loss of run time with the 17670 (vs. the 18650) be much?

with a 1600mah 17670 I'm reading around 2.4amp after the voltage settles down.
So I would say about 45 minutes with 17670 and a little less than an hour with the 18650.

I used a Trustfire 2500mAh protected cell I ran it for two hours then quite the test. I need a lux meter to record the readings every 5 minutes because my eyes couldn't tell any difference in output till around 1:03 hours and then it dropped slightly till about 1:50. It still had plenty of light at the 2 hour mark, but I felt I lux test would be a better way to test.
