Modding a Surefire E2e

[vcw]

Hello,

I'm planning to mod my Surefire E2e.
I want to put a <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1885">P7</a> into a modified head with the driver also in the head.
Will the driver in this thread fit? http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=1770

What kind of battery specs can these drivers and the P7 take?
Can they take 2 CR123a's or just 1? What other batteries are compatible for the driver/P7 and can fit in the E2e body with little or no modifications?

Also, if you can help mod a E2e head for me or mod the body to fit a certain battery, please PM me.

Thanks!
Victor

I modded one of my E-series bezels with a Seoul, driver, and reflector.
I used an E-can from the Shoppe to house the driver. I used a downboy for my driver. I then used a penny with a few holes drilled through it and mounted a Seoul to it as a heatsink. Next I drilled out the stock reflector using a Uni-Bit and replaced it with an Mcr20S reflector from the Shoppe. While the LED/ Driver housing doesn't screw in, it all (the pill) fits inside of an E-series bezel.

The driver you want to use is too large to fit inside the bezel, and heatsinking will be an issue for the P7. Not saying it can't be done, but you will need to be creative.

Hello,

Can you show me some pictures of how it was done and where you bought the items?
Would the heatsink in the P7 in the link above fit into the E2E head?

For the heatsink, I'll also try to get something like this: http://www.unitednuclear.com/aerogel.htm

Thanks!

I could also use Artic Silver thermal compound(http://www.arcticsilver.com/), maybe mix it with the Aerogel.
Or Arctic Silver Epoxy to keep everything in place.
Anyone have any ideas?

o, I found this light that uses the P7:

Do you think I can shave off a few mm to make it fit in the E2E head?

Awesome, I found someone that already made a mod of what I'm looking for:
