P7 question

[The Coach]

:tinfoil: Just a hypothetical question. How would a P7 work in a PD? That should give us something to talk about until the Super Bowl. :devil:

Not well without an 18650 option, but I think we know where that line of questioning is going...:laughing:

I think it will work. Grossly underpowered and without any real collimation. But it would look reeeaaaally cool though :cool:

I betcha Don has at least thought about it. :naughty:

P7s need large batteries and large reflectors to make any sense. PDs dont fit those characteristics as of yet.

With all due respect John, all that is needed is some very naughty converters and as for the reflector a modded McR20 is quite suffice IMO....
I get what you`re saying though.....:thumbsup:

Ever since I got my S27-Cx2 I've been hankering for a P7 Mod...:candle:

Now that would be a great host for a P7.

How hard might this be? Would it require a replacement of the existing NG, etc. driver that might be in it?

The size of the P7 would indicate more of a flood beam than that from a single die LED. With most of the PD lights, the single die LED's are not being driven at full power and switching to a P7 could gain you greater efficacy over a single die and possibly more flux but nothing near its max potential. :shrug:

I personally am more interested in the MC-E due to package size and the ability to go with 2S2P or even 4S combining of the dice.

So its official vapor folks! A McGizmo MC-E light is on the horizon! :D

No your tallking Donn! Is the MC-E easier to focus than the P7? I know the different wiring options make it easier to drive. Maybe a deeper more parabolic 20mm reflector with an MC-E wired 2s2p with a 3-level gdup like driver....just dreaming :huh:

Easily done by one of our great modders...
I however couldn`t get a donkey inside the barn myself......:tinfoil:

LOL! I love it. Don, I volunteer to be a beta tester for the new Ti-PD-MC-E. I will forgo my usual fee!

Anyone up for a Diamond Dragon version of the LS20? Would it fit?

With 4x the flux of the XR-E, and the same size footprint, the MC-E should be the next big hit in emitters. The P7 is a killer when housed in a large (think M@g) reflector, and fed by a LiIon power source, but I can't imagine a way to make it work correctly in a 1xcr123 or 2xcr123 light.

As much as I love my PD-S, a PD-MC-E (with 300 to 400 bulb lumens) would be a nice step into the future. At least it would be noticeably brighter:D

I have a mule modded by Milky with a P7. No long distance throw but OH! how it lights up a room. It would make a great work light. I haven't used it for extended periods so I don't know about the run time though
