M6 Seven Sisters (aka 'Papa Bear' :wave
. Surefire M6 host
. RPM titanium bezel
. Four McR19XR reflectors
. Three 19mm aspheric lenses
. Cree XR-E R2 WC emitters
. Blue Shark with Remora driver
. LED Zeppelin MZXR-7 kit
. Fivemega 3x17670 battery holder

Both light have three regulated levels.
Low = 110mA, Medium = 310mA, High = 860mA.

Theoretical Lumens output at 350mA (x2 at 1A): 7x (114 - 122) = 798 – 854 Lumens.
Let's say they are pretty bright especially on high.

First light (reflectors only) has almost perfect beam; second light (reflectors/aspherics) has great throw.
Expected runtimes: low > 5 hours, medium ~1 hour 50 mins, high ~40 mins.

Wow!

Indeed, great mod!

Could you post a beamshot of the light with the 3 aspheric lenses?
Which lenses do you use?

Making beamshots of Papa Bear would be difficult as this light moved to a far away friend some time ago
but I'm sure this post from Dennis will answer all your questions.

Lenses are turned down acrylic lenses from DX made by Macc and supplied by LED Zeppelin.

Yes, it did, thank you!

Take out the middle reflector on papa bear and put in a 4th aspheric.
:twothumbs
That's how I set mine up. Have you ever removed an optic or reflector and let that particular emitter be all flood? It works well too.

Nice mods Freddy! Glad to see you still cranking out those nice multiemitter mods old pal. Thought you had disappeared for while. :twothumbs :wave:

Well... I'm not a flood guy...

I was going to try this but when building 'Papa Bear' I had only 3 aspherics on hand. :shrug:
Still not sure what I like most... the beautiful beam of the reflectors or the extra throw of the aspherics. :candle:

Hey Freddy!

Very nice Mods! :thumbsup:

So i hope you have enough time for modding other lights now... :naughty: :naughty:

 

[Sgt. LED]

Well I figured with this kind of beast I should let it stretch it's legs a bit and keep the really pretty beams to the lesser output lights.

I can make lots of them have flawless lookings beams but I only have one 7 Cree awesomeness. Still I didn't go for ALL aspherics, have to have something for the mid to short range so I can avoid tripping up.
