SSC-P4 (Z-Power) Optics

[Daedal]

Not sure if this was asked already, or if they exist somewhere else.

Are there any beam shotsof the P4 optics? How are the different ones different? Does it make a difference to use them rather to use the plastic cover that comes on a M@G? Also, which, if any, would fit on a 3C? Are they simply a put-it-on-top-of-the-LED kind of thing?

:candle:

Thanx a ton;

Re: P4 Optics

Which P4 do you mean?

Cree XR-E P4 or SSC-P4?

The best result in view of throw in a Mag you'll get with a Cree and an Aspherical Lens.

There are a couple different options for you, optics or a reflector. In my experience, optics will put more light into the "hotspot", and have less side spill. A reflector will give more light in the sidespill, and the hotspot will usually be less bright than with an optic. Photon Fanatic sells both for the Seoul P4's.

Most optics/reflectors are used with a modded mag, that is one with an aftermarket heat sink. The optics can be epoxied to the sink around the LED, or else the flashlight lens actually touches the reflector/optic and holds it in place. Since I have never seen the Mag LED up close, I don't know if either an optic or reflector would work with that light.

Hope this helped.

Yes this is exactly what I wanted to know.
