SSC-P7 Mod for a 3MCP spotlight?

[rockz4532]

i really like my Dorcy 3 million CP spotlight, but the battery life is like 15 minutes, and im affraid the plastic lens will melt in the heat. So i am trying to get an idea of buying a SSC-P7 from dealextreme and modding it into the light, but still retaining its focus. I havent seen much people even speaking to mod a spotlight. im not good at soldering or anything of that sort, but i could get my dad to help(BTW im 15).

A P7 light is really bright but even my aurora with it's 2 inch reflector won't throw like those million cp lights, I get only about 500 feet of throw. You may be happier with a pob/12v hid spotlight.

The Dorcy has a pretty large reflector so if you can get the LED to the right focal point, you should get a pretty narrow beam compared to most P7 beams.

You'll need a heatsink, a driver, and of course the LED. Thermal epoxy will also be needed.

What voltage and capacity is the battery in the Dorcy?

also i could make a new light, since i have another dorcy 6 inch reflector laying around, i had another spotlight that broke.
Any suggestions?

You'll probably end up like many of us...spending more money by buying too many not quite good enough lights...when you should consider saving up for 1 or 2 awesome lights. May I suggest the N-30 spotlight? I know, the light is expensive- how about as a Christmas present? You can dream!
