Ultrafire C2 SSC P7 mod (with beamshots)

[jirik_cz]

My modding skill is quite low, so workmanship is pretty inferior to other mods. But it works The LED is direct driven from 18650 battery. Runtime is about 45 minutes with Trustfire 2500 and the flashlight gets hot pretty quickly.




I had to raise original reflector about 1mm. Now the beam is absolutely perfect, very smooth without any donut holes or artifacts. Hotspot is very wide and spill is bright.



In comparison with DBS it doesn't throw very far, but it lights up very wide area and as you can see it is brighter than Trailtech 13W HID.

what kind of heatsink being use?

thanks

 

[jirik_cz]

It is just modded original heatsink.

It looks like the C2 makes for a great host for the P7. I really like my HAIII C2 but I've been fighting the urge to leave it alone. The problem is that I don't really use it as it is. I think if I do the P7 swap I will use it much more often.

What can I say...I'm sold.

Looks good

How did you isolate the base of the LED?

 

[jirik_cz]

LED is glued with Arctic Alumina Adhesive, so it is electrically isolated.

 

[KrisP]

So you didn't push it down hard? It's jsut sitting on top of the AA? I've found using AA if you push the LED hard down onto the heatsink, you can create an electrical link from the slug to the heatsink.

 

[jirik_cz]

I applied a thin layer of AAA on slug first and after 30 minutes I applied a thick layer on heatsink and attached the LED.

Ahhh... Thanks

Nice... what value resistor did you use?
Does the color-tint or beam change as the light heats up?

 

[jirik_cz]

The LED is direct driven from 18650 battery without any resistor. I didn't notice any tint shift after it heats up.

This P7 board from Kaidomain also works: http://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/ProductDetail.aspx?TranID=4338

Good luck making that fit when it has no battery contact on it.

I used a tri-flupic in mine, all three channels in parallel.

How much current does the tri-flupic give the LED on high?

Wow that sucker looks bright, nice work!


Can't wait to get my MTE SSC P7 from DX.

man i am itching!!

 

[jirik_cz]

Anyone know where to buy these optics? http://www.sekonix.com/modules/catalogue/(P7)_P7-CL_spec.pdf

With that collimating lens it will be possible to change this light from flood monster to throw monster :devil:

 

[KRS1]

so you did the run test for full 45 min and no heat problem?

man my hands getting itch too

Just wondering if that board from KD fit in C2
