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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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