Seoul P7 , 3D host and some glow

Hi Guys,

Another humble mod today. Using direct drive on a 3D host to run the Seoul P7 with the Sanyo Nickel Cadmium battery. A good performance battery I must say. And was told that these batteries can be drawn up to 10 ampere with very low voltage variation.

Adding the glow powder is slightly tricky on the P7 unless you have a larger tower to sit the emitter on. But overall still quite pleased.

I also made the connection between the switch and the P7 heatsink flexible to allow easy migration to other D host in future by using connectors.

Alright, let the photo do the talking...

* 3D Mag host
* SSC P7 CSXPI (700 lm - 900 lm)
* UCL lens
* Blue Glow
* D size anodized heatsink
* MOP reflector

Very nice!

Jo,
Nice build. I'm curious how those NiCads perform. Keep the builds comming!

12 Eneloops would also fit in that body and would give 8000mAh.

does someone make a 4aa->1d parallel? or even an 3aa?

I think you can get a 3P3S adapter here.
You'll have to inquire but I'd bet he can hook you up. I'm still waiting on 3A>1D to become available myself.
Or you can just buy a D NiMh 10,000+mAh. Prices are almost reasonable on them now.

Some indoor beamshots. Wall is 2m from source.

Ohhhh this P7 is friggin bright...

awesome build, i've been dying to get ahold of one of those p7's !

this is probably the first build i'm seeing using ni-cd's

remember however that they are notorious for having the memory effect, and could damage the battery if you don't condition and charge properly.

batteries without this effect .. ni-mh and lions
