Will SSC P7 come out in a P60 drop-in?

Buck · Jun 1, 2008

Do you think this will happen? Why or why not?

Possible issues:

1. Is heat sinking from module to light head/body any good?

2. Can drivers small enough for module provide enough current?

3. Direct drive off a single 18650 is adequate, but then people will put it in a light with 2 x CR123 and blow the emitter, so would anyone dare sell that?

4. Other stuff I'm too ignorant to think of...

There'd be practically zero reflector area.

Would a TIR optic solution be possible for a P7 ?

It would be nice and floody, but there is definitely enough reflector area to make it work. There's a TIR optic on LiteMania's site right now.
The biggest problem is heat in a P60. There are 18650 only dropins right now so I don't think we need to worry about the dim who can't follow directions. I'd like to see a nice driver delivering over 2 amps. I can't wait to see what Dereelight has come up with.
