Ok , I wanted a P7 and went for this one ..
1/ The head is Glued to the Body , and it took a LOT of force to separate the two resulting in minor damage to the finish of the flashlight , I dont know what SFB thought it a good idea , but they should be fired .
2/ The pill came out easy , the P7 star is on lose , there is no thermal compound to speak of , and I think the heatsinking with a lose star would just reek , and I can see the LED lasting very long . + The two screws holding the star in place are super tight [ yet the star is lose ] . Oih vei , I dont know how im going to get those two screws out , again , some one needs to feel the cat-o-nine-tails .
3/ Other than that it seems to be a nice P7 host , double O rings both ends of the body , nice machining , though the threads feel a little rough , but nothing to worry about , and the tail clicky feels good .
4/ The two things I feel are unforgivable are the lose star , and gluing the head to the body , dumb *** stuff !
I havent even turned this flashlight on yet , and I am so glad I didnt , cos a lose star is only going to heatsink so much , no wonder people have been having problems with this flashlight .
