Re: what is the!!!!

Proper spelling and grammar would be helpful figuring out what you want, and so would a proper descriptive title. Also enquiries about builds should go the the mods section.

Try a SST-90.

Re: best lite for $

Well then, you've got a lot of options. For the light housing are you going to use a exsisting light or from scratch?

Have a good read through this thread: How To Mod a Maglite P7 - 38 PICS. It will give you a very good step-by-step intro to modding. There are many other "how to do it" threads in the H&M section describing different mods.

When you've decided what to do, let us know. In the meantime, you need to change your thread title, as it is not very helpful.

If you want a P7 build with multiple levels
follow member Wquiles how-to

https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/212470


You might want to factor in a metal OP reflector and a UCL lens
into your budget as well.


My favourite build at the moment is a tri Cree R2 driven by a tri Flupic
Not as bright as a P7 but a whole lot more fun to build :D
My next build will be a tri Cree XP-G R5 .... I am just waiting for the
board to arrive now
