P7 3-mode driver?

Does anyone knows of a 3-mode hi,lo,strobe driver for the p7 I can purchase online?

No strobe, but a very good and powerful driver for the price.

Also, very reliable. Handle's 2xCR123's without a problem. You don't want to exceed the 6.0v limit, by using 2 Li-Ions, or other battery configurations that reach over 6 volts.

Edit: When I have a new driver board made for my P7 light, I'll see how the Shining Beam driver fares with 2x 18650's. Maybe it'll work after-all, but at the users own risk.

That is one of it's cons as well. If it handled 2 18650s that would be nice.

Thanks for the info guys. If anyone knows of one with strobe let me know.

Doesn't this board look kinda similar to the 7135-chip drivers? (also the 6v limit of 7135s)
It will be interesting to see 2x18650s on it, though I'm afraid the outcome would be slightly costly

It uses the 7135's (but it doesn't seem to dim with them, at least when using 4xAlkalines), but it'd be worth the $7 investment, to see how long/well it'll handle it, in case someone needs to use them in an emergency. I could probably just ask Bryan if he's tested them with 2x18650's, though, to keep me from blowing mine up.

The P7/MC-E Driver from shiningbeam is awesome! It's an 8x7135 Driver, i use it for a p7 and a mc-e and they're both pretty powerful. The mc-e one blasts away my p7 dropin from nailbender on 1x26500...(not on 2xcr123 of course...)
So, if you don't have one yet and don't want to mess around with 19 modes and strobe and whatever, get one!

can the sb driver be potted without issue?

I always suspected it from the pic, Thanks for confirming that :thumbsup:
Seems like a good MC-E/P7 driver, I'd buy some if I had a good host :naughty:

I can ask Bryan next time I see him online, if you want.

Edit: He isn't sure if it can be, as he's never done it himself.
