Like mine:

Mag 3D - RM140
P7 LED (3) - $26X3 = $78
Der Witchel Tri P7 kit (Single Mode 100%) - EU45
Batteries 4 AW IMR26500 - $15X4 = $60
Wires, epoxy & thermal grease - $60(approx)

Roughly around RM650 - 800 inclusive of shipping.

That is excluding what I did. I mod the switch & did the soldering myself. I also source my own battery sleeve. Modders at CPF charge you for these by the hour ie. $40/hour.

But it was satisfying for me. My first Mag P7 mod.

Thanks for the feed back zenith..

As for the Tri P7, its not cheap, the entire reason can be blame on currency...thats why i'm stretching my projects for months..the level out the cost...
Even a Mag Single P7 would cost more than a off the shelf P7

LMAO! Ultrafire 6PDL, that's the best typo ever


If you're still wondering. The Solarforce L2 looks identical only, but nothing alike. However, original Solarforce is a clone of Surefire, there is also a clone of Solarforce! and more clones like the Ultrafire you mentioned and also there are non-branded ones We're in zombie land I tell u. A proper identical knock-off would be the original Solarforce L2P if you're interested. I've held it from Rookiedaddy's and it's quite good. If you just want the look, the cheapo can work also. But your Seraph is better than all the cheapos!

OIC, i was just wondering, i know a many of them have the same design and the lumens promised are never below par, but rarely the promise is kept. I just like the design.

This arrived at 11am today...It's a Seraph P7 M Series Turbo Head powering it with 3x3.7 with tube extension...good news is its the parts used are the same size as Maglite, lens are 52mm, the reflector is one i've seen used on maglite..i will do a little exchange try fit ti the maglite when i get home...nice





The reflector is very much like Kaidomain's....which is good, i can try different reflector..this light is a flooder...i have to wait till night to post beam shots...

I will edit this post with more full review later tonight..so watch for it..

wow.. what a beauty!

i m interested in getting a Seraph P7 setup

what is the total length of the light. i dont like my lights to b too long

Total length is exactly 20cm..weight is about 250 to 300g



The RM10 didn't come with the head...zenith use 20 cent

thanks metalmania

the setup is not small n not big

I can conclude anything else at the moment coz i;m at the office , but i will do a more detail review and perhaps check the current draw..

Yo Poison Master, you can still run the light with a single SP-6 body with 2x AW RCR123 batteries (8.4v). According to mdocod's review, with 2x Li-ions it draws about 1.4A. So with 2x AW RCR should still be safe for the batts even drain down to 7.0v, and for the clicky switch Though I don't think you are concern abt runtime right, you just want to be blasted for abit


Nice measurement

I was thinking if you want more runtime, you can opt for SP-9 body with 1.5 extender. Run 3x 18500 or 2x 18650

Yes thats true...this light is my support light when riding only...i carry another more conservative light with me.

I use the dimmer light to get to the trail and switch to brighter light off road..usually the dimmer light gets the most workout the off road trail is not too long..

I need more power ..now its running on 3x3.7..it can take 13v...just thinking if the extra 1.9v will make any difference..hahaa...

You can try if 2x RCR has the same brightness with 3x RCR. If it is the same, then the regulator is working well to give a constant current to the LED at around its working voltage from 6v - 13v, so i dont think giving an exact 13v would improve the brightness, the driver will just buck it.

Yes , i was thinking of the same thing, usually they have a tolerance value..slightly below 13v or above 13v, manufacturer usually round up numbers to be on the safe side and protect their product. I've pushed a flashlight driver before and it was brighter.

no mater how much V put in the buck will hold back the extra V more or less like a choke..judging from the glow of the LED and heat generated i don't think the Led is doing much work..i think it can do more..i mean just a quick glimpse at the P7 while its on i can see the 4 sections of the led...i've seem P7's working before and it looks nothing like this...i think it can do more

You can see the 4 sections? I think you've been testing your light long enuf, your batteries are probably low and it fell out of regulation, your brightness reduced.
