It's showtime....!!!! Senior Member 1,297 posts Joined: Jan 2008	damonlbs I did know of such bike light but a bike light is just a bike light can't be used for hand held...well i took this path might as well just ride it till the end.. Deviate a little this is my bike.. pseudoblue I think i solve the problem..its contact..but i will make sure tonight, a little tightening and greasing seem a lot brighter, will report after tonights ride.. Mean while at the evil Metalmania's Lab..... The Famous MgLumen... I knew something fishy with the bezel and lens size, point proven..even the reflector fits.. Maglite reflector - 52mm LF - 53mm cos its threded What else, LED heat sink can be made to fit,just slightly off, opening is 19mm, with a little drilling i should get the Maglite smooth reflector in, but i lost my step drill bit so that will have to wait. Hacked it now its also the same height...i want to try to do some throwing... Just want to ask you guys...is this seni oren or oren peel? this flash has a little bit to much flood...i will also confirm this tonight. Brand new light still want to mod..i say sometimes i do things even i cant explain why This post has been edited by metalmania: Jan 14 2010, 07:35 PM

New Member Junior Member 5 posts Joined: Oct 2009 From: KCH	QUOTE(metalmania @ Jan 14 2010, 10:44 AM) 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 [attachmentid=1398331] [attachmentid=1398328] 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.. Nice head. Can't wait for beam shot tonight. What body are you using? Looks like it's going to give floody beam. The reflector looks more like MOP. Anyway nice find regarding that Maglite.

Looks like it's going to give floody beam. The reflector looks more like MOP. Anyway nice find regarding that Maglite. Thanks LJ...just before leaving i took a few photos of the two lights i take riding..i have no idea the purpose of the bean shot i just took what ever makes sense, i guess its just for comparison...don't know if i did it properly..anyway have a look Picture shot at 1 meter from wall 1 meter from the floor..i can't pull back any further coz the flood will be to big for the viewfinder about another meter above the LF flood is the ceiling. Remember this is nothing like what light would behave i the real world. Painted plaster wall is a good flat surface to bounce light. In the jungle or real world dust on leaves and layered background simple absorbers light..most natural things are matte and dull making it harder for light to bounce off. I will update more soon. Beam shot against real objects to give better sense of the scale of the flood and throw. Thats Ultrafire yaaa not Surefire This post has been edited by metalmania: Jan 14 2010, 08:47 PM

Look at the extreme knurling and 'fin-like' stuff. Nuts. Ouch thats a bonus question...my advise is if you considering it you should start with SP-9, mine was a little bit more coz of extender.. But a roughly about the same as Eagletac M series. This time was a little heavy on the pocket coz i dont have batteries. I'm seriously considering more extreme or custom setup, seem like of the shelf is very conservative. The Lumens Factory was chosen specifically for riding after considering many things, i'm looking at maglight setup now, this was my original plan from the start. Lightjunk- help out the fellow..really unfortunate... This post has been edited by metalmania: Jan 14 2010, 10:50 PM

I remember somewhere in CPF mentioning the LF P7 is floody as compared to MN21 bulbs. Outdoor shot will speak louder.
