Are the Ultrafire led lights a Chinese namebrand or is it a legit company? I have one of their flashlights and they're NICE, but I don't see Ultrafire anywhere else.
@Esperantisto84 Its a Chinese knock off company. They produce some good lights, some mediocre, and some garbage. This one is one of the good ones, they have an XML version out now.
CMIIW, aren't every flashlights that have more than 1 mode should have some sort of electronics inside (which act like a regulation too), not just directly connect to the battery?
Cree also makes these 4LED flashlights. My favorite is the R2 model LEDs, something with the diameter of a penny, it can light up a quarter of an acre with pure white light, I like yours though, it comes with a rechargeable battery...always a nice touch :)
Im wonder about the shipping details, because Dealextreme is in hong kong. What are the fee's shipping it to North america????? Plz ?? would like to buy
I bought the Aurora AK-P7-5 from DX. Same emitter and same battery. I can't believe how bright a small hand held led flashlight can be. This was my first high powered led light, have another that is 200 lumen but powered by D batteries so I get great run time. I want to find a similar sized light as bright as these P7's but in more a spot light pattern for distance.
all you need to do is make a coil of desolder wire and solder it from the bottom of the stock spring, to the tip of the spring. Do this to each and you should see a big difference. Hope this helps :)
you should really add more wire to the clickie spring and the head spring. It will lower the resistance and give you a significant increase on power. Mine stock could drive 2.2 amp at 4.1v but now draws 2.83 amps at 4.1v!
one thing about light output is that it takes 3x the power to appear twice as bright. looks to me ~600lm, not bad at all for such a small light compared to most large p7 and MCE's on the market

these are the noted problems with the MTE P7-D
1. ships from hong kong, NOT the usa
2. only works with a rechargeable battery
3. some of the units shipped out do not work
4. (900) Lumen claim once more is about double the real output
buy the X-glow Quad Die CREE Chip LED flashlight instead

How's the spread/spill on this light? Pretty wide?
I'm looking to mount this on a weapon and would like a good spill/beam ratio (50/50 or 60/40).
How's the battery life on the highest setting?

It has a very wide hot spot, appropriate to use as a headlight for a bicycle at night. battery life is ~1hr with quality AW 18650 cells
