I love the way the polished lights look but I could never use them I wouldn't want to get finger prints on them.

So did you remove the knurling with a lathe?

Since your only using one cell, is the extra length just for laying down some serious beatings!?!?! :eek:oo: :naughty: :eek: :thumbsup:

No kidding... all that space for one battery? That pocket clip seems unnecessary, Maybe you should try a 9P sized light and throwing in a couple of 18500s, or make a 4 X 18650 light and put 5 x 18500 LiFePo4s in there (use a 3-18V drop in) - did you convert it to a forward clicky? Also, if it is indeed a beatdown light, the extra battery weight would really help in your force potential. I would also consider getting a larger diameter tailcap so that sucker doesn't slip out of your hands while you're taking a swing or trying to spear their eyeball out.

My good friend Brad has this exact configuration on his light, but he switched the gunmetal tailcap out with an S8. Looks nice!!! If you don't mind me asking, what are the o-rings at the tailcap for? I put them there on some lights so they don't get marred by the springs in my V71/70/72 whatever it is....

JDM,

Nice MPP-1! I Just ordered the head and that same switch along with a lantern and 18650 extension! I can't wait!

Nice! I personally can't stand anything more than 1 x 18650 in length, haha.

I like my MPP1, but that tan l2 with a001 has been awesome. And the little one is my new EDC.

Just curious, have you (or anyone for that matter) tested the MPP-1 with 2x18650 (or 2xRCR123) vs. 1x18650 to compare the output? I plan on testing mine on both but would like to run it on a single one of my many salvaged laptop cells as I don't have any protected 18650's...yet. :naughty:

Pics would be helpful if anyone has them.

Well, comparing the MPP1 with two RCR123a vs 18650 rechargeable, it's definitely brighter with 7.4v. I can't even imagine what it would be like with two 18650..


Also, the MPP1 is good up to 16v FYI :D
