Product Review: MTE SSC P7-C Flashlight

Four words:
This thing is awesome!

Sooo Isaac has been nagging at me to write a review for this :support: and I finally did. Although it is butched; the total with shipping to my door was around 60 bucks. With 2 batteries and a charger. So far battery one is going on about 70 minutes of work (with minimal fade).
This flashlight has 9 modes as well

Here's an internet example of the power of this light in a parking lot:


I'll have the light cycling video of the light online soon

Where I got mine from
DealExtreme: $40.77 MTE SSC P7 C-Bin 900-Lumen 8-Mode LED Flashlight (1*18650)

 

Need swirl spotting shots Jay hehe

 

WOW. I need to get one of those. Working in a rural EMS area, i'm constantly going to houses in the dark or in houses with very little lighting.

Thanks for the link too!

Does it come with a holster??

 

What kind of batteries or is it rechargeable?

 

Damn that's freaking insane! I may have to purchase this as well along with the Brinkmann!

Actually, I don't know. It's 900 lumens... we might end up blinding ourselves, rofl.

 

man the way that thing looks, id say just get this and forget the Brinkmann. No WAY can the brinkmann even compete with that, plus that LED light is nice and compact.

 

Someone want to do a comparison review on the two? :giggle:

 

Light $40, batter $5, charger $13

$58 isnt bad.

 

I would if i had this one. Brinkmann isnt bad but this thing looks a lot brighter. If I didnt already have the Brinkmann I would pick this up, just for the fact that you can use it for other things besides looking for swirls. Using the Brinkmann for anything besides swirls looks like you want to kill someone with it.

 

Hmm, why not just get the simple 2-mode one?

haha cause for only 5 bucks more you get 6 extra modes :giggle:

 

The cutoff on this is slightly better that's why I got this one...

 

I unfortunately bought the wrong batteries
DealExtreme: $9.00 TrustFire TR 18650 2500mAh 3.7V Batteries (2-Pack) is what I bought
I should've bought these:
DealExtreme: $10.00 TrustFire Protected 18650 Lithium Battery (2500mAh 2-Pack Blue)

The charger:
DealExtreme: $6.71 DSD 18650 CR123A Charger Black

 

Here's another example of the light in action..I'd take pics of this at night but one handed shots FTL

-Disassembled

Sideways cutoff notice the natural light in my room and this..So its not really "over exposed"
The light is more of a natural white, about 5000K in temp I'd say

House on the other side of the street.


See that light at the end of the street

-it traveled to the reflector of the car..wowzers

 

WWOAAHHHH. Taht little lamp is insane with the illumunating power it has.
Brinkmann or bawlin' MTE SSC?
Brinkmann ooorrrr... bawlin' MTE SSC?

Waiting for pix to see how it illimunated swirls and defects :waiting2:

the cylcing modes

 

One swirling one I have

 

Looking good, I was told by some flashlight gurus to avoid the 900-lumen lights simply because it's too bright! The beam wouldn't be as concentrated as f.ex a Fenix Tk10. But it certainly seems to do the job well.

 

Haha, I don't want to have to buy multiple flashlights to see which one works best. :shead:
