I had the MTE p7 5 mode. Changed it to direct drive. Got bored and cut the barrel off it, used the head as a bike light with a remote 4x18650 pack and a regulated 2.8amp current.

I am so much happier with it now than the way it was. I also like it better than my MagicShine bike light. The thing I don't like about flashlights on bikes is that they kinda wobble just a hair b/c you have a longer / bigger mass to support there that's connected to the light. With a seperate lamp and battery pack...there's nothing there to counterweight the light and move it around.

I'd say go to Hoffmanamps.com and explore either building your own or have somebody that knows what they're doing build you a true 2.8amp light. My MTE wasn't 2.8amps when I got it.
