Thanks for the info.
My batteries (Trustfire) came in yesterday, along with a charger.
I don't know if the batteries were dead -- I would think so -- but they charged quickly, like, two hours.
Left the house too late to use the P7! So don't know what kind of lumen footprint I've got.
I came up with a cool way to mount the flashlight to my helmet, which I'll show in a separate post when I get some pix.
Took DealExtreme a good long while to get the goods delivered, but the flashlight -- an Aurora -- seems to be of good quality.
