UltraFire A1 is a cheap little CR123/16340 toy light with an awful XR-E and a surprisingly not-awful 5-mode driver (surely low output, but it has NO MEMORY, which means you don't have to get the blinkies unless you go looking for them).
It tailstands. Small miracles, right?
Couldn't possibly be any good, right? And something this far down the price scale must have very little potential to be transformed into something cool. Right? Right??!
Cheap flimsy awful little aluminum pill, oh well... wait, what? Does that fit?!
The reflector needs a relief cut on the base to clear the solder pads on a non-XRE board, pretty standard here, as this is the same reflector used in a lot of small tube lights.
So, a $10 light, that tailstands with no mods, has a nice sturdy snag-free pocket clip, can use a CR123 and live in the glovebox of your car for 10 years and still work when you need it, be a hot-rod with a 16340, and take any driver/LED combo you can fit in a P60 pill... why aren't you ordering one right now? Or two... or...

A1 is using a different pill than shown in the build, it's a XML2 T6 '1C' (6500K)/Sinkpad/3.04A Nlite
MCU-C7s was built using the original pill (P60 won't fit this one), XPG2 R5 '3D' (5000K)/Sinkpad/2.8A Nlite
P60 to give something relatively common to compare with, is XML2 T6 '3C' (5000K)/Sinkpad/direct drive
I'll start a new thread on the MCU-C7s soon, but it's mostly just a straightforward 'install desired parts, insert battery, use flashlight' kind of project. The only tricky bit is mounting a 17mm driver onto a brass ring meant for a 15mm driver.
