I use the velcro and rubber mounts above only on the helmet. It takes two to mount an MTE P7 securely and I cut some of the rubber block off one to level the light given the shape of my helmet.

hur he said helmet
 i think how the torch is mounted depends on your preferred angle of beam compared to how you are facing forward i guess, its all about trial and error and once you find that sweet spot, half a ton of duct tape

My best guess is yes, more or less. None of these lights are built to a %100 quality guarantee but as you can get two for such an incomparably low price of £40 it's definitely worth the risk. I'd buy one, or indeed two. -------------------- Get proper instruction www.mountainbikeinstruction.co.uk

QUOTE(Dolbe @ Dec 3 2010, 01:17 PM) Ok just got my 2 SSC-P7,s It is a 2 mode torch, but it is a different switch cycle. one click for high, then a click for off, then a click for low, then a click for off. The older SSC-P7 goes from off, to high to low back to off with 3 clicks, this new torch takes 4 clicks to cycle high, low, off. Other than that, the light is mighty bright and now it comes with a wrist lanyard. It is also about 2-3mm shorter, come to think of it is is a slightly different design.

Ok from what I can tell the two are different. the old is marked as an SSC P7-C the new ones are SSC P7. What is the difference, both are marked max 900 lumens? -------------------- Team Mongoose Oh yeah!!!

Correction on the switch cycle. apparently its 1 click on then half click for hi/low toggle, then a full click to turn off.
