As some have pointed out, this light is essentially 7 C8s pointed at the same spot. On average that is 105Kcd per reflector. Better driven (6A per LED), this light could reach 7*150Kcd=1050Kcd. Right now 3 of the LEDs are getting 5A and the other 4 are getting 3.75A. I could rewire the LEDs to work with 3s (2p-2p-3p). I estimate that this would increase output and throw by 12, but increase power consumption by 25.
I’ve got a couple 3-500m beamshot locations scoped out on google maps…
To could also carefully drill 3 holes in the lens around the center reflector and fix the lens with bolds (rubber rings under the heads) in the led base plate.
OK, I got some beamshots. The location is a lake. There are small docks with benches distributed along the shore. The distance between the two I’ve chosen is about 500m. You can just make out the dock in the beamshots. Unfortunately it cooled down today and tonight so there is a bit of moisture in the air.
This is what one of the docks looks like.
I have beamshots of 4 of my throwy lights, widely distributed in candela. All photos have the same exposure settings and, at least on my computer, they look roughly what it looked like in real life.
First is an Eagle Eye X6 with dedomed XPL V6 1A with Ledil Iris TIR. It has about 95Kcd.
Next is my fresnel lens Convoy C8 conversion with dedomed XPG2. It has around 166Kcd.
Next is a larger fresnel lens light (60mm active diameter) with dedomed XPG2. It has around 310Kcd.
Next is the monster 7x C8 high output thrower with ~740Kcd.
It puts a lot of light downrange and really is in a separate league compared to my other lights.
