Pretty cool. Looks like a fun project. You are essentially adding a lot of thermal mass, but not dissipating it to the air. So how fast would your water heat up?
Your reservoir looked to be around 1L, so had a heat capacity of around 4000 J/K. The XHP70 was putting out maybe 50W of heat, so the water temperature would increase 1 degrees Celsius in about 80s. So if you started with the water at 0 degrees it would take 66min to get to 50 degrees.

Your company’s graphic design team is first rate, they deserve more money.

If you build another one like this, important safety note - don’t cross the streams!

Add some ice, much higher heat of fusion

for those lights way beyond 30000 lumens I did in the past talk about watercooling with PC watercooling components and battery in a backpack
Woot! I knew I was sure to win a prize of some kind

Sounds reasonable. I would be out of battery before I was out of cool…
I’ll let them know. Most day’s I’d like to fire them :student:
It really is a lot of fun. No overly practical, but fun!

Love your videos. I’ve said it before, you have a great sense of humor

The one thing I learned is that any unexpected problems can be solved with 2 part epoxy.
Funny creative and informative simultaneously. Win.

LoLoLoLoLoL vestureofblood! There are some inexpensive and good waterblocks you could have used, with the MCPCB installed over.
I understand that was a sort of quick “let's see how it goes” project, though.
Did I read someone claiming “up to 18A (2S) for the newer XHP70.2s on an L6” in the video comments? Freakin' seriously? Can you make some scrambled eggs with it?

Very cool build, you kept my attention, kind of mod I like to see. Could see this easily being used on a scuba light, two opening and a pump, no tank needed.

Cool demonstration of how high power leds can run stable at these powers, and a fun video to watch

The bit at the end where you were running around with that thing was priceless
Thanks for posting (and providing proper captions) :+1:

I have some of the 70.2s on the way. I will do a test with them once they land.

Very Nice—That light is almost as big as the BLF GT—— JK
Did the water eventually get hot in the jar
Not really. Probly the longest I have run it was 10 minute bursts. This took room temp water up a few degrees, but not even what I would call warm.
