Well no, I would guess two hands for a short period of time. It is a tank light after allâŚ
List has been updated, and stuff put into a chart
Images updated too in the original post.
Updated again, this time a few more lights were added such as the âBLF GTâ and âHID Scheinwerferâ
The_Driver still holds the record for a single-LED reflector thrower at 1.5Mcd but the BLF GT is very close
When people start modding the GT with Black Flat or Synios LEDs we will probably see 2Mcd+
I wonder where you always find all these lights
Well, youâre right, Iâm left, sheâs gone. (a song, made famous by the )
From browsing the german forum of course thatâs how I found the HID Scheinwerfer. And the other two as well.
I think I also have to add the TN42vnM which is at 1Mcd
wow the list is 40 long already!
Not anywhere near 1Mcd, sorry
The list and images have been updated with pscalsâs sceptre, #20 in the world The Sceptre - PScal's quest for a superthrower
Also the recent vinh CFT90 GT mod and I added a 7.5Mcd placeholder for my Syniosbeam, until I can find time to do a better measurement (hoping to get around 10+Mcd)
The Acebeam WL20 should make it onto this list soon too since it is expected to have 1Mcd.
Why did you label all the HIDs as short-arcs?
HID is a subcategory of arc lamps.
I guess it would be more correct to call them âarc lampâ instead of âshort arcâ, Iâll edit that.
Yes I plan to add that and other laser flashlights when someone actually tests them and can confirm the manufacturer specifications.
Hi Enderman
you make me crazy with your numbers of Lux (in a positive way- incentive)
Yesterday I press some paypalbuttons to keep up with your results. (wavien and so on)
Regards Xandre
haha thank you
Other people inspired me to get higher lux, glad I could pass it on to more people
Not yet a flashlight (âright now it is a functional mule, a working test-bed for the optical and electronic architecture of the flashlightâ) but the Light of Xiuhtecuhtli âwith >50 million candela and >6000 lumens on tap, it is aptly named. This gives the LoX the power to reach out and touch targets 9 miles away (ANSI throw)â.
âWe even have enough power in the wash to illuminate the ânearâ mountain which is âonlyâ 1.6 miles awayâ.
Looking forward to it
That light must be unfocused in the picture, correct?
Those 6000 lumens donât really seem concentrated enough to get near 50mcd.
Also, is this an LED or laser based flashlight? Or is that information classified?
Sorry canât answer, iâm not participating in any way to this project.
I was just quoting what they had written on their blog.
Maybe a HID?
It must be LEP or HID if itâs supposed to have a reasonable size (âflashlightâ).
I think itâs LEP. Short-arc HID is too complex for production.
To be more precise, I think they are using multiple blue laser diodes. Otherwise you donât get so many lumens.
Never know whats Lurking around the corner, always a Surprise or two. Maybe one day some peeon will do that too.
Next Question will be , â What exactly is the Definition of a Flashlight â.
Iâm not comfortable calling a Laser a flashlight, but thatâs a peeonâs opinion.
