Thanks. I don’t have the need or want to have Michael build another one. Also he wouldn’t do it anyhow (it took much longer than anticipated) and I don’t just have spare Maxabeam heads lying around. 
Now that is a flashlight and one tough mod. Michael is very talented guy.
Still missing were the dimensions and the wheight:
- Length: 32.4cm (12.8in)
- Diameter of head: 14.5cm (5.7in)
- Diameter of tailcap: 4.9cm (1.8in)
- Wheight with batteries: 1.445kg (3.2lbs)
Wheight of some of the parts:
- Head: ~600g (1.3lbs)
- Body: ~541g (1.2lbs)
- Tailcap: 103g (3.6oz)
- Battery holder: 56.7g (2oz)
- Batteries: 144.1g (5.1oz)
The BLF GT is around 60% heavier, mainly because of its five additional batteries and the material around them.
Time for more beamshots. I'm getting gloser to my goal of 2.6km (1.62mi) beamshots.
To make these shots seem more realistic they need be viewed in fullscreen mode on a large monitor in a dark room. This way much more detail can be seen.
544m(1785ft):
Tele:
498m(1634ft):
Cell-phone beamshot very close to the light (makes the beam look wide):
1700-1800m (1.06-1.12mi)
Tele (overexposed by a lot):
A darker target next to the building (1500m - 0.93mi) (with my own eyes I couldn't see this being lit up):
2100m (1.31mi) (the mast, the lit up castle is around 4.8km away):
Great job. Beautiful light.
Show them direct comparison with 300 kcd Brinyte you have?
This?
It's a bit too close actually, the beam of Excalibur isn't fully formed yet.
I thought on some fresh outdoor pics. Lets say 200 meters or less distance?
It is clear even from close pic that candela difference.
It might take me a while, it's cold currently . Here's a gif comparing it with my 330kcd Brinyte. I used the old beamshots ("only" 1.5Mcd) and brightened the pics a bit to make viewing them during daytime easier.
Distance: 280m
Crazy 
Very impressive project, love how the maxabeam head is so well integrated into the body, like it was always meant to look like that
I am a big fan of long throwing lights, there is nothing like putting a spot of light over a mile away, i have a Gen3 Maxabeam and you can pretty much put a spot of light on anything the eye can see.
So 12-13 milion candelas?
That's a lot of work. The Maxabeam needs to measured in around 100m distance to get accurate values.
EDIT: here are some new 50m (164ft) beamshots, again with the 330kcd Brinyte. Unfortunately there are overexposed by too much. The hotspot of the Excalibur is blown out.
So this is 1.5mcd vs 300kcd. Impressive indeed :+1: Now I hope in future you will be able to reach even more than that with better led emitters and get close to that maxabeam V3 12mcd mark.
The pics are new, so 1.7Mcd.
Beating the Maxabeam will be possible with laser phosphor. With LEDs it will be very difficult. Could take 5-10years still or maybe never.
Oh. I see you are very optimistic guy lol 
My light should beat the maxabeam in less than 5 months
Obviously it will be a bit bigger, but still counts as a flashlight
Does it have wheels and a remote?
If not, I think it still can be called a flashlight!
Looking forward to you post&pictures.
Grtz

Well yes, of course.
I meant beating the Maxabeam by using the same head or at least the same reflector size. Not possible with LED currently.
With a lens the same size and a custom wavien collar that collects more than 60 degrees it should be possible using a synios LED.
Problem is that getting a lens that size will require a custom made option which will cost $1000, and another $1000 for a custom collar.
Also it will output like 100 lumens not the most practical thing.
But you’re right if you’re talking about using the same optic, the reflector, then it will probably be at least 5 years or maybe never since the laser+phosphor will replace high intensity LEDs.
I think the acebeam W10 will also only produce a few hundred lumens or maybe even less, they don’t even advertise the lumen output lol.
