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.
There is someone standing at the right side of a tripod, that gives an idea of the size of the box emitting the light. There is light âescapingâ the back of the box that is larger than the guyâs head, and because of the â3 petals cloverâ shape of the light at the back, I would speculate that it has at least 3 emittersâŚor 3 groups with several emitters.
It also looks like this âboxâ has some sort of syniosbeam form factor = much larger in the diameter than in the depth.
I tend to think the same.
You missed one, the GRB-080319B.
Oh, you said world⌠I thought you meant universe.
âThe afterglow of the burst set a new record for the most intrinsically bright object ever observed by humans in the universe,
2.5 million times brighter than the brightest supernova to date, SN 2005ap.â
Oh haha, I thought you were part of their team
Yeah, itâs definitely more than one, there isnât a single blue laser diode powerful enough for that many lumens.
Yeah me neither, but LEP isnât actually emitting laser light like a regular laser does.
Itâs just replacing the blue LED underneath the phosphor with a more narrow-band blue light diode, which in this case is a laser.
The list has been updated, now a laser flashlight has been added Maxtoch L2K
As well as a few others.
Still waiting on more info about the âLight of Xiuhtecuhtliâ (which claims >50Mcd) before I add it to the list.
Would like to know at least one more significant digit, it could be 50, it could be 51, or whatever.
Also itâs still not certain if they are using laser phosphor or some type of lamp.
Looking forward to adding more laser flashlights to the list in the near future.
The list has been updated for lights above 2Mcd.
Below 1Mcd I still have to add a lot of lights, since many LEPs and BLF-GT-like superthrowers.
Iâm planning a build based in a 5 gallon bucket with a 30cm fresnel, hope I can make the list.
As long as the battery is inside and the bucket has a handle, it should
âSâ ANSMAXABEAM RĂHRLE
