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.
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 emittersâŠor 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.
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
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.
