Sky Lumen Nguyen Flashlight

Only if you miss it the First time

Look at these Bullet comparisons —- In the video they’re shooting the T-Rex—- 750 grain 2480 ft lbs / sec with 10,180 ft lbs of force Elephant Gun

WOW! How many amps for that output? Very impressive build, Surefire only through theirs in a dryer.

I like this flashlight a lot. Hope the price will not be too high.

Unfortunately it is too high :frowning:

I cant get around that unless have it made in China.

:wink:

at least Vinh is honest :wink:

Finally we can get a true 10k+ lumen single cell flashlight!

I would be VERY surprised if it could stand up to 9mm. LockPickingLawyer and BosnianBill recently shot a bunch of locks and InRangeTV has been doing AR500 armor penetration testing.

SLN Test 8: Subzero

SLN Test 9: Boiling Point

SLN Test 10: @ Depth

Your excitement is contagious! Congratulations on passing the deep water penetration test! :+1:

That was my fav test video to date. Gave me a tear or two from watching you as happy as you were.
Congrats Vinh!
and that’s not even a diving version! The drop test is my most anticipated video. Can’t wait.

Thank you for all the support! I dearly appreciate it. First step to everything is usually the hardest.

The drop test is schedule for tomorrow. We will do the drop test with the unpotted light engine that we have been using for all the tests so far. If it pass then wonderful. If the light engine fails then I will make another light engine that is potted and redo. Potting will be optional at time of order. I suspect most will not need this option as it adds little benefits if our current light engine passes all the drop tests.

Today after the “@ Deapth” test I found out the optics seems to be a bit bent from heat. I am sure the “Boiling Point” test did this because I did not notice this before that test. Beam is still good and light of course operated flawlessly but I thought I mention that. If you are going to cook the light without a battery inside then the optics is the weakest link.

Can guarantee you this light will be $300+

If we buy it from you? :slight_smile:

This is basically a custom Made-in-the-USA light in very limited quantities. Given the manufacturing cost here and the amount of time and effort spent developing and testing this light, even at $300, I don’t see how it is profitable, but it is a good start and is probably the 1st USA made light geared toward flashlight enthusiasts so I will definitely buy one to give my support. Hopefully the 12-emitter version won’t be too much more expensive than the others. :wink: I will probably supply my own emitters

Would be interesting to submit say a convoy S2 or an other reasonably priced tube light to the same test at the same time to have a baseline and validate the design choices.

I remember some years back at CPF people were suspecting a particular light with very thin walls would be fragile, someone torture tested it in like manner and it passed with flying colors.

Not much I can do about the host price. I am lucky Larry help with the drawings all for FREE. Otherwise I wouldn’t make a single dime on it if not acatully lose money. The light engine is where I am hoping to make the profit. However I will make them as affordable as I possible can especially the 12 LEDs one since that is one I want as many people to have. Just looking at it would be a joy. The good news is you only have to purchase the host once. It should last a lifetime and upgrades down the road wont be too pricey. Future lego parts are also in the planning to make the light suitable for even more audiences. Also if the light is made from 2011 we might be able to drop the price may be $50. If we go 6061 may be a bit more…But I suspect once we have 7075 in hand it might be worth it just to go all out with this metal. I cant wait to get my hands on it.
