Don’t we all… unfortunately it is under a non-disclosure agreement. Nothing special about the light itself, but the intended application is. Pictures might provide too many clues about that.
You can build your own, though. Take 3 dozen Bridgelux BXRA-C9000 arrays, drive them a 5A each. Enjoy…
I think after a certain point that they should rate them in btu’s instead of lumens.hY

Let’s see, 15 of those will run me $189,000. And a marriage. So make it an even $1,900,000 out the door.
Ok, I have to make a decision here.

Well, the battery alone does weigh over 40 pounds… (dual 16S A123 20Ah LiFePO4 cells) pumping out around 2 kW. 1 hour runtime on max.

Just give the Chinese chance for the xm-l2 to come out, one bazillion lumens? No worries, comes with two 25000mah 16340 inr’s and charger, ten dolla….
I’d be happy with 8k lumens, batterypowered and handheld for under $100.
I look forward to that day

Either way you still have family here, buddy! :party:
Having a look around and found this 100W 12 x 18650 monster.

That’s not a flashlight. That’s an LED which happens to be surrounded by some aluminum tubing. :money_mouth_face: :*

100W into that Chinese LED array will be struggling to put out 6000 lumens. Add optics and you will probably see 4500 lumens. Been there, done that.

(1) That bike light might not be making 90000 lumens. Well ok, maybe close to it.
(2) Too big…. you can do HMI with smaller stuff.
(You can contact the maker in CPF)
1.5kW HMI, should be well above 100k lumens Out The Front after reflector loss.
