My wife is staying at her friends house overnight, boy am I going to have fun!

LOL! And my neighbors think I’m nuts!

That is fantastic, you should just leave the house dark, and when the wife walks in an turns on 20,000 lumens… Youtube can make you rich they say….

So I assume that may be the ultimate flood light.

I think it looks great. If the lumen police drop by, please vid their visit and post on youtube for our entertainment.

BTW, if the 20k/lm from that conundrum remains unobscured by trees and terrain, lit every night and visible from the air, its entirely possible that pilots might start using it as a ground reference/check point. “Bradley Approach, Delta 571 heavy is niner thousand descending over dchomak, inbound for landing 24. And man, it looks like he added another 50 bulbs to his place again!…”

Awesome. Does look like you have a visitor from outer space.

Does he have enough bulbs? Hahah. I’m picturing Homedepot penny/deal loot overflowing out of every storage space in that house. :smiley:

I think the chainable fixture deals would look kinda neat as like a chandelier of sorts.

great pictures!

made me smile (alot) :bigsmile:

LOL. I hope the wife does not leave before she gets up the driveway as she may well not recognize this place as her own home if she comes home at night. I'm not sure if we should be calling the looney bin for a pickup.

Extremely impressive
Soon a black hole will open under the house to counteract the universal lumen imbalance

Each bulb only draws about 100mA. The biggest stress is physical, 4 is as high as I dare go with out additional support. Those CREE full flow bulbs have no heat sinking but rather rely on airflow. They are quite light weight as LED bulbs go.

These adapters do better hanging upside down, so I probably could use all 6 that way. It would have to be indoors though. Using all 6 would be 30,000 lumens.
I gotta order some more :slight_smile: :smiley:

that 20, 000 omni directional light is insane. do you have a picture of that not turned on? i would like to see what it is.

and are those numerous lawn lights solar or they wired?

This is awesome. By now you must have belly-cramps from laughing out loud while running up and down the stairs with hands ful of LED-bulbs.
Let’s wait what the wife says. When we don’t hear from you on monday, you have been taken. By some probing extra terrestrial, or by the Men In White.
BTW, now you’ve almost cornered the LED-bulb market, shouldn’t you send a memo to the FTC? 0:)

I wonder what it looks like when the wife throws it at you from a moving car ?

pics please

That’s awesome! I got one of the 4x splitters to use in my garage: lighting is poor there, with only 2 ceramic single-bulb ceiling fixtures.

I had been using 2-bulb splitters to have four 100W-equiv. CFL bulbs, but that wasn’t bright enough. My ultimate plan is to add a third single-bulb fixture, then use the 4x splitter in the middle, with 2x splitters on either side giving me 8 bulbs total. Then, with the Lowe’s 60W equiv. LED bulbs, I should finally have enough light to work there. Of course, it 100-degree summer time now, so I’m not in a hurry to move on this project until later this fall when it’s cooler, and gets dark earlier.

Now, I’m wishing I had seen these 7x splitters earlier; they have good pricing on the 3x and 4x splitters as well at Banggood; I may have to place an order soon…

Fuel for your fire. You know that they make octacopters that can carry 10 pounds easily. Try that 20k light with a battery pack at night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e7RJjIb410

You should start all over and use these. Save what you already have for something else.
The garage is what I originally got these for. They work very well for that. This is 5600 lumen.

My friend, once he saw the 3 that I ordered for him, wants 6 more. I just ordered another 10

The 1W landscape lights are wired, those solar powered ones are useless.

I tried to add 2 more layers and use 37 bulbs for 30,000 lumen but it was unstable, wanted to tip over.

Maybe somethings are better left undone :smiley:
Here is a pic of it off the floor lamp and upside down on the driveway during daylight hours. 3 minutes later I plugged it in. Notice how the surrounding area in the shot darkens as the light from it overwhelms the camera.

Hey, I just had an idea! How about I get some cheap wardrobe mirrors and construct an array of reflectors
? :slight_smile:

More, more! Great stuff here :-)

Its extremely windy around here today, grey skies, garbage cans, cardboard and recycle bins are blowing around the neighbourhood, the black hole from the lumen overload is beginning :open_mouth:

Well - that’s just par for the course, my friend. We’re all fanatics, in most people’s eyes - until they find themselves in a power outage, or some other situation, where they have no light, and wish they had something.

Then, we’re heroes.

Go figure :expressionless:

Until power is restored
