Shoot - yea, I missed that request earlier. Dunno if I'd be the best one for it, but with a reflector like this size, should be able to get good #'s out of it.

Definitely see a hard-driven MT-G2 and a billion amps in this if it has good heat sinking for the star. If it had a OP reflector then maybe a XHP70 with a billion amps.

I'm think'n throwus maximus prime Smile. This is in the TM36 range for throw, but helluva lot cheaper.

Monster reflector with an XP-L Hi. 4x 26650’s and it’ll run for years on turbo!!

What i really want to see is some numbers on the throw kings in there sizes, the dedomed XP-G2 S4 and/or XM-L2 U4.

If any of those makes some budget disruptive for the max thrower light market, killer numbers i will be really happy :). Because every other option for a ready made light with a reflector this big has always costed WAAAAAY over a $100 and the BOSS is about half that :open_mouth:

And if they really haven’t screwed up heatsinking on it for a XP-G2/XM-L2 class emitter running flat out, there is no way a 1.2kg massive hunk of alu will not be able to eat that heat like nothing. Of course high amp XPH70 builds can overheat anything not aircooled but, i hope at least we get a nice shelf for the mcpcb.

I remember seeing this thread when it was first posted, but had not kept up with it.

I'd also be interested in assessing & modding the "Boss" :)

bring on a GB of the BOSS!

It is more or less confirmed. Do you wish to be included in our interest list?

yes :slight_smile:

Id be interested in a BOSS but with a tripple LED reflector setup… 4500 lumens with 200-250kcd.

I’m interested in a Boss1

Interested

Yes, I finally found this hoss of a light here in the forum. The name BOSS1 made me look. lol

Looks to me like the reflector is comparatively shallow for how wide it is, the head is pretty “square” so with some room for an emitter shelf and driver, the reflector might be on the shallow side. Not that that in itself is so horrible, but it would surely affect the ratio of hot spot to spill. The sample pictures from Palight seem to indicate it’s got a lot of spill, but the hot spot is still tight and concentrated. It’d be fun to exploit that…

1680 is easily doable out of an XM-L2, I’ve had one at 1980 before. Just saying. (and that was in an EE X6!) Remains to be seen if they really are pushing this one that hard. What’s that Tom, around 6A? 5.7? Will indeed need a good emitter shelf to tie it in to all that head mass…

Game on…

I'm hoping we can get those hot FET's Mitko came across. We can't find any around, but he has a local source. All those high #'s of amps and throw Mitko's been getting from single cell lights were mostly achievable by that special FET he's been using, link here: http://www.a-power.com.tw/index.aspx?lang=eng&fn=product_list_pms&ID=104 -- click on datasheet, then Merge Documents.

Sample ready to ship. Paging for TomE !

Nice, I’m really curious what the inside of this looks like. I’m thinking it might make a great Xhp-70 host.

Yeah some good BOSS news :party:

Ooops, replied to your pm this morn - bring it on! Smile

freeme, add me to the boss1 list please. Thanks :smiley:

Done.

Did you get any definite info on the head diameter?

I just requested custom sizes of a few UCLp lenses from Chris at flashlightlens.com, including for the new Convoy L2 and UranusFire 818, so they are shipped and on the way. If this is plain glass, thinking it is, then a UCLp would be an awesome upgrade. He's got sizes in 73, 76, 88, and 93 now, but sounds like he can turn over a custom size in plastic (UCLp) quick. Glass is a whole # story - needs mins and time. The big UCLp's get a bit pricey, and still have to see if the 2.25 mm thickness will work out ok.
