Well they got the name right at least. I’m repulsed. :confounded:
Hello!
No, the projectors aren’t automotive now, but we’re working on making them so
I am more or less switched off when he mentioned “Bugatti Veyron in the world of torches”.
So they are HID? or are they LED? Sorry for the dumb question if I missed the tidbit somewhere.
The heat issue is the first thought I had when looking at the design.
Thanks for posting on the forum!
I’ll take one. Love the 4300K tint. Should be a way to separate the two halves and just use one individually if u wanted to.
Hello!
Thanks for your support and interest
Yes, we’ve got many questions and offers about separating the two halves and making them automotive, so that’s really in our plans!

They’re HID
(for this reason our topic was deleted from the LED Category forum, lol)
There is only one high mode on this? Way too much powerful for most tasks.
Do you think there will a LED version? I’m thinking CREE XHP70
Hello!
Thanks for your answers!
The flashlight has in fact two modes: power (200 meters) and superpower (1000 meters).
As for the LED version - it is in our plans for future. However, at the present we are working only on the HID version, trying to make it better and better
-How many watts ballasts?
-How many modes?
-Battery pack specs?
If you don’t mind me asking… Not that I’m buying it, but it sure looks interesting and first time I see something like this.
In its current configuration I see no useful application. How would you re-configure it and what end use are you perusing?
Was I seeing a projector step cutoff in the kickstarter video? Looks like HID projectors.
Yes, indeed, the projectors are HID.
how about the heat management?
Can I ask you for a more precise question, please?
If you wonder whether you can feel the heat touching the flashlight’s body, the answer is no - the body stays cold so it’s absolutely safe.
And then, as mentioned, there’s the 2x 40W of heat from those limited size heads with no attempt at finning it off. Perhaps this is not intended for continuous use?
No, it’s well intended for continuous use and, as has been said, the flashlight’s body stays cold and doesn’t get hot
Is the battery pack end user replaceable with standard 18650s?
Where does all that heat go?
Welcome to BLF Repulsor! And Kudos for keeping your “cool” with such a “warm” welcome from some of these guys. We do have some guys here interested in HID, but we don’t see mention of it often on these pages.
You said it would be perfect for search/rescue and force authorities. Other than those, who else (if any) do you see as your potential customers? What are your most targeted use cases? Where would this light be most advantageous against other forms of light?

The heat is kept inside the body, and we reassure you that outside it’s completely cold !

Hi!
Thanks for your kind support, we really appreciate it!
As for potential customers, our flashlight is destined for people who love traveling, hiking, rock-climbing, biking, skiing or any other kind of activities
Ehm OK so you say a xenon light consuming roughly 50w is manageable without cooling fins on the outside and still has the housing not get warm?
You tested this when it was not freezing?

We guarantee that the final product will be 100% right and operate just as described :cowboy_hat_face:
