It's a 4D Maglite, with the head off a Jobsmart 101 led light. It has a 75mm Aspheric glass lens. The SST-90 is in the 5700k range "N" bin and is driven by three NANJG 7135 drivers with extra 7135 chips, for a total of approximately 10 amps. Modes are high, med, low. The SST-90 is soldered to a copper star and screwed down to an aluminum heat sink. The drivers are on their own copper heat sink. The switch is a Maglite switch, but it is wired so it does not take the full 10a. The battery holder takes 12 Eneloop AA NiMH batteries, in a 4series/3parallel configuration. 4.8v/6000ma. I did a paracord wrap over the knurling. I think it gives the light a better look and better grip.

This is a thrower. Due to several reasons (one being the large distance between square die focus and defocus, of the 75mm lens), this light cannot be adjusted to a large round flood. You can go from a focused square die, to a slightly rounded die with a little larger beam. This SST-90 gives out a huge square die beam. It's not like one of those zoomies. The beam at over a mile will light up a whole high rise apartment building and at few hundred yards it gives you a beam that covers more than a couple hundred feet square.

No batteries come with the light, sorry. It would just make the cost all that much higher and 12 is all I have for my own use.

This light cost a lot to make:

Maglite $20

Shower head light $20

SST-90 $38

Glass lens $10

Battery holder $18

Drivers $16

Misc- copper, aluminum, solder, wire, AA, etc... $10

Plus my time, which ended up being several days, to fit and finish all of this. I'm not charging for my time, only to cover the cost of the parts I bought, so I can keep building other lights.

Used once to test and once take beam shots and scare the heck out of people for one night. LOL

This is a one of a kind light, as are all my builds.

That thing looks awesome. Very very cool.

Do you own any other lights to compare this one to?

A great build, by the way.

I’ll take it… again…

5

Nice catch! It just killed me to not buy this thing but it was more than I could afford. :'( Make sure to post some long distance beamshots. :)

I was hoping to get out to Black Rock for Balls (http://www.rimworld.com/balls21/about.html) next week, but it looks like that isn’t going to happen :frowning:

7

Well it looks like a cool place.

Sorry it won't happen, but thank you for the sale.

8

I think I’ll rig it up at rug-rat eye level and trigger it off the doorbell for Halloween… Trick or Treat J)

9

Cheap at twice the price… Even cheaper at half the price…

It has arrived! I bought 4 9500 mAh Powerex/Maha LSD D cells for it. Bright little mofo! Should make for a nice head banger too.

I measured the tailcap current at around 6.3 amps. I think one of the driver boards may not be connected/working. Lux meter pegs at 99999 lux at 1 meter.

I need to find some place to let it throw. Hmmm, the Dallas North Tollway is near my place. Runs straight as an arrow for miles. Too bad it’s lit like a Christmas tree. I guess I could see at what distance you can cause cars to wreck J)

11

LOL!! This I have to see… :smiley:

12

Wow! That light really came out great! A shame one of the boards isn't pulling its weight. Imagine how much brighter if it was! 8)

13

Take it over to Lake Lewisville and spotlight some marina restaurant nightlife . . never know what you might see!

14

If one of the boards isn’t working now, send it back and I will fix it. Could be a simple connection or the board might be bad. You need the full 10A, LOL.

Seriously, it needs to be right, I won't be able to sleep at night.

Old,

I would have loved to see what that light would have done here in pure darkness at about 350yds or so at the horsebarn in the background.

I’ll bet it would really light it up.

16

This is what I would call customer service.
What A Light!!!

texaspyro,

thanks for sending the light back to me. I found a wire came loose on one of the boards. Looks like a poor solder joint. It's fixed and I apologize for this happening. I will send it back out on Monday.
