Bought 4 for around 23usd delivered. Pretty fast too.
If you don't feel bad about use the coupon code CPFer 10% off. I did. Tried BLFer but got no luck. Ah well, let it be CPFer since i used to browse CFP occasionally.
They also carry the CM-L U2 but at 10usd. Your call, i was not interested.
Also osram leds at 1.5usd each, nomal and even warm white (150 or 120 lumens respectively)
Just picked up 8 for my newest creation the LOPC - the Low Orbit Photon Cannon with 8 XML's surrounding a single SST-90 - all at 3A and 9A. I'm using the thrower reflectors from Manafont and Kaidomain. It's a few months off - the total cost is way out of the budget range I usually work in... but when I have something to show I'll post for sure. Thanks again for the heads-up - Nutz
Is it not easier to build a few watt worth of laser probably liquid cooled to burn things around? Ah i see... you want a white laser blaster! Planning to do engravings on neighbouring house walls?
On a serious note one should feel the photons slap if fired in the face at 1m.
Just tried my new XM-L flashlight. Warms my face skin nicely at 20cm. o.O
I like that idea and it follows with the Star Wars - naming scheme - but in reality I'll be using 21V 5S LiPo 25C battery pack- somewhere in the 5 to 10K mah range. The batt specs aren't 100% yet although I do have a completed casing/heatsink design. Really this will be more searchlight than hand-held torch (flashlight)... but it will have the heatsinking for continuous duty at 100%... think 2" thick, 5.5" dia heatsink with 0.250" thick casing and active cooling.... reflector area (head) filled with a boron nitride / epoxy mix... and so on.... I'm building this for my brother - he's a police officer and this could come in handy when searching neighborhoods for suspects.... and of course it'll be blazing fun to build despite the $500+ price tag....
