Very nice work. I want one too but I don't have a jeep
No need for a Jeep.
It would also make an excellent EDC torch :)

That would look fine on the front of my xterra. Nice handy work
Now I have to convince myself to sit down for an hour or two and finish up the circuit board layout.. Hopefully, I'll have this thing mostly put together in 2 weeks or so. Can't wait to see the output from 240 watts worth of LEDs :)
I’m interested too. I’ve been contemplating what route I want to go with aux lights on my x, the majority thought is be better off with hid. What emitters you gunna run in that?
When I drew this, the cad tool said it would weigh 4.01831 Pounds. Just tossed it on a (pretty darn accurate) scale. 4.03 Pounds
Color me amazed..
XM-L mostly. The very center will have a couple of XP-Gs for some extra throw.
I considered HID, but I like the solid-state nature of LEDs. I'm going to pot the entire thing in optically clear silicone. I should be able to drop this thing off the empire state building and have it still light up after it hits the ground.
5 XM-l + 2 XP-G?
It looks great, it should leave all our poor flashlights in the dark hehe.
18 XM-L + 6 XP-G
Yeah.. I think it might beat out the solarforces and sky-rays :)
Looks very nice!
WOW Most impressive. If I could do that I would be making my own light bodies. Sadly I can't
I looked at the holes inside, but it is obvious I looked wrong hehe.
Wow, that should be a huge amount of light then.
What the final assembly is planned to look like...
Home anodizing or local shop that does it?
That is some sweet work there PilotPTK!
I love the idea.
Are you going to fit some optics to the LED's to focus them or what is your thoughts on that?
We may have our very own Macs Custom right here on BLF!
Thanks very much! Glad you like it!
Perhaps this picture will explain the plan for the optics.
I hate the mess and smell of anodizing 'stuff'.. For the small cost, I have a shop do it to MIL-A-8625 Type III, Class 2 specification

very nice project gz, hurry up! wish to see it in action :)
How you made the aluminum body?
How to fit and isolate the lens? my laziness make me think to a big rectangle of plexiglas to cover all xD
Most awesome bike light ever!!!! Can I have one with a bar and a helmet mount option?
