I have added many more lights and graphs to my google speadsheet. Maybe you also want to add them to yours.
Will update asap.
Unfortunately the Hyperblitz and the Zielscheinwerfer wonât make it on my list since they are both tethered, not âportableâ.
If people want to see those lights they can go to your document instead
Actually the Zielscheinwerfer ist not tethered. Alex made it portable later on (although rather heavy).
The Hyperblitz has a built-in battery.
The blitz short-arc moon blaster Iâm not so sure about. He doesnât mention a battery.
Youâre right, I was looking at the wrong images that werenât the hyperblitz.
Iâm not sure if the Zielscheinwerfer counts as âportableâ based on the guidelines I mentioned at the start, do you think it can be carried in one hand for many minutes with the ballast and batteries and everything?
Looks a bit too heavy to me, but idk.
I assumed that the moon blaster was battery powered and portable if it is only 120W, but without images it is hard to be sure.
I will have to look into it.
Well no, I would guess two hands for a short period of time. It is a tank light after allâŚ
List has been updated, and stuff put into a chart
Images updated too in the original post.
Updated again, this time a few more lights were added such as the âBLF GTâ and âHID Scheinwerferâ
The_Driver still holds the record for a single-LED reflector thrower at 1.5Mcd but the BLF GT is very close
When people start modding the GT with Black Flat or Synios LEDs we will probably see 2Mcd+
I wonder where you always find all these lights
Well, youâre right, Iâm left, sheâs gone. (a song, made famous by the )
From browsing the german forum of course thatâs how I found the HID Scheinwerfer. And the other two as well.
I think I also have to add the TN42vnM which is at 1Mcd
wow the list is 40 long already!
Not anywhere near 1Mcd, sorry
The list and images have been updated with pscalsâs sceptre, #20 in the world The Sceptre - PScal's quest for a superthrower
Also the recent vinh CFT90 GT mod and I added a 7.5Mcd placeholder for my Syniosbeam, until I can find time to do a better measurement (hoping to get around 10+Mcd)
The Acebeam WL20 should make it onto this list soon too since it is expected to have 1Mcd.
Why did you label all the HIDs as short-arcs?
HID is a subcategory of arc lamps.
I guess it would be more correct to call them âarc lampâ instead of âshort arcâ, Iâll edit that.
Yes I plan to add that and other laser flashlights when someone actually tests them and can confirm the manufacturer specifications.
Hi Enderman
you make me crazy with your numbers of Lux (in a positive way- incentive)
Yesterday I press some paypalbuttons to keep up with your results. (wavien and so on)
Regards Xandre
haha thank you
Other people inspired me to get higher lux, glad I could pass it on to more people
Not yet a flashlight (âright now it is a functional mule, a working test-bed for the optical and electronic architecture of the flashlightâ) but the Light of Xiuhtecuhtli âwith >50 million candela and >6000 lumens on tap, it is aptly named. This gives the LoX the power to reach out and touch targets 9 miles away (ANSI throw)â.
âWe even have enough power in the wash to illuminate the ânearâ mountain which is âonlyâ 1.6 miles awayâ.
Looking forward to it
That light must be unfocused in the picture, correct?
Those 6000 lumens donât really seem concentrated enough to get near 50mcd.
Also, is this an LED or laser based flashlight? Or is that information classified?
