Sofirn Q8 458 HAM'R, DBC say's It's Hammer Time! :)

Awesome custom!!! :slight_smile: :beer:

Fantastic Creation Your Wizardry !! :student:

Lol DB this thing is ridiculous! Awesome work, machining, driver mods, wiring, fantastic!

Scientist, yeah, it’s like that? I do all this with that dumbfounded look on my face. :stuck_out_tongue:

ToyKeeper likes to call me Dr. Frankendale, this light validates her saying that. It’s a Sofirn host Q8, with Noctigon Quad boards and one MaxToch 25mm MCPCB, Ledil Angie Optics and a random 22mm reflector from Old-Lumens kit for good measure. A de-domed and sealed SST-40 from Richard along with 70 and 80 CRI Samsung LH351D emitters in U6 and W6 bins, paired up with XP-L HI and HD emitters in 1A, 1D, 3A, and 3D tints. Teflon and Silicon coated wires, all assembled in a 6061 4” bar bought on ebay. With a Master driver from Sofirn and 4 modified Alex Wells drivers, even the “driver” is an homage to the crazy tactics of the good (or notsogood) Dr.

In other words, an assemblage of parts from the community at large (being mine and Old-Lumens kits merged). And it’s a Monster!

Wow, great work!

I’m with the others Dale. :beer:
Thanks for making the thread your light deserves.
I can believe the car in the drive way in front of you was vaporised when you hit turbo. Hope no one was in it.
Keep up the extraordinary work mate, good one. :beer:

I've heard Texas had some blackouts recently because of 'power cable thieves'..... hmmm I wonder where that red cable is coming from? ;)

Wow dale.. awesome stuff!

That’s insane. I extremely liked how you added a sst40 in the center. Great work dale!

Great build and video. Thank you.
If that strobe isn’t a phaser set on the “stun” setting, I don’t know what is!

Trying to think of a way to measure the current draw, maybe I could create an open tail cap that would allow me to get a clamp meter between the copper negative plate and the tube, but it’d probably end up dropping current and not be accurate. It’s a LOT, gotta be! The math leads me to 86 Amps, I can believe it!

I was going to put 4 Nichia 219C’s in the triangular open spaces between the quads, but then the way I did the wiring took up two of those spaces. So now I’m still debating adding two in the open slots, then covering the “T” wiring connections with 2 of those .458 Ham’r cartridges. And I’m contemplating how I could put a color SMD emitter in the primer pocket of the casing and wire it to the switch LED’s. Might be difficult to run the wires from the switch up to the top but hey, beats digging ditches right? :smiley:

86 amps! That’s insane and I love it.
Where are you hiding the flux capacitor??

It was a bugger to pull off, but the flux capacitor is between the invisibility cloak and the gravity field generator. I know, I know, but I have diamond shielding and so far it’s working… :wink:

THAT , is coool !!!

That is some special build there wow. Any info on turbo run times yet?

UH-MAZE-ING!!

Very nice work :+1:

Wow! Tint looks very NW in the video :+1:

Now I know what that light was on the northern horizon!!!

Impressive monster light Dale. :+1: :+1: Really lights up those fields. Perfect for your neck of the woods.
