Just off the CNC - Update: It's Alve!

Sexy time.

Theeere we go! :)

Now, let's see...

omg, just looking at what you've done before --> expecting awesomeness again! but in a smaller package

I'm an offroader, and just a few days ago, me and a friend were talking about Xml potential vs. available led bars for 4x4 use (which I believe use P7, Xre or Xpg emitters, but none seen so far with Xml), so I showed him the potential of Xml turning off headlights of my Nissan Patrol and driving in the middle of the woods (pitch black) just hanging my DRY out of the window at High setting.

The beam pattern was less than perfect, ok, but lighting road and surrounding was great, and that was with 3 Xml only. Let me say the stock headlights were dim and yellow in comparison. Now let's imagine your 24 Xml bar! Wow!

I'm following your build-up with growing interest, my electronic knowledge is basic so I have no chances to make my own lightbar... Think that my original very rough plan was to try to use two DRY head assembly, making on a lathe some sort of support to thread the heads on, and then experiment with RC model Electronic Speed Control (fet based) to drive the emitters.

As rough as it sounds, I still like the idea of the RC ESC for driving the leds as it would allow dimming from zero to full power at the turn of a knob on the dash. Not sure how to limit max power though...

Would you think a similar dash "linear" control would be available with your lightbar?

I really hope to buy from you one of your superb lightbar in a near future (black anod' for me, thanks!), or at least I'm willing to do that if they are not going to cost a kidney and some more... ;o)

I know I really really want!

Most. Awesome. Picture. Ever

:)

Holly $hit man :) i want to see this in the dark

I think that your beam will move Earth from its orbit !?!

Massive respect for developmenting the electronics, You have to have big head for that :)

Wish best for project from Croatia & to see this monster at the market ;)

I am building similar project , but with only 6pcs XML T6 for my ATV due to limited power from generator, I will open thread

again - massive respect for doing this !!

Aloha and welcome to BLF dinac!

Welcome to the madness, dinac!

Any news?

Want to see this in the dark? I want to see this in the day! lol.

me to, me toooooo :D

phenomenal job PPTK, can't wait for beam shots :D

[Quote; bose301]Where in Michigan are you from? I am originally from Michigan, lived there until I graduated from school and moved to NC for a job, I really miss Michigan though to be honest.[Quote; bose301]

Hello PPtk. I just read this whole thread today and it is awesome what you are doing! What a small world! I am from N.Carolina (around Asheville) but was dragged up north when I was a child (4Years old) and live in South Eastern Mi. for 56 yr. I am South (downriver) of Detroit and believe me I shall have no problem moving back down South (N.C. mountains)in about 1-2 Years as I have yearned for that day for many years. I love MI but at about age 40 (I"m 60) my southern heritage kicked in and the yearning for home started calling me. My dad left me a 25+ acre place outside Black Mountain/Old Fort. Now, at the risk of being presumptuous, instead of sending your unit to Foy LOL (sorry Foy), for a review, I could sacrifice (for the good of BLF) and head your way (or meet in the middle for lunch *or dinner when it is dark hehe*) and see this thing in person? I did a bit of fishing in Lake St. Claire many years ago (also stayed at a Holiday Inn harhar). We could do this at your leisure. Great build/thread

Where abouts n NC are you at bose?

Keith

When this is on it will always be day

come on PPTK give us sneak preview

I was wondering, what is the weight of case ? and surface area ?

tnx !

hate to bump up an old thread (not really, i love this thing), but what has become of this beauty?

I would also really love to find out how the rest of the project went, and look at how much it would cost to buy a kit
