OLcontest, modified light: 20cm fresnel lens thrower

And now for the finished light!

Meet the Vir-O-blast C19. My pinstripe is certainly nowhere good enough to apply for a job at RR (link), but I still like my paint job.

The vir-o-blast c19 will not infect you, or cure you from anything (although this post may be the start of a new conspiracy theory :person_facepalming: ), but it may hopefully brighten up this dark winter a bit :slight_smile:

Without the virus stencil in place and with the led die focused, the throw number of this build is over 4Mcd, but with the led die defocused and the stencil focused, the virus projection does 800kcd, still a significant number.

And some pictures of the finished light:

Tonight I will do a small video showing the zooming action, and still some loooooong distance shots showing the 4Mcd need to be made.

I love it! :beer: :+1: :slight_smile:

You know, somehow I missed this entire entry - lord knows how. It is amazing. Personally I am not going to be happy until I see a BLF logo in that thrower lol! (kidding of course)
fantastic work, well beyond anything i could muster! Good luck!

Cool :+1:

Regards Xandre

Awesome build, Djozz! :beer:
Iā€™m thinking about numerous images to be projected using that flashlight.

I like it ! :+1:

Haha that little viral addition takes the cake :smiley:

Looks great!

I love how ā€˜simpleā€™ it is on the inside! Very clean build. :+1:

There is even no driver, the battery is wired directly to the led. I was contemplating building in a fuse for safety but that would cost current, I fear too much.

Fantastic build

A sort video from the balcony without the virus stencil to show it is a zoomie. My 10yr son is the camera man so it is shaky, and the focusing of the my phone is a bit lousy but you get an idea. The big trees are at 30 meter, the very end of the square is 125 meter, the square is no match for 4.2 Mcd.

I bet heā€™s proud of his Dad! :+1:

Well, he already takes his dadā€™s weird hobby with a grain of salt Iā€™m afraid, no unreserved admiration :expressionless: . But he does like this one!

Great Video :sunglasses: , it brings your light to life. :+1:
.

Uau, I hadnā€™t seen the final version, this is uber cool :sunglasses:
Liked the name of the build too! Beware, you foolish virus :smiling_imp:

Well done :wink:

Cool
What about rubber feet to not scratch the bottom?

And a a handlebar mount for the bicycle ?

So that you can light up where you are going to be in five minutes time :sunglasses:

Very well done, djozz. Awesome build and finish. :sunglasses:

That zoom function looks very interesting in your video. The different stencils are ingenious. That virus or the spider is going to freak out everyone who sees it. :smiling_imp:

I liked your build so much that I ordered myself a big fresnel lens. Never imagined what cool things can be done with this. 4.2 Mcd should throw incredibly far. :open_mouth:

ā€œMeet the Vir-O-blast C19ā€

This is my kind of humor :wink: Really great build!

I just wanted to thank you for this build and the fresnel lens link. Iā€™ve ordered a few sizes to try out and I think this will really scratch my thrower itch. Who knows, one of the lenses could even end up in the next OL contestā€¦
