That’s a clever design. How did you cut the bracket—water jet or wire EDM? Does the trigger handle control the power buttons or just used for aiming.
i would guess that Triple beams would be handy for spotting drop bears in the outback.
Cut with a water jet, switched individually, handle is just to carry it but I have been looking for a scope to go on it. It is a beast of a light, another 12 would be over the top but fun to play with.
Those are mouth-watering photos. Thank you for sharing that. The closest I can get to that is one BLF GT94 in each hand.
You have my vote for most exciting photos on the forum for this year.
I can tell that you do real work, by the picture of your thumb.
They’re the fidget spinners of the flashlight world.

My complements to whoever made this video. I find it so much more useful than shining a light at a tree. This shows the real capability of the LEP however it also shows its limitations. The LEP clearly penetrates deeper into the tunnel. This is a truly incredible video. It makes all the other flashlight test videos look amateur.
I wired these up to see how it would work, when I get time I will make a custom grip with a plug for each light and single switch.
It is a beast and gets a lot more use than I would have thought.
Have pesky drones flying around all the time? Perfect LEP use. 
Nice quad, grin! 
I did something similar after the Maxtoch Shooter 2X group buy in 2016.
I ordered lights for myself and three friends and couldn’t resist a quick test before distributing them to their new owners. 
I did it again with seven Q8s in 2018 after that group buy.
The seven Q8’s must be about equivalent to the GT4, both in output and throw
How do you light up the middle q8?
I used a chopstick! :laughing:
These rigs only existed for a day before I had to give the lights out to my friends who had ordered them.
1 Thank
Very very nice!
LEP: My excuse for delaying in getting one is that I don’t want to create an accidental hazard for my neighbors. Even though they don’t think the same way about each other.
Real world use: having some real fun!
I don't own one (yet) either, but of everything I read I most align with dave1010 here. First off, fun factor as a backup light when hiking and having access to enormous throw with a "small form factor", and secondly the day that true edc sized LEPS are available in like 16340/18350/ but more so 14500, I will buy one. I imagine the gt micro, but throwing twice as far, and a smaller head. That'd be so sweet. Although the Gt micro is hard to beat IMO.
All I need is a small single cell sub 1000lm light for most of my needs. Before I work out what I need an LEP for I wanna know why I need my 45 other LED lights. 
Haha the Q8 array is crazy.
Just to be clear I had the bracket given to me. If I wasnt saving for a house I would buy another 12 for a 4x4. In theory that would be 8000 lumens and 9.6km throw.
bat signal, warn nearby airplanes jk. kamehame night photos.
Second this.
I am not sure why almost all of the manufacturers don’t make zoomable LEP flashlight, except for Maxtoch.
But on the other hand the light emitting angle of LEP module could be very small compared to LED’s, hence I am not sure if LEP would work well in a reflector setup.
And because of the same reason, even with zoomable feature the maximum flood it can produce may not be very large either, but at least usable.
Anyway, maybe the manufacturers out there can include LEP in a multi-emitter setup, something like the Acebeam X70? Using one LEP + lens at the center, and surrounded by a number of LED’s for lumens and spill? Could this be how we get the best of both worlds?
Any dark hole day or night. I bought a LEP specifically because it does not have any spill. If you don’t have a use for one, then don’t buy one. I carry a light every day that has a 70° hot spot and 120° spill. I don’t complain about that light and say that it should be more like an LEP. They have different uses.
Dumb idea or not, I’m going with “I got one because I can.” Besides, as my wife would explain, it’s not as dumb of an idea of buying 10 different brands of professional quality Saxophones for a 3rd grader just starting out, but no one has ever accused me of subtility. This, from a guy without a Tungsten cube I’ll note.
Can’t wait to see 8 of these beasts wrapped up into a single array. Whooohooo ……
Call it 11 if one adds the Yamaha Wind Synthesizer.
