That's the one I got, and rdrfronty/manxbuggy1. Works excellent!
Wow!! This build is Awesome!!! This is what I'd like to do to a J18, but I was concerned about the cost of 7 emitters - you got 12! I was thinking I could hit 6,000 lumens with XM-L2 U2's. Actually IOS has great prices in qty for the U2 1A or U2 1C's already mounted on Noctigons. I haven't seen Richie086 around much lately, but I believe he has a few custom high end lumen lights - betta he would appreciate this build.
Ken, You don’t live far from Montgomery at all. If you are ever up in our area on a Friday or Saturday and are curious about the output of these beasts just stop buy and we will put them on the light box and test the lumens. We also have a 15meter spot marked out in the house where we can test the throw. Besides I would love to see these bad boys in person. Awesome lights!
i absolutely love this build. i love both flooders and high lumen lights most, and you got both in one package!
can i ask how much it cost you total? and what does trimming the white spacer do?
yes , i wonder where richie is, he has to see this, i know he would dig this mod.
he was the guy that built my 6000 lumen 90 watt ak47 9xml.
If I were to guess I would say about 3-4mm thick without taking the light back apart. I will probably have it apart this weekend and I can measure it then to know the exact thickness.
My light came with an extension tube so I can use (4) 26650 batteries.
I gotta say that laser of yours is amazing as well! 3.4W!? A couple years back I was looking into building one with a bluray laser and 150-200mW was the thing at the time. How much does it cost to build a bad boy like the one in your pic? Where are you sourcing the laser diodes and drivers?
The laser parts I get are bought all over, mostly China if that doesnt surprise you! Lol. Its like flashlights though, they say 1000 lumen, but your really get a 400 lumen light. Lol.
The 3.4W laser I gor from a guy in Tennessee. He personally measures each diode/driver assembly and writes it on the heatsink before he ships it out.
I have a 100mw 520nm green nonpump laser, a 635nm 800mw red laser, and I have two of the 3w+ 445nm lasers. Various others also. Those are my most powerful. Bought all from different places though.
Awesome thread Hyprmtr! I have always loved the shock and awe these huge multi-emitter torches bring especially when all moded up. Thank you for showing us the pics of what something like this can become when you go all the way and not only mod/swap the driver but replace the led’s which I don’t think a lot of people have done due to the high cost on a torch like this. :bigsmile: This is a dare to dream torch for me for sure!
