18 x XM-L Flashlight is in the town!! Someone has just up the game!!

Only if you swap in green LEDs. My head hurts just thinking about it.

i suspect they just want to use up their xm-l chips
there are not enough batteries to run this thing to its full potential (assuming that won’t go poof when you hit the switch)

Now mod this to run 4 - 5 amps to each emitter on a massive copper plate hybrid with CPU liquid cooling with a remote battery pack, maybe a 1000 CCA (Cold Cranking Amp) Deep Cycle RV battery mounted in a back pack. Might make a good flooder. J)

now your talking, but getting maximum possible output would cost a lot of money, xm-l2 on sinkpad/noctigon, i wish companies would start making high Ah NiMH, but any battery that can put out the amps would get well over 20,000 lumens with CPU liquid cooling!

You could buy a Tesla and remove the fuse from the cigarette lighter : :bigsmile:

I’m amazed that it doesn’t have a bottle opener on it.

…and what exactly would you want to “illuminate” with that kind of flood power? Neighbour’s Backyard? and one more thing…what is wrong with ducttaping 18 convoys S2 “in paralell”… J) at least it will be slightly cheaper…

In the specifications:

Lumens (max) 12000 lm
Power consumption: 10W

I want some of those 1200lm/W leds…

If each LED is being pushed with only 0.75A, gives about 300 lumens, it can easily produce >5000 lumens at around 40W (someone please check my math)!

what do we want to illuminate today?

i am willing to wait for next generation emitters that will have more lm/w and more impressive outputs per chip but there are never too many lumens

More Lumens the better ! i do alot of night Geocaching, backcountry camping, canoeing, boating, biking, etc. and have a high diet of lumens per day. :bigsmile:

Saft has some 70+ amp NiMH D cells…

can you provide some links?

Nope, got a data sheet from a local battery shop a while back. Can’t find it. I think the Imidion D cells do 40-50 amps…

Now at ebay

I wonder if anyone is going to get this light and make a review of it?

These multi-emitter lights are getting out of hand! When will to many be too much? One of us needs to go a head and build a 100 emitter light. :bigsmile: I’m happy with my 12 emitter lights.

It has the potential. I’m up to 6980 lumens with my X60vn at the 2:00 minute point while running on 20R’s. Tom basically has that matched with his his 7 led TRJ18. So I’m sure this 18 LED monstrosity has the chance to do even more if somebody could find the right driver for it.

The only driver I can think of is the hyperboost. That’s the driver I have in my 12*XM-L2 Courui and my Trustfire AK-90. Its running at about 123 watts right now and its been holding up very well considering the designer does not recommend running above 100 watts.

Your X60 is dedomed too isn't it? I'd love to see what a light like this can do, but I don't want to throw another 100-200 dollars into it.

ok you guys, found the ultimate deal on this light!
whos gonna do the review??
