…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…
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:
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.
The Chinese should go back to E.E. classes and design some new drivers. Let’s not mess around and start at a measly 10 amps, and go from there. I want to see 18 gauge wire glow like an incandescent.
They’re Chinese lumens, so half of 12 is 6 = 6,000! It’d beat the X60, but with next-mode memory and the 18-inches of girth, you’d have to be at least 1/2 insane to invest in it.
