Triple XHP 70 using the LUM 5-90 reflectors and a huge head - 05/06/15 Finished- with beam shots.

Wow!! This is gonna be one nasty flash!!

Looking forward to see the result!

Will this be 10.000 ish lumens?

just shocked to such great work on the reflector! wow.. man, thats pretty crazy

Try 13 - 15 thousand-ish! With the FET driver, and 12X 26650 cells, it may even be higher!

:bigsmile:

GREAT, just Great i love how you cut down those reflectors nice thinking

Where is the LIKE Button ? i will be following this thread tell this light shines the skies do you think i will see the beam from Egypt ? :bigsmile:

Please from where i can buy this LUM 5-90 reflectors

Great project, looking forward to the build.

And congratulations on the sander. I have a small disk sander (without the belt part) and I use it very very often, it is one of the best tools for modding (one example: sanding down a 20mm ledboard down to 16mm takes 5 minutes and it looks impeccable :-) )

Mad skills and imagination in action here. I have no concept of how careful you had to be to not bend or otherwise destroy those thin reflectors. So fricken impressed.

I thought quite a lot about that question. I could say that I wanted to duplicate the SRK and BTU style of 3 up, so that I could have lots of spill and a more floody beam. That sounds good, but the truth is that I only build lights for my entertainment and the way I am entertained is by testing myself. If I simply set 3 reflectors in a head, then I haven’t done anything to test myself. This kind of crazy stuff is really all about seeing if I can and forcing me to think of how I can. Otherwise, for me, myself and I, there’s no reason to build something like this.

Yep, I have been wanting one of these sanders for a long time. It makes life easier and the older I get, the more I want to make what’s left, easier.

Thanks David.

They are very thin and it was very hard. I found out right away that I needed more screws to hold the reflector in place and even then it was hard to cut. I couldn’t put much force on the saw. I just had to cut easily, with very little pressure and still they flexed a little. Nice thing about it was that you could flex them back again fairly easily.

Looks like and awesome project.

What model of sander is that, I know it is Harbor freight but what model #?
Been wanting one of them.
Thanks,
Keith

http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-x-36-inch-belt-6-inch-disc-sander-97181.html I used a 20% off coupon. It’s not as nice as the Grizzly sander I used to have, but it’s ok for small projects and part time use.

More photos in the OP. The aluminum order came in today.

This is really something else! Can’t wait to see the outcome. …

Sweet… can’t wait for the beamshots :heart_eyes:
btw… where can I get that 20% coupon for the sander?

Google search for Harbor Freight coupon or Harbor Freight 20% coupon. Then print it out and take it with you. Good for one item. You can use it online too. Good till the end of April I believe.

The glued reflectors look fantastic, if there are any flaws in the boundaries it’s very hard to make them out in the photo. Looks spot on to me! Great work!
