Look what arrived today and yes, I am holding it upside down 
Lucky Enderman found this. fast shipping too.
That looks sick 
canât wait to see what you build with that monster.
Its not going to be as fancy as your design, probably a see through design kinda like this one: as I like seeing how things work. Wont be starting it for at least a month though.
Nice! Youâre the guy that built that crazy watercooled thing
btw how does the quality of the mirror look? no warping in the parabola? does it flex at all?
Out of interest Iâve sent for details and pricing on the WLazer W30B 3-4 km White lazer.???
Itâd be ideal following channel leads when coming home in the dark to moorings.
Ledâs are fine. BUT⊠these things. Who knows hey.
No flex that I can tell, there is a small dimple in the very centre.
Will take some photos tomorrow.
Lighter ( get it) than I expected.
yep, thatâs me (Over 100,000 lumens)
reflector shots at different angles and next to the garage door because it has lots of straight lines.
the small dimple:
Weight:
Hmm it looks pretty good but only having an LED in front will really tell.
The dimple in the middle doesnât matter since that part will be blocked by the LED anyway 
So this is just a teaser beamshot of the CFT90 The beam is very out of focus though.
Here it is slightly better:
running at 36 amps, 75% of driver capacity.
Yes it is actually this bright IRL.
Unfortunately I am leaving on vacation and wonât be able to finish the light until the end of august, but it is very close to done as you can see it working in the pics.
.
Left to do:
-replace pump (had a small leak)
-adjust some tubing lengths and types
-install e-switch into body
-fix focus (reflector needs to be a couple mm farther forward, so I need slightly longer screws)
-measure lux
.
I have some progress pics that Iâll post during the summer, but it wonât be finished and there will be no more beamshots until end of august.
That looks so bright I think I see heaven through the beam! :sunglasses:
You better skip vacation and do some work on the light. j/k Even out of focus it appears like a laser in the sky. I am looking forward to seeing the new LED in action.
Thanks yeah it is pretty insane, never had a flashlight with a beam this bright.
Iâm actually going to try to mod my old optofire (which I brought with me on vacation) to see if I can get a super bright beam too.
Since I already got the throw numbers for the optofire, and the syniosbeam has higher throw anyway, the optofire has just turned into my experimentation light
SooooâŠthe end of August has passed. 
Itâs almost done
Just need to put the reflector in today and start taking beamshots.
How isnât this your new avatare?
Haha it would look more like this if I used the syniosbeam:
Running 40A to the LED.
There was less than 5% improvement by increasing to 48A, not worth it.
The cooling system works, the outside body of the light gets very warm during use thanks to the liquid cooling loop and copper piping.
The back plate of the light keeps the driver and pump cool.
Is there anything you dare shining on?
finally!
Nice. This has the most âsolidâ (most sharply defined with high lumens) beam of all led âflashlightsâ.
Can you do beamshots again where you are further away from the light?
