    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    No clue I know nothing about lenses and focusing light. I would like to be able to direct the light a bit more and throw the light further beyond that this is new territory for me. I ordered a 150mm lens and am currently printing a lens holder for the flash light that should allow me to move the...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    That is pretty cool but I think these lights would melt any plastic lens I put in front of them. I think I am going to order a basic fresnel lens and see what I can come up with.

    yup your right and a 6” lease is not super cheap so I would like to understand if it would even work before I bought one.

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Not sure you guys would want one if you knew how much I put into it. Also if I was going to ever make these I would consider finding better drivers than what I am using. I have also thought about version 2 of this and think it will use multiple Cree Xhp70.2 to make it a bit smaller but I would...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Thanks everyone it has been a really fun build with a mix of emotions in there but in the end I am happy with how it turned out. I made it so you could hold it while it’s in use, with that said it is not lite. I have not weighed it but if I had to guess I would say it’s at least 10lbs. I am...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Ok did some backyard test tonight, first two pictures are with a Fenix E25 and I locked the AE/AF on my iPhone to take these pictures. I need to get it out in a bigger area to do some real tests but for now this is what I have. The last 4 pictures are turning the bulbs on one at a time at full...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Finished it up the other night and ran some prelim tests. It lives and its a beast, I did not get any pictures of it working but I will try to do that tonight with some other flashlight for comparison. Everything seems to work pretty well except I need to figure out a better wiay to fill it...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    I got all the electronics done and tested the other night and the front half of the flashlight is assembled. I attached a picture testing out all the on off switches and the voltage control for each bulb below. The gold switch in the center is the master switch it controls the main power to...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Hello All, sorry for the long pause but I ran into a few issues removing the mosfets and adding them to the cooling block. I wrecked a few boards and decided to go a slightly different route. I am happy to say I got all the wiring done last night and tested it out UN-assembled and I had full...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Started on the Boards the other night, basically I am moving the variable control to be remote and limiting its range, removing heatsings and FETs to be attached to water block. I tested all the circuitry out on one LED and everything works great. I set the upper limit for the LED to Draw 3.5A...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Yes it gets cold here in MN so that will help. You are absolutely correct that this is essentially a CPU cooling set up and I agree that it my not be sufficient for keeping up with this light but I figured I could run it for a few min at a time without issue. The only heat problems I should...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    Thanks Dan, I am getting a little bit further each night. I wanted to add some sort of details to the light so it was not all one solid color. Even though my naming skills are not that creative I had my mom cut out some vinyl decals on her cricket and I think they turned out pretty cool.

    I Had a little time to start putting the Electronics in as well as getting the pump mounted so here is a few more pics for those who are interested.

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    I do not want to spend a lot of money on it, I want to make sure the flashlight works well first but I thought it would be cool to be able to get this down to a 30 degree beam. right now I have the 60 degree lenses on the 100watt LED's so we will see what that looks like but I would be curious...

    Luminator 40,000 Lumen .4kW 3D Printed Flashlight Liquid Cooled

    One more question for everyone I am planning to put on a circular piece of 1/8” plexiglass on the front to protect the LED’s. It would be cool to get a lease of sorts for the end but it’s 158mm in Diameter. Anyone have any thoughts on where I could get a lens around that size or make one?
