Deep Sea Death Ray

This is a very cool build ma_sha1. Why did you decide to go with a short arc for the light source?

This is a very cool build ma_sha1. Why did you decide to go with a short arc for the light source?

Thanks! For 3 reasons:

1. The lens is very small, not much bigger than mag head, HID with 4mm arc won't give much throw, it'll be like car head light, more floody.
2. The space is very limited, to combine with a lens, light source with elliptical reflector is needed, the P-VIP set-up is very small & fit in perfectly.
I also have a HID bulb with elliptical reflector, but for this set-up, it protrudes out the back of the helmet quite a bit, not as Stealth. I really wanted to contain everything in there & have a useful beam.
3. The cool factor, I wanted to have something in my office representing the cutting edge of the hobby.

I'll probably list this light FS to pay for some xmas gifts...
