Amazing piece of work :thumbsup:.

You could attach it to a chest harness for running, with multi levels for woods, roads and airport runways.

WOW, really impressive!

Looking forward to those beamshots!

Pure flood mode probably throws more then the average light.

You can try active cooling. It should cut down the weight but then you'll have to power the fans.

I think this might blow the databank out of the water...not sure
thats a tremendous about of designing that went into it, not to mention capital...holy cow, 20 MCEs and a dedicated driver for each oneoo:

I….Can……..Not…….Comprehend…what this would look like running……. this makes me sad inside:mecry:.

I love it when people create these types of Frankenlights! That is quite a chunk of change tied up in one light.

I'm sure it wasn't but it was worth it.:thumbsup:

I might have a name...

:wow:
now thats a cheap/efficient way of reflow soldering! :thumbsup:
Yep, German ingenuity is still second to none after so many years

It's beautiful. Nothing succeeds like excess.

You just inspired a motivator

Hmmm... I think it could be a close contest for total output, but the Data Bank 70 should easily beat this for throw.

I don't know if the data bank can out throw a 110mm aspheric. It's a tough call really.
I'd love to see the shootout.

Regarding a name for my lamp I thought of "Mr. Beambastic" although I originally planned to use this name for large HID lamp I want to build sowmewhen in the next time. But we will buid a house this year and so I think it will take some time until I can begin this project. So "Mr. Beambastic" shall decorate my LED lamp and for the future HID (>500W certainly...) I must think of an other name.

Holzleim you are absolutely crazy! But your my kind of crazy. Great job and I would like to second the idea put forth earlier that the use of heatpipes will bring the weight way down if you employ them correctly.:thumbsup:

this has to be THE flashlight of 2009
i cant think of anything beating this

I may be wrong, but I think there's only one XR-E behind that aspheric. There are 8x MC-Es with optics, but the other 12x MC-Es will be pure flood. It should make for a good mix of flood and throw, but probably mostly flood.

By contrast, each of the LEDs in the Data Bank has its own small aspheric. It's a great thrower, as you can see in the pic in post #1 of the thread I linked above.

Re: Handheld 500W LED Power .... finally finished

It should be no question that the Databank easily outthrows my light by a multiple.
Assume my 110mm aspheric makes 200000 lux/1m and the 8 MC-E with optics will do about 10000 each than I get about 280000 lux/1m in total.

Each XR-E with its 30mm aspheric in the Databank should do at least 30000 lux/1m resulting in a total of 2,1M lux/1m.

Like I wrote before: I tried to build a versatile multi-talent light, not a pure fun light.

The Databank is in its own class......

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING
can't wait for beamshots
