So management at work have noticed my custom flashlights and asked if I could build something for work use. It needs to be tightly focused with little to no spill, and cut through heavy steam. Size, cost and run time don't really matter within a reasonable window (>7 or 8 min, <$1000, 6D or smaller), They have a 3000lm HID, and they want it to be as bright as that.
I was thinking an sst-90 with an aspherical lens in a M@g host, 6D would be fine if necessary. I believe a focused 9A sst-90 would have a brighter spot than the H.I.D. Any other suggestions on emitters? I'd like something with as low a colour temperature as possible to cut through the steam. Also open to driver suggestions, single mode is fine, tripple is probably better.
Cheers,
Durwood
