If it could be made waterproof there may be a use in caving and possibly climbing.
I know I'd LOVE to have that beam pattern and high CRI when hiking at night. Wow.:bow:
Don, any remote chance of you building a high CRI headlamp??? That beam pattern is perfect, the color rendition would help with my aging eyes issues in not being able to identify a 3D object when the LED washes it down to a 2D artifact. Minimize trips and help ID handholds in a more effective manner.
Maximum output wouldn't have to be the primary driver to a project like this. I see:
- Floody beam pattern
- High CRI
- A couple of useful light levels: a good low to preserve night vision (80+% of use) and a good high when needed (less than 20% of use)
- Some level of water resistance so it can be used in the rain and snow
- Perhaps the ability to run off of 2x123 (or maybe a 17670 or 18650) for longer runtimes
