Im guessin considerably under a year, right?
In fact its over a year! The design was already taking shape more than a year ago, but the hard part is finding a reflector accurate enough for this project.
The manufacturing of the little beast took about two months.
The reflector was the most difficult to make, its made out of very hard ceramic material. The ballast and lamp I grabbed out of a UK Light Canon 100. The 18650 cells from Ebay.
The best I can come up with to compare it to is a pistol-grip halogen torch I modified a few years ago: a 6volt 30watt projection bulb is overdriven at 7.2 volts. This torch puts out 225,000 beam CP (calibrated measurement.)
I'll make some beamshots if I can find the time today.
Laterrr.
