Okay, I assume the THOR is by and far the lowest cost out of all those lights. What would be the next one up, as far as price?

The Havis-Shields cost just under $200. Probably the second cheapest.

I've been on vacation for the past 4 plus weeks!! Little or no time for internet access.
The Shoot Out 2 is done I see and man does it look great. Hats off for the hard work and time put into this.
I guess for my "Sleeper" being conceived and built about a year or more ago, it really did not fair that bad concidering the company.
My next version of this will be hard to beat....

Thanks Ginseng, coming from you, I really appreciate it!
After building it way back then I did not know how it stacked up to the field of super lights. Shoot, back then, I really did not know there was even a following of such super lights. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey Crosman,
Welcome back from vacation /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif
Even though the Ken5 may throw further, your Sleeper definitly puts out more light into the flood arena. From non-zoomed shots, I think it looks like yours is brighter.
Don't let anyone forget that the Sleeper is a year old, and that it is made to the toughest standards being made from very strong aluminum where as the Ken5 seems to be made out of a lightforce 240. (I don't think they are as durable). I would be willing bet a lot that most CPFers today would definitly choose a Sleeper for their collection over a Ken5. But, don't forget that the Ken5 is still a prototype. Also, the Ken5 is a flashlight that brings new meaning to the word "throw" for incans.
O ya, WE ALL AWAIT THE MIGHTY SLEEPER 2 !!!! (or whatever the new name is) (I believe you said before that you were planing on using a 1000watt bulb next time- is this still accurate?)

The Ken-Rad PSL 35 uses up 15 CR123's in 1 hour. Very Hungry for lithium dinner.

I agree with Bakeronfire90.
I don't think your current version was beat in total light output.
In the close up photo the Sleeper clearly lit up the rocks and bushes in the background better then the Ken 5. In the wide angle shot the only thing brighter in the Ken 5 pic was the tree and its immediate foreground. Yes the Ken 5 has a tighter brighter spot. The Sleeper light's better closer, wider, and further in these pics because the Ken 5's Spot is taken up by the tree and its foreground. The Ken 5 is a nice light. Sleeper killer, not by a long shot. That is sort of like saying a 3 story building that is 50 feet wide by 50 feet wide is better then a 2 story building that is 80 feet wide by 80 feet wide because it is taller. The way I see the pics. it is a wash. For pure throw The Ken 5 is better. For great throw in an awesome flood the Sleeper is still top dog or light.

Eh, it still annoys me that aircraft landing lights have such little throw. You'd expect them to have great throw, but I guess it's more about just lighting up the runway rather than seeing the end of it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Cheese, don't forget about the Sylvania 5557 (wink wink ). That supposedly has much greater throw.

Any idea if we can get the Maxabeam added?

Easy to check out. Take one of each and throw them repeatly on the concrete hard enough to have them bounce higher than your head. Then fire a few rounds of bird shot at them.
Finally take the clear plastic protector and pound it with a hammer until you manage to dent it. video

OK, now do that to the maxabeam, vector, kam kung etc.
Wow, I need ONE (ok, want one).
