What is the brightest LED????

I thought the SST-50 would be but the first tourch that has it is only 500 lumins.

So is the SSC-P7 it? untill they make a quad die out of the XP-G????

The brightest single die LED is the SST-90, not the SST-50.

2250 lumens at 9A.

For a single LED torch:
The Blaster NG (SST-90) 1750 lumens:

If you are going swimming/diving with it, it might be better to contact a high end dive light maker such as Barbarin.

elektrolumens does custom work and he has always wanted to make a dive light so post in his subforum at CPFMP or contact him directly at

Water is better at removing heat than air so no additional cooling fins are needed. Waterproofing the light is the hard part.

my goal is 1200 lumin work light w/30-40 degree beam that will run for 4 to 6 hours on a portable battery.
