I guess that will be "its" name until I name it otherwise
This project started almost a year ago when I was thinking of putting together a Polarion style LED light when fellow member Morpheus came to me with a similar idea so I went ahead with this "for fun" project.
The project originally had 7x Cree MC-E LED's but they ended up giving me a horrible donut hole even with 7 LED cluster and textured refectors. That's when this project went on the back burner..........fast forward 8 months and we now have the SST/R-50 LED's Now the light sports 6x Top Bin SSR-50's and one single Top BIN Cree MC-E and the beam is donut "Holeless"
On to the specs
-Custom Built Host (Machined from 4" 6061-T6)
-6x Top Bin SSR-50 LED's
-1x Top Bin Cree MC-E (In center)
-7x 28mm Aluminum Textured reflectors
-2x Taskled Hipflex Drivers powering 3 SST-50 LED's each at 2.8amps
-1x Taskled BFlex powering a single Cree MC-E LED at 1amp
-Borafloat Lens
-Custom 5x 26650 series Battery Holder
-Host was bead blasted then spayed with Eastwood's Diamond Clear
-Beefy at just under 7lbs
Lumens.....Hmmmmmm from what I have read the *LED'S* should output around 800 lumens at 2.5amps these are seeing slightly more than that so I guestimate around 5600 LED Lumens
Currently the light is setup with only one mode called "really friggin bright" though that may change in the future if I decide to run a few Shark boards with a Remora. The reason I went with the Taskled boards is the fact they have thermal throttling and voltage cutoff capability's. Currently the 2 banks of SST-50's with throttle down to around 50% power when the heatsink reaches 60C. Also the center led will shutdown at 13 volts indicating it's time to charge the battery's.
How it all started
The original MC-E's......wow what a blast is was drilling and hand tapping all them holes....NOT
The Final Result
