New Peak 5 Million candlepower spotlight

I got this Peak 5 million candlepower rechargeable spotlight as a gift at my high school senior prom. ( Sorry about the small pics)
Enjoy





I even got some beamshots for those of you that are like me and love beamshot pics. ;D I can see the reflection of a stop sign that is 1 mile away from me.

That's pretty incredible, 1 mile away? I'm new to flashlights (high end) is this a fairly common capability?

Yes, if you have a really bright light (led or incandescent) and a parabolic, smooth, reflector.(please add more info to this if needed)
This spotlight is just a baby when you compare it to the 20 million candlepower lights...

Nice that they give you a little extra LED boost there right above the reflector - just in case you need 5,000,001 candlepower.

Yeah, It's nice if I want to just have enough light to see something up close, then I don't have to blind myself with the incandescent light...

Why do you people keep saying incandescent? Its HALOGEN for crying out loud.

Halogen bulbs ARE incandescent bulbs.

No, its not a fairly common capability.. But stop signs are known to be very retro reflective, so can be seen more easily.
Even when it has a decent reflector quality, the actual output can not be much more than 350,000 cp, so a decent throw up to 750 meters can be expected.
The max luminance (surface brightness) of the Halogen bulb stands in the way of high throw..

So does that mean I'm lucky that my light can make things reflect from 1 mile away?? If the stop sign is reflecting, it's obviously throwing some amount of light that far. It also makes coyote's and coons eye's reflect from nearly 1 mile away too...

Stop sign's, coyote's and coons eye's,,, all retro reflectors: The small amount of light that reaches 1 mile, is reflected exactly towards you..
But you can always mod the monster to HID, then you'll reach the one mile for sure..

+1 on modding to HID

If you think what you have is bright then you haven't really seen anything yet

That would be really epic to mod it, but I have no idea where to start... I'm up for suggestions on this, hopefully it doesn't get too pricey to do.

I don't think that it is the brightest light or anything, but it's definitely bright.

I have seen mega bright things like mrartillery's super Incan mag found here http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?278201-17-000-lumens-of-incan-domination!-Mag-6D-64656-64657-*Beamshots-added* I know there are brighter, more epic things out there. The main idea of this thread was just to show a cool gift i got...

15 million cp Thor, The big brother of the 5milliom cp spotlight, tops out at true 400,000 cps.

See this thread for a list of bright spotlights that the true beam candle powers have been measured.

Like others have pointed out, the 5million cp spot light would be a good modding host.

I'm interested in modding this, I just need advice and help because I have no experience at all with HID modding...
I guess I also have a Vectorlite spotlight too, looks like this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AMGYRQ/?tag=cpf0b6-20 It could maybe be modded too.

I would love to have a bright-as-hell light, my peak spotlight also looks cool, so it might as well be super bright too.
Just throw suggestions at me, This sounds fun!

Hey! So I know this an old thread, but since writing this thread, I have installed/had experience with HIDs in my truck for headlights (In projector lenses of course!) and came up with this idea... What if I used a similar 12V HID kit that you'd use in a car/truck headlight with the ballast and all, and installed a 12V battery like this one http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?315608-Custom-made-Mag-bezel-2-)&highlight= to power the HID in this spotlight?

Please let me know what you think!

Technically its an Incandescent Tungsten filament in a glass capsule filled with a Halogen fill gas.

UPDATE: I bought a 6000K 55W HID kit off Amazon, I still haven't bought the 12V battery since I'm looking for one that will fit in the light, but that's next on the parts list.
