    Default SOLD: The Moon Blaster Short Arc 16 million cps

    *** SOLD ***

    Selling one of my custom short arcs to keep going with the addiction...One in a lifetime opportunity!

    Measured at 16 million cps. not the 15 million hype spotlights. (FYI 15 million spotlight is about 400K cps, 37.5 fold marketing hype, with that hype, the moon blaster would be 600 million cp spotlight LOL)

    Family Photo of my three custom short arcs, Moon blaster is the one in the center. Runs on 110v AC. You can get an inexpensive 110v portable power supply or plug into wall outlet. Do not run over 15 min at a time! Do not drop it. Do not open the reflector up! Lamp is under high pressure even in cold. Lamp is good for 2000-3000 hours, only have a few hr run time on it.

    1 Mile target:

    This light is one of the longest throwing custom flashlight/spot light ever made, behind only Ra's maxa blaster & my 260W swan blaster short arc.

It'll blow away Maxa Beam short Arcs, 12Mcp newest Maxa Beam, Night Hunter I & II short arcs, 150W or 175W Mega Ray, 100HID mods, Twin 100W HID mods, 400w HID mods, any Surefire beast, hell fighter or whatever, any Polarions (you'll need 30 Polarions added together to get to 15 million CPs)


    Price $999 Now $699$599 Final Price drop $399
    Shipping $23 US
    or $49 International

    Thanks!

    This light is as intense as Spectrolab's 500W short Arc SX-5 starburst Helicopter Searchlight: http://www.spectrolab.com/searchligh...e/aboutus.html (A used one FS here for $16,499 http://www.justhelicopters.com/SERVI...3/Default.aspx)

    I can give it a try, it's all about perspective. I'll convince her that she deserves a $1500 handbag, a token of love which can not be measured by price. You come home with a "$1500" hand bag as gift to her which happen to came with a free gift of "15 Million CP spotlight" & live happily ever after .

    I agree, think your Barn Burner @ 0.9Million CP. With similar cost but 17x the BB cps, it's like getting 17 Barn Burners at $59 a piece . After this, you won't have the urge to keep the BB, probably sell it on CPF & get the money back, end up owning the Moon Blaster for free.

    You're not helping matters. That's EXACTLY the kind of rationalizing I'm good at!

    However, I'd sell the Maxabeam before I'd sell the Barn Burner. I've actually been trying to rationalize buying a second Barn Burner for what reason I don't know.

    Aaaaaaaanyway.....gonna go to bed and hope this thing sells tonight!

    What is the approximate weight of the light and could the 15 minute run time limitation be circumvented with external cooling or in real cold weather?

    weight about 2-3 lbs or so, very light weight. the run time 15 min is the time frame I suggest with safety margin. longest I've run it non stop in April was 20min, no ill effect . It might be able to run non stop w/o damage, especially in cold weather. I just never tested it. No way for me to know where is the limit
