Two XMLs in series driven off a custom boost driver. Driven at 3.00 amps.

Nifty, but you can't get away with just one photo! We want to see photos of the build, and I'd certainly like to see the electronics (schematic and board). :)

They claim to be 12 degrees I think, I'm guessing that is half angle though. I forgot it at my house :(

Up, for more pictures and info! Nice looking little package, what does your mount look like?

Its a magnetic mount. I'm really proud of it. I feel it is very convenient. I use it for almost anything I want to mount on my bike now.

I'm planning on 3d printing a new one that will be much prettier.

Its at home unfortunately and I'm 800 miles away at college :(

I'm building a new one hopefully soon, once I get access to the Hass VM2 :)

Can we have any details regarding the boost driver you used? Nice looking bike light. Powering it using those lipo packs by any chance ;)

Hahaha. Nope, those are for my quads and planes. The boost driver uses two LM3410s in parralel. Thats not what is in it now though. I was having stability problems. Its just some amc7135 drivers now.

Oh I'm busy experimenting with parallel lm3410 circuits as well. I'm just rehashing some benboost drivers (based on the same IC) as apparently they parallel without any issues.
