$110,000 LED lights

[tadbik]

The new 2008 Audi R8 now has LED headlights and as a bonus it does 190mph. The LED's are recessed into the hood and are much smaller than standard headlights.

Now there's one for every flashaholics collection!

Wow~ Not only bright but also fast.

I get about $65 to live for a month in univeristy, and every month I may have about $12 left. So I need about 800 years to get this flashlight

 

[vizlor]

I would that light, but the extra functions seem pretty gimmicky.

The R8 would be a great flashlight and the rechargable batteries and charger are built into the light. The new hybrid charger built into the R8 flashlight is a novel idea, you can run a normal 12V charger or just start the engine to keep the light running a long, long time. Think of the money you will save on batteries.

The downsides are costs not normally associated with flashlights; fuel, insurance, registration, plates and speeding tickets checking "beam shots".

now I have to get another light.

whats the bin number, is it PWM, does it have a good white tint, are the threads loose, will it accept li-ions, are the beams "ringy"...............:laughing:
Will my Dodge Ram body fit the Audi Front End???

Come on whens Audi gonna respond. I need to know these things.

Anyone wanna go in on a group buy:naughty:

 

[LowTEC]

I will show you the new beamshots on a white wall in couple weeks,

ahhh... .maybe months.......maybe years.........


but I can ensure you the output is fully regulated

 

[tadbik]

Sorry, took me a while. I was on waiting list for pre-order but now I can post a beam shot. :naughty:

No, those are not Cree's but Luxeon LEDs. Did read it in a Lumileds newsletter.

I wonder if anyone who owns one of those cars would be willing to risk doing an emitter swap to increase the brightness

 

[flash]

How about a group passaround? I'd like to be the first on on the list.:lolsign:

 

[BMRSEB]

[TenPin]

Anyone know if its a twisty or clickie?

 

[2xTrinity]

Anyone know if its a twisty or clickie?

From what I understand it's a two-level twisty with "low" and "high" settings

 

[PhotonWrangler]

If it gets up to light speed, will I still see anything reflected by the headlights?
:thinking:

Read the auction again, it's for the "experience" of putting the R8 through it's paces at Las Vegas Motor Speedway...

It's not for the actual car, otherwise I'd outbid the current 8k bid!
