HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
ok, so it's not what you expected, but i know you're not gonna care. right now you're thinking about what diameter of PVC you'll need to accomodate all of your lights. running 15 CR123's is kinda expensive though.

i'll build my own eventually but still need to learn some more before i try and tackle such a job....i did this to help curb my appetite.

the participants are:
> Olight M20 (w/ the R2 emitter)
> Olight M30
> Hellfighter X-19
> Hellfighter X-21
> Tiablo A9

Its not as bright as my Stanley HID but does outshine my Black & Decker V-2 by a little. i did place an order w/ DX for some Christmas gifts....and some things for myself...i should be able to more than double the output when that stuff arrives (on paper at least). There is one benefit to this ridiculous contraption...it provides a simple means for transporting many lights. I used wing nuts so that I could take whatever light off I needed w/out tools. I doubt I'm the first to do this but I figured it was a project worth presenting to everyone else.

You have way too much time on your hands!!!

Welcome to the club!!!!:wave::wave::wave:

BTW-I'm guessing that light produces one heck of a 'doughnut'.Try sticking your Stanley HID in the middle.LOL

LOL... I think it'll be cool if the lights are on the INSIDE. Like becoming one ginormous decepticon searchlight. :laughing:

that was the original plan but the hardware i had on hand kinda restricted that move. believe me, this ridiculous light is constantly under revision. i still have a G2, Inova XO and Fenix LD20 to adapt. the Fenix fits inside the handle quite nicely, the G2 is waiting on a couple different possible drop-ins but i'm still not sure what to do w/ the XO. i'm still not even sure of how easily i can take it apart.

a HID smack in the middle would be great as mentioned above. And a dedicated handle with a single switch to turn on everything would be nice too.

:D

I thought you inserted your arm in the middle :D

lol... add a P60-Xenon and you can add high CRI to your capabilities.

I suppose we shall see a copy of that in DX soon! :crackup:
