Crisis Intelligence Alpha-1 50W LED searchlight made in Japan

I saw this last week posted on facebook. very cool looking light. Looks like a hellfighter in a tube with a P90 style grip attached to the bottom haha.

That's pretty sweet looking. Hellfighter has more lumens otf?

My bad, thought this was a HID.

 

[BVH]

Ahhhhhhh shucks! It's only an LED.

Trying painfully hard to be tacticool with the rails, pseudo stock, and the pintle mount. Perhaps I should be thankful that there was no sound in the video.

Ahhhhhhh shucks! It's only an LED.

They probably won't include a Moonlight mode, but instant on/off and no bulb/ballast can be a selling point to the few people who have had those fail them.

It looks way tacticool, but then it is supposed to shed over 50W of heat. It reminds me of the Maxabeam look of spotlight, really.

Edit: I haven't watched the video, but I wonder if they will put one of those puke-inducing random strobes to try and tick off "Crowd Control" applications on the checklist?

Why not use a Fire Fox IV? It weighs a fraction of the Alpha-1, throws as far (if not further) and you can carry it in your military cargo pants'pocket.

So bright, I gotta wear shades...

Wow, that is some hilarious propaganda!

 

[BVH]

Kinda reminds me of this...



I can't remember which member added the smoke effect so I can't give proper credit.

 

[get-lit]

Ya I added that smoke

 

[Mr. Tone]

That smoke is great. I remember when WadeF made a hilarious photoshop pic of cops using this huge XTAR light as a battering ram. That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen on this forum. I will have to see if it is still around here.

EDIT: Here is the pic. The thread link is below.





I found the thread and the pic is still there! Here is the post, you guys have to check this out. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?239763-Xtar-D30-Howitzer-3XMC-E-Beast!!-1680-lumens&p=3068676&viewfull=1#post3068676

 

[get-lit]

Now that is funny!

 

[JulianP]

Ok, is anyone going to add a Phaser sound to the picture? I know a number of 7 year old boys who would love this military flashlight, but more so with sound effects.

They claim 2.4 million candela, didn't look that bright in the video. 7000k color temperature, yuk!
Rating a LED light in watts instead of lumens doesn't make sense.

 

[Rat]

Shame it's only a LED. The only part of the video that makes the beam look half promising was @ 3:59. I read colour temp was 5700K

Looks like it could make a good host for some modding work. So who's going to buy one and throw a short arc in it ? :naughty:

 

[BVH]

No me - not when a NightSword is on the horizon.

 

[sven_m]

quite some specs!
They mention a diameter of 136mm. The lens would have about 110mm judging by one of the photos.
2.7 Mcd would require about 300cd/mm² for the LED.
Let's say 50W is input Then the SBT-90 comes to mind. It runs at 9V*3.5A=~30W (specwise) but it has only ~60cd/mm² then.
This in turn would mean 500 kcd. Hm, not even 6-digit...
