Ever considered the Cermax Lamps?

Hello everyone,
I was while doing research on xenon short arc lamps, Came across the Cermax brand and they look like they could be a great source of light and much safer then traditional style short arcs. With the parabolic lens that can be used with them the throw should be massive? Check them out below

Im guessing noone has ever looked at these? As small and powerful as they are think of what you could put one of these little things in! And they stay WAY cooler then normal short arcs.

I love the logo on top of the first link: "The Right Light At A Light Price" Ummm...I think they need to rethink that slogan.

I'm sure glad they have a light

price! I would hate to see retail!

I made a 300W cermax flashlight. You can get them new for as low as $40 on ebay new, but I got by ballast, igniter, and bulb from a endoscopic light source. It is powered off of 1 1500W inverter (needs to be 1.5kw to handle the starting power surge caused by the ballast). The battery it uses is one 12v 76ah lead acid battery, but I soon plan to upgrade it to lithium polymer soon. The entire contraption weighs about 60lbs. I don't know how much lumens the output is but it is reduced by 15% when I put the collimation lens on it (makes beam about 3 degrees) , but in flood mode it outputs its full light capability. I have about 2 hours on a full charge, lights up the clouds and fields easily. The entire project took me about 9 months because I have school and other hindrances. For cooling I have 2 NMB high power cooling fans with them connected output of the first fan to the input of the other fan in order to speed up the air and give it a higher pressure in order to push through the cooling fins connected to the bulb. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
