I have 3 PCB mounted rebel's (180 lumens at 700ma), a 1000ma buckpuck, 12 NiMH AA's, a fat heatsink, a variety of lenses (one 4' and two 6') and fairly decent soldering skills. I want to turn all this into a throw monster, capable of spotting something at about 300-400 feet, or as far as possible if these distances aren't possible. My initial thoughts were to just whack the lenses on, try and get them orientated correctly, glue it all down and hope some of the 750 lumens reach the target. I realise this is probably not a very good idea, but the PCB rebels mean I normally have to attack the lenses, as the solder contacts are covered by the lens otherwise. This limits my choice slightly; any idea's? (I'm uk based, so not all idea's will necessarily work...)
edit: Forgot to mention, current lenses are TIR jobbies. Would love to know if it's possible to get a single lens that will give a narrow beam from 3 rebels.
