[skyfire]

What I don't get is how they get 100,000 lumens from 19 LED's? That's about 5,300 lumens per LED. I didn't realize there was anything capable of putting out more lumens than the SST90 and even over driven at 14 amps it's not quite 1/2 of 5,300...

 

[Ekinorak]

Anyone know what emitters they used?

Maby its somthing equal to this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/prime-100w-8000lm-led-emitter-metal-plate-pure-white-42806 ?

They have huge 100 watt street lamp LEDs that make tons of lumens. "but poor lumens per watt compared to normal LEDs"

Just type in CAN light there should be some info on it.

Now I know why there are overpriced....

Why call this monster a flashlight??? You could use some industrial lights and have the same result. Definition of flashlight (to me) is a portable light that you can carry with you without using a truck... I supose that the military search lights are stronger but they aren't flashlights and as this one need a truck to carry them.

I'm not interested unless they offer a version with a trit so that you can find it at night if you should lose power..

I don't know how I have missed this thread. At first I tought it was just started.
I agree with some of the opinions here: making a light machine in a shape of a flashlight doesn't mean it's a flashlight. Could anyone hold it or carry it? If not, it can't be defined as a flashlight, in my opinion.

 

[fnj]

Doesn't it have any anti-theft provision so someone doesn't mug you and steal it when you are out walking the dog?

 

[nullity]

Whatever it is, I applaud the effort.

 

[guiri]

That's good thinking fnj, it's prolly expensive.
All compact lights with good output are..

 

[greenhornet-1]

That's one monster flashlite!!!

 

[That guy]

Uber tactical. Throw on a pocket clip and edc the thing. Police should carry for a blind em and beat em stick, one whack shall straighten out most criminals.

 

[guiri]

Dude, one whack should put them back to the stone age...less crime then by the way

 

[Johnbeck180]

Shove that in your pocket for an EDC.... Ouch!

 

[TEEJ]

LOL

The point of these Guinness Records is NEVER practicality.

Look at the OTHER records, the world's largest pancake, the world's largest cookie, etc. NO ONE would ever buy one of these things as a product, its just for show, a publicity event/promotional opportunity.

Its like looking at the worlds largest cookie, and saying if it won't fit into your glass of milk its not really a cookie.

OF COURSE its not really a cookie, its a giant thing made to look like an enormous cookie.

All the records for this sort of thing are like that, its SUPPOSED to be a scaled up version of a "real one".


So, of course, until they make it able to be held and aimed/operated with one hand, have a 2 lumen low setting, maintain the high setting's power, provide a neutral tint and a pocket clip, I'm not interested in it, OR that 1 acre cookie.

Instead of wasting time and money on this kind of pointless stuff, Ledlenser could put some more effort in updating their lights. Other then the X14 and X7R, they haven't done anything else.

At least put an XPG or XML into their lights.

 

[That guy]

what about the super sized swiss army tool. kind of a stupid idea as well but hey they still put out good practical tools that are good quality and pocket friendly.
