Flashlight Enthusiast
The hotel that I work for had a guest check in with a new Lexus LS600hL which gave me the opportunity to go down to the garage and play around with a $100K led flashlight that just happens to be a car!!!!
Well first impression is just amazing, with 3 leds behind 3 aspherical lenses per side, blasting out a rediculas amount of lumens, just stunning! And it makes the front of the car look mean, with six white eyes staring down the road!
Unfortunatly, I dont know what kind of leds are being used for the main beams, just cant see through those lenses(but I was tempted to see if I could crack one open to take a look), but if I were to guess, I would say Ostars. Very white tint, just a bit the cool side, with plenty of throw from the lenses. Just below the bank of three, there are some side marker/illuminators, a pair to be exact, that you can just see pointing straight down, and you can actually see those, and they appear to be either Seoul or Luxeon emitters(just could not get a clear shot of them with the camera), providing a flood of light to the corners of the front end.
OK, I took a few shots with my cell phone so here you go.
Not the best shots but better than nothing.
In the last shot, the beam shot, the collumn to the right is approx. 40 feet away and the one behind is approx. 55 feet away. No HID warm up time, flick the switch and instant white light, ahh the beauty of leds!!!
I wanted to get the car pointed against a wall to get a better beam shot but I did not have a chance. The hotel should be getting one of their own for house car duties before the end of the year so when it comes in, I will get some proper beam shots on the road and up against a wall. All this amazing technology in this car, 5.0L V8 coupled with hybrid technology, 8 speed auto tranny, auto park feature, an alarm to alert you if you begin to dose behind the wheel, and all I can see are the headlights!!!
