modamag's ultimate flashlight

[JimH]

In his continuing quest to make an LED light that is brighter than a hot wire, modamag has pulled out all the stops. Here are some pictures of his latest creation. It uses 2000 100W LED's

. Modamag, you win. The space shuttle just reported being blinded by the light from your flashlight

.

That actually looks like an old Bond/Olin/Winchester light. Look at the switch.

I heard Surefire is turning it into the Beast III. And it runs on only 100,000 CR123 cells. But that's 20 minutes of regulated brightness!

Oh yeah!!!

 

[Crenshaw]

geeee and we though 6 in an M6 was much..i hope it has a low mode for conserving battery, and so you dont blow away your night vision on midnight toilet trips.....

Save it ... It's lowest low is still 1000 lumens ... You'll probably blind yourself permanantly ...

Why does everyone want a lower Low?

I believe that its trying to take off on its own power to join the ISS and the next shuttle mission. I guess we have just found the next replacement shuttle.

ET just phoned - thanks to modamag, we have succeeded in making an encounter of the 4th kind .

 

[Monocrom]

Oh crap! It actually lights up! :nana:

 

[Burgess]

But does it have an S-O-S mode ?

You won't need an S.O.S. mode - only the people you shine it at will need a distress signal

Inquiring minds want to know: what is the photon thrust in Newtons on that thing?
