Super Fantastic blinding cool light. Does it have much of a recoil when you turn it on.

And someone needs a new sigline!!

Great hand made design, btw. The wooden handle is a nice touch.

I see the Cree ring :duck: - seriously though that is one nice Daylight maker. Looks like you put a lot of thought and work into it and got a great finished product. Very innovative custom!

As Essexman mentions in post #20, I too am curious about drive. I have a guess: direct drive. Two parallel strings of 5 LED's each.

He mentions 1.8 amps and neglecting whatever is going to the fan, that's about 900mA per string assuming they are pretty well balanced. Taking a SWAG at his junction temperature (I'm thinking about 100C), and working the numbers from the Cree 7090 datasheet, this suggests an output of a solid 1300 lumens. That number happens to be right in line with an H7 headlight bulb.

UNREAL!!!! Thanks for the specs and beamshots......time to save up some more money, I am impressed!!!!


BRO!!, WHY IS EVERY CAR WHERE YOU LIVE WHITE?
(I"m a little scared of all those white ponies)

Maybe the ALL THOSE CREES FADED THE PAINT!!!

Again, Very impressive design and execution!!! :rock:

BRO!!, WHY IS EVERY CAR WHERE YOU LIVE WHITE?

That is freaking hysterical..... they are all white!!! :laughing:



Dude, that light is just freakin' AWESOME!!!

Nice job. That has to be one of the coolest lights I've seen in a very long time around here. Got my nod for one of the top lights of 2007 so far.

Great job.

The cromatic spectrum of all 10 Crees combined has all the pigment in the car coating react to the photons exiting the XR-E emitters, causing the protons to move quicker, discharging faster, which is why you see only white... (Did I just say all that cr*p ? :thinking: )

And yes, freaky it is !!

Oh, and a WOW on the build !!

Nice.....hope you didn't blind your dog!

Me and my dog alredy got brightness blind.

Great work!

I have one of Georges Big drivers and was going to do a 10 cree with XR27's but haven't found a suitable host.

I like your handle!

Mac

Thanks, I love yours lights too.:thumbsup:

Glockboy, congrats on creating a bada$$ light! :bow:

Thanks.

Very Smart :thumbsup:

Thank you.

OK, OK, no group buy....how much for the Prototype????!!!???

WOW! Nice work.

Still no group buy and no prototype.:nana:

I'm suprised your poor dog didn't catch fire.
Question: How are you driving the LED's ?

Led beam don't get hot.
Direct drive.

It takes a lot to impress me.


I'm impressed :devil:
Nice job, that is getting me thinking now.

Sun light wow great work now when did you say you would ship this to me!!!

I'm thinking I'll put the bird eye on the handle.

It's a Crees, Just enjoy the light.
