Jeeez, I dunno,

But you gotta post some beamshots ASAP!!!!

Is it working?


90,000 Lumens

 

[climberkid]

is that close to the one on ebay? looks similar

 

[FelmarCorp]

Yea...this is the one that was on ebay a few days ago...

I can pick it up locally in my area.

The description says it was barely used and in excellent condition...I can take a look at it and make my decision.

So what do you guys think ?

 

[BVH]

Given 100 to 105 Lumens per Watt, I'd guess it's probably closer to 61,000 Lumens.

There was a 2KW Italian sky Cannon on Ebay for $1700 or $1900 IIRC last week or so.

.

61,000 lumens....don't bother. The new Cree ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ bin will be out soon, and you'll be getting that in a light running 1X123, AND you'll get strobe and SOS with it.

whats that tube passing over the reflector?
is this beast water cooled?

 

[karlthev]

Well, a potential EDC it ain't but, if it works and, if you can repair it if it breaks, buy the dang thing and give us some comparative shots!! It sure looks like it'd be a hoot!

[climberkid]

DO IT!!! :nana:

 

[LuxLuthor]

Hell yeah! You see us nimrods dropping $1-3,000 on various spotlights like nerds at an Intel chip fabrication factory. While it is not in the BVH "Bully" league, it would surely be useful for signalling Commissioner Gordon.

whats that tube passing over the reflector?

its an insulated span of conduit for the HID electrode


600 watt HID... 110VAC....I didn't know there are search lights that were made for 110, where did you find this beast?


oh BVH...

 

[FelmarCorp]

thanks for the input, guys :wave:

I'm gonna take a look at it early next week and perhaps I'll have some beam shots soon :thumbsup:

Its pretty heavy...weighs about 150 pounds I think.

P.S. what's BVH ?

 

[SwissT]

See reply No 5

 

[BVH]

Go for it FelmarCorp! Everyone should have heavy iron HID!

 

[PhantomPhoton]

All I have to say is:

DO IT!


Definitely go take a look at it.

I think it's a great price considering the performance. You could run it off of a compact generator while in the field.

something small, around 30 pounds.
Quiet, about 55 dB
Eco-throttle that runs up to 8.3 Hr on 0.6 gal. of Fuel
are you thinking what I'm thinking?

It'll cost about the same as the light but hey...:wave:

You can check out the specs at: www.skycannon.com/products.html

 

[Cigarman]

It could get interesting changing out that lamp too. Not only are they expensive but those globes have some pressure in em to be sure. I love the reflector in that thing....yummy.

That blue kryptonite would invert the flux capacitor, thereby replacing the past with the future, and vice versa? Then yeah we're on the same wavelength.
