Surefire Hellfighter (picture intensive)

:devil:

j/k ..It's got plenty of "worth"!! but beamshots would put a capper on it!
 
Congratulations DaFABRICATA!
The light looks mint. What a score.
Make sure you get at least one of the BB-2590/U bats. They are light weight and give you real nice run time!
Seery you are next?!
I am also glad I am not the only one on the hook for beam shots anymore. We had snow and ice storms here one after another.
 
I finally got my dream light today!!

Now to get the parts together for the cable and time to save up for a battery.

ShortArc...THANKS for all the help and info!!

EDIT: Amphenol Plugs ordered....hopefully will be here by the end of next week.

WOW INDEED, DaFABRICATA!!! That's one HELL of a Hellfighter to be certain!!! Yessir -- a score beyond all others, IMHO. :twothumbs

Amphenol makes some of the best connectors on Planet Earth. I've used them extensively in RF work and for the occasional power application. In other words, a great choice you made, Sir. :thumbsup:

Congratulations, my man! I *KNOW* you'll be having a blast with your new toy . . . just don't shine the thing in my eyes! 😀

Great DaFABRICATA! :twothumbs
The HF is a laser.
Not a bright as some of the other HIDs but it has a nice outer flood for general illumination and then a real spot! The Beast II by comparison has the smoothest flood I have ever used. The Polarions are in between and will probably appeal to more people.
Now that DaFABRICATA proved you can take beam shot in the freezing cold and a snow storm I have no more excuses. It's a balmy 12F out so I may just head out now for a full suite of comparison shots....NOT.
 
Hi! DaFABRICATA!
Very nice beamshots.:twothumbs Thanks for sharing!
By the way, how far is the targeted tree?

Been on the prowl . . . hopefully very soon.

"A laser" . . . can't wait to add the Hellfighter to the fleet.

The Beast II beam is amazing. I agree, it's definately the smoothest of any light I've ever seen in action!

DaFAB - PM sent. Maybe we can get together and do some Hellfighter/Beast II companion shots.

Sounds good to me.
Only problem is no drivers lisence to meet up with you.
If you ever head out toward Ann Arbor, I'm sure we could work something out.

Heres a few more beamshots...still not done snowing:scowl:

These pics help show the "shape" of the beams quite well.

The 3" Turbohead has a nice "needle shaped" beam.
The KT4 has a larger hot spot but still throws a "ram of light" downrange.
The Hellfighter has a very intense "hot spot" and decent spill, but the cut-off is noticable in the pics.

DaFABRICATA,
for god's sake stop being so utilitarian and lose that orange extension cord! :poof:
Aesthetics man aesthetics. Zip cord would have looked better :grin2:.

All in good time my friend..:grin2:

The orange cord was cut from another cable using an amphonel plug.
My amphonel plug ends should be here this week. I still need to order the cable though.
I will probably make one with a straight cord & one with a retractable...like yours..😛
There are no covert ops taking place inside my home that the orange will give me away....worst case, I put some black wire loom over it until I get the new cable. :green::ohgeez: :poke:
 
Hey DaFABRICATA,
once you get your military BB-2590 battery (and you need one of those trust me) next is one of these :devil::

If I find a charging station in a bright color, orange or pink, I'll PM you…
 
There was a Hellfighter on Craigsllist about 10 days ago and I believe the seller wanted $3200 or close to that. He was in Texas somewhere, I don't remember exactly. What is the difference between the Hellfighter and Hellfire? Did Opticplanet.com just list the name wrong?
