Thor 10-Million Candle Power Spotlight ???

[Topper]

Hello, I just saw this online at Cabela's. Has anybody got one? I do not have A spotlight and I was shopping around and I have not heard of Thor or any other 10-Million C.P. The add states 45 min. run time 12volt
any info would be great!

I couldn't find it through a search of Cabela's site. Do you have a direct link?

Try this http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=77126

It has a healthy looking reflector that I would think would provide a descent throw?

3.5MCP? I don't know. The Vector 2MCP has a 6" reflector and 100W bulb as well. They must be doing something right to pull another 75% more candlepower out. Looks like it might possibly be a deeper reflector.

I imagine the Blitz 240 that Sway has could probably claim 10MCP. But that unit...I find it hard to believe.

I had to search for flashlights then select a flashlight. At the top of that page where it says "you are here" I clicked on lights. Then that page popped up I clicked on spotlights and there it was! I was not able to find it any other way and I am not smart enough to put in A link but they are there!

Good god. That's not too convoluted. No specs or links though. Couldn't comment. Have you found a manufacturer's link?

I couldn't find a 10 million cp light anywhere???

 

[Ginseng]

Ok,

Looks like this unit. More info is found here.

45 minutes run sounds right for a 7Ah battery.

Is this a Thor Product? It looks like it with the built in stand. Kind of looks like the 3.5 mcp that I found. Do you think the claimed 10 mcp is legit? It does state that it comes with the H4 bulb. Too bad there is no specs listed.

Isn't Northern Tool a reputable mail order outfit? I get their catalogues in the mail from time to time.

Well,

If it's a 100W bulb and the reflector is 7" chances are it's pretty bright. Still, comparison with other similar lights makes their claim seem dubious. A 9" reflector as on the Blitz 240, more likely. Could a 7" reflector be 5 times more efficient than the 6" unit on my Vector? Mmmmm, I'm not buying it.

Cabeles 10 million????? and with Phillips HID Halogen Bulb. Seems to good to be true. But I'am a flashlight sucker so I ordered one. Should be here in several days and I will let you know. Cabela's has a good return policy. Dave

Keep us posted if you could. It does list a 45 minute runtime. It could be a cheap alternative into the HID World...

 

[Topper]

Well it looks like its time to use my Cabela's points I have been saving up for A rainy day and it is raining in Arkansas right now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Since I do not have A spotlight at all I should be happy with it.

[dwminer]

I don't really think it is a HID bulb as Cabela's ad says it is. Probably only an H4 halogen bulb. But the 10-million
candlepower is just to much for me to pass on.

 

[Topper]

I would not know an HID bulb if it bit me on the bottom. I have not ever seen one.

I just added this thread to my favorites, I'm very curious to see how well this 10milCP light works out. Please keep us posted. By the way, what hi output lights do you guys own that you will be comparing it to?

 

[Topper]

Hi Kartracer31 , This will be my first spotlight so I do not have any thing to compare it to. My M4 with the HOLA is rated at 350 lumens. I do not know how to convert that into candle power however I think it falls A tad short of 10 MILLION C.P. I will attempt to cook A small bird in flight With 10 MILLION C.P.!!! If it works I will let you Know I can hardly wait to list THOR 10 MILLION C.P. BIRD COOKER as one of my lights. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

DWMiner, thanks a lot for the post! BUT, try to post friendly URL's that to not cause people's screens to stretch more than one monitor wide.

Do this instead (Using the Instant UBB Code URL link:
Cabela's 10 mil CP spotlight

Jeese, 10 MILLION CP! AND 45 minute runtime? WOW!

It it is a decent beam, and not some pencil thin beam to get a 10 mil CP rating, this could be a nice item to have!
