WOW!
Will this ever go into production?
Not sure. In fact it already exist as a video light, with external battery packs. If there is enough interest we could think about making a small production for GB's or so. It is not going to be a cheap light (It has all the Barbolight U series characteristics, and even the toggle switch and its cover are Mil.Spec).

hahah crazy I like it! 12 leds. Are those 17mm reflectors?
I like how it's short and stubby. Just looks like some mean brute force military thing.
LuxIII's I take it? A bunch of TX0H would help with the power and heat issues, but not sure of how to power it then without a driver or multiple drivers...
The video head has flood reflectors, the handheld light 20 mm reflectors. Bothvery high quality ones.
It has no converter. Just 6 x 2 series. Slightly resistored down. 90 minutes to 75% initial output. Efficiency is near "perfect".

Looks impressive. How is the heat aspect of it? How many watts go into the LED's?
Will
Initially is pulling near 39 Watts.
At 25ºC ambient temperature and no air flow it gets near 52 ºC in 10 minutes. You can hold it, but better using gloves!
Not very funny, but a flashlight you need to use gloves to use it is.... exciting. Don't you think so? A kind of nuclear light!
BTW, we used sunglasses when testing them.
