Need a massive flood led

After using my led light that is on my sony erricson w800i i found it to be fantastic and created a huge wall of light that lit up the ground in all directions, i dont know what type of led was in it.

im after a torch that could replicate a similar style of flood, obviously it didnt have a bezel etc as it was on the back of my phone.

are there any torches out there that would suit my needs, so far i have a led lenser adjustable focus 3AAA torch whic is a good thrower an good flood , and a scorpian r500 so throw is not needed, but i want more. i just need 15-20 feet max wall of light.

oh also an needs to be handheld an run for at least an hour!

cheers Josh

I had that phone too, what did you replace it with? That's a suprisingly good light on the back of that phone.

A CR2 Ion might give you the effect you're looking for.

How small does it have to be, and how inexpensive does it have to be? For a small EDC, the Ion is really nice, or so I've heard (haven't had the chance to test-drive it yet). If you don't mind a "quick fix," you could try removing the reflector from an existing light. Models where this is possible that come to mind are ordinary Mags, the Minimag LEDs, and the FT-01XSE Cree.

i got the new sony erriccson k800i 3.2mp phone, it has a proper flash now, instead of the led flash the old one has,

im not fussed how big the torch has to be, prob upto 4d mag size would be the biggest and price anywhere around the 100-150usd mark

I wanted a floody light and turned my mag 4D into one. I have a Mag 3W LED in it with Flashlight Lens.com LDF film on one of their UCL lenses for the Mag. It lets you focus the light and gives you a smooth beam. There is still a bit of throw if you want it, or you can get a very wide beam.
The diffusing film has a slighly weaker effect in the middle of the lens.

I like the effect of the diffusing film. It gives me a very broad beam - it would work in a 2D or 3D Mag as well. I would expect that you could get the lens+film with other UCL lenses.

I got a k790a (same as the k800i) to replace my w800i There are free programs at www.getjar.com called Light and Torch that will make your phone act as a flashlight.

Light lights up the lcd screen all white, and Torch turns on the red red-eye LED. Troch works better than you'd think

My SF L4 is the floodyest(sp?) small light I own. Definitely has that wow wall of light.

Inova X5

+1 on the SureFire L4. Lots of flood and good runtime (1+ hours at high output, regulated).

If you're looking for something cheap, the Elly with the head removed acts as a decent flood. I don't have any of the really expensive high powered lights like you all do but I do have that. lol And I used to use my Tmobile MDA light from the camera as a means of illumination. LOL

Surefire L1 or E1L with the F04 beam diffuser put out nice floody light. No hotspot just a wall of light.
Or an M6 with a diffuser for more light

Arty had a great idea with the Mag light if you want to go cheap. I do the same thing and just leave the flashlight head off and use it like a lantern. It's doesn't get much floodier than that.

I you want to go smaller but more expensive, as others have already said..the L4 is about as floody as LEDs get.

Second that.

i was hoping for a light that runs on AA's as over here in aus land its hard an expensive to get cr123's, any more ideas.
mainly used for hunting and night walks so it needs to be tough an can get knocked around.

I would go for one of those Multi 5mm Led lights

Those 7-led's lights still have a 20-30 degree beampattern, I don't think Josh was looking for this..

If I had the time, I would make a mod for you Josh:

What you need is just a couple of seoul-emitters on a flat heatsink, without reflectors or optics..
That would give about 160 degrees of wide flood!! You can add a custom lens with certain focal length to bring the beam-angle back to whatever beamspread you want between 160 and about 40 degrees. (with a beam under 40 degrees, idividual emitters propably begin to show within the beampattern.

Maybe you can ask someone to make this for you...


Regards,

Ra.

umm...

a light with a cree xr-e and has a lens that magnify the beam?

When you are be able to mod, something like this one:

Perhaps in a more modder-friendly host. The beam is more even and useful than my LuxV lights with premium-Led's, with the same amount of output.
