I finished one of my led mods which should be putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 lumens, and i decided to take all of my hids out with me to test them all out. What a glorious sight it was! I put them on the roof of my truck pointing up and tried to get the beams as close together as possible. The beams looked like they went on forever! Take a look!

Nice!

I thought those were Aliens trying to communicate with us.

Wow! Those are some amazing lights!

Your Costco HID really stands out with its laser-like beam, what a great light.
Thanks for the great beamshot!

i've been a little lazy getting to the writeup on it, but here are some teaser pics. the light has 12 Q3s running off of 4 kennan drivers from kaidomain. fan cooled, and i made the heatsink out of 3/8" plate aluminum. runs from the cigarette lighter plug in a car.
