Searching for a Thread HELP

I did a thorough search of CPF via the google search and the CPF search.

It was a maglite mod that had 17,000 lumens. It wasn't exactly 17,000 or I would have found it. I don't remember if they mentioned the bulb, but my search says it must be 600w. The thread had either a picture or a video of the flashlight illuminating an entire building from the roof of another. I believe it had a 5 second runtime. I am not sure if it was heat or battery power that limited the time.

Please help. Thank you.

Edit: I also did a search of the Threads of Interest. It doesn't seem to be listed there.

Thanks, but see my edited post.

As far as I know, Lux's vaporizer was the king at 9000 lumens.

If you find the tread, post it here so we can learn something new and to have Lux update his tread.

Edit, is this the picture you are refering to?

Yeah, that's a building, but the one with the 17,000 lumens beamshot was taken from the roof of another building.

I appreciate the help but I am :hairpull: trying to remember where I saw that thread.

I can tell you that the 5s runtime is definitely not because of the battery, because that would mean a rate of 720C. A decent host should be able to handle the heat from a 600W bulb for a few minutes at least, so 5s seems very short from that standpoint as well.

There's a popular 600W build that has a runtime of five minutes instead of five seconds, but it uses a spotlight host (LarryK12 and LarryK14).

I hope some of that gets you a little closer to finding this thing. :thinking:
