Hi Norm.
This is why I should have kept your credit card details six months ago:nana:. All the best, Tom.

Norm · Sep 27, 2008

Tom this is why my credit limit is deliberately kept very low

Cheers Norm

I guess I don't understand the price especially considering it's not for sale. :thinking:

PhantomPhoton · Sep 27, 2008

Um so what's the point of this post?

And what's so special about a cherry-picked Osram emitter in an overpriced light? Take any huge rod of Titanium and make tons of unnecessary machining and it'll drive up the cost.

Light Engine sounds just like what's in Arc Mania's KL4 15W Ostar in B/S/T but at a much more affordable price.

They do actually sell this version
http://www.pro-light.jp/ostar/ostar_1.html

on Yahoo Auctions sometimes for less than 10% of that price:thinking:

Well, its the cost to make the single light. Its more like an advertisement for their prototyping/design capabilities ("You want a unique light designed from scratch? We can do something that complex for only 10k!").

Seeing the costs they mentioned, i think production in larger numbers could push it well below 1K.

Ah, and i really would like to have an OSTAR tested to 1200l@1A

Could be that Flashaholics are interested in flashlights.
Especially exotic flashlights :ohgeez:

Rob187 · Sep 27, 2008

That is one cool looking light.

Mostlarge · Sep 27, 2008

It looks like it wouldn't be a comfortable fit in the hand but at this price who would want to use it.

Well, yeah but you never made much of a comment; just posted a pic, a link, and a quote... no substance or anything. More like an ad than a discussion thread when it was posted.

What the heck is this?!? $5,000 light!

They're calling it the 'brightest quality led in the world'!

I don't think many people would EDC one of these!

It look like jedi's saw

Excellent body, love those multi-piece designs, but it's just bare aluminum - for five grand it'd have to be at least silver..

my opinion. it doesn't look too good.

Does not look like a thrower, but that LED could have serious application in house lighting.

dudemar · Nov 10, 2008

For $10,000 you could make your own light that's even brighter...

...then again you could just get an HID. Or a few with that price tag.
