" 6k " A Hybrid Flashlight/Searchlight 6k-10K Lumens with a CSM-360 "Luminus" Led
After many months of design, Zeruel and myself have come up
with this flashlight/searchlight project that we would like to
offer Cpf members once things get going.
It is a hybrid light that offers a good balance of throw and flood
for up close and far away lighting. Renderings are shown below
to give you a good idea of what the light looks like. The body
is composed of 3 parts. A middle section housing all the parts.
And 2 outer shells. It will be about 1.25in/32mm thick, With the
other dimensions listed in the pictures below. a 7075 Aluminum
metal will be used in all 3 sections, And will be Hard Anodized
in a type 3 coating. Black/Olive/Natural finishes will be offered.
This light will be offered in 3 different configurations using the same body shell:
2k 3x MC-E leds powered by 5x 18650 Batteries.
4k 3x SST-90 leds powered by 3x 18650 Batteries.
6k 2x SST-90 leds and 1x CSM-360 led powered by 5x 18650 Batteries.
Estimated Max output Lumens in listed order from above:
(numbers vary depending on type of 18650 batteries used)
(These are Actual calculated numbers AT the led)
2k 1800-2100 Lumens
4k 4000-5000 Lumens
6k 6000-10000 Lumens
Runtime ratings on these lights at MAX output.
(runtimes may not be continuous due to heat buildup)
(All models will most likely have a 20hr+ LOW runtime)
2k 1.5hrs-1.75hrs
4k 30-40mins
6k 30-40mins
These 3 versions will utilize the Taskled line of Drivers.
(all models will be configured for 5-Level adjustable output)
2k Hipflex configured for 2.8a Max output
4k and 6k will use the D2Flex driver
Prices depend upon the model you choose:
(these are Approximate prices)
2k 450$-550$
4k 650$-750$
6k 850$-950$
AW Protected or similar Protected battieries
will be required for the 4k and 6k.
IMR Batteries are recommended if you want to
run the 6k to its Max potential of 10k lumens.
The 2k can use DX protected batteries because
the total Ah draw on the batts would be less than
2,400mA, Or less than 1c.
The batteries will be in an Isolated tray inside the
body of the light. Thier will also be a builtin charging
option with all 3 models. And they will come out as
a unit so you can swap out trays easily.
A prototype is being made that will go to the designer "Zeruel".
Then you will all see what a monster of a light it is !!
More Details to come!!!
