SOLD: Franken MagDaddy PAR46 HIR >400,000 lux @ 1 meter, crazyest flashlight ever

SOLD

Original build thread here:
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...HID-lighthouse-beam-shots&highlight=mad+daddy

It out-put over 400,000 lux @ 1 meter if running on 4x26650 IMR 14V set-up (NTC resistor soft start is built in). This is the level of throw of a $2000 Polarian X1 HID or the jumbo sized 15 Million CP Thor Magnum(9" reflector) spotlight. As for lights in the "Flashlight shape", I haven't seen another one on CPF that can beat MagDaddy in throw :devil:. Instant on/off, two levels of light with 10Amp DPDT switch. Even the Low level is around 100,000 lux@ 1 meter :eek:

My friend wrote the description below:
"Franken MagDaddy PAR46 HIR, GE H7680 hir 6 inch lamp, cut-down 4D maglite body, 2-mode, Hi & Lo, runs with four 26650 LiFePO4 cells or 4 IMR26650 cells in pvc tube.

Reach out and touch (I mean illuminate) someone across a lake.
It never fails to impresses anyone you show this to. Your
friends will shake their heads, claim your insane."

Asking for only $245
, $225 that's really not a lot of money for such level of performance.
It'll spank the crap out of ebay 65W HID, Mozo ultralight HID, N30, L35, the list goes on....
Ship in USA only. Shipping/PP fee are extra. Batteries not included.


some beam shots:
5xR2 Cree LED Flashlight, 1200 Lumens.

Well this is certainly interesting. Any idea what kind of lumens this monster makes? I know that's not the point but I'm still curious.

BTW, the guy that recently acquired ma sha1's Franken Mag Shorty XML U2 has been sleeping with my wife for the past 20 years. ;) :devil: (For those of you who may be comedically challenged...that guy would be ME!) :crackup:

That's funny, you got me there for a moment :crackup:
I am not sure she'd want others to know for marrying a guy who walks around with a tool named shorty... :crackup: :crackup:


The Franken MagDaddy runs 16v x7.5Amp ~120W. Just an estimate:
The Over driven HIR should be ~50 lumen/watt efficiency range, 50x120 ~6000 lumens.
It blew away the 35W Mozo HID (4" reflector) in both throw & lumens.

Are the parts easy to come by to build one of these? Because I might want one in the future if you make another one....:devil:

Nah...she renamed it the "Franken Mag Long Thrower XXXML U2?" I dunno...her idea. :devil:
