Your Highest Lumen Flashlights,*including video* of Lambda VPT3 SBT90 MB flux bin

​I'd like to hear what your highest Lumen lights are. Bonus points for pictures of the lights or beamshots. I'll start with a few of my bigger ones.

:devil:
There are These:

Left to Right: Lambda VP2000 6500, Lambda Hydra 4XML, Lambda VPXML3c, Lambda VPT2XML, Lambda VPXML3c, Lambda VPTXPG2,
Lambda VP Hydra NW,Lamda VPT proto 5700, Lambda VP Hydra CW, Lamda VPT3 4500



And These:

From Left to right: VL4XML Lambda Hydra 16oz Cu heatsink w/various optics(c.4000 OTF Lumens), VP3XML NW Hydra (c.3000 OTF), VP3XML CW Hydra (c.>3000OTF), ElektroLumens FireSword (c.3000+ Advertised Lumens), then just some smaller lights a Mac sst50 Drop-in 4500k (c 6-800 Lumens) and Regular MagLED







I'm going to mention that these are taken on a lowly Nikon 'Point and Shoot' 14MP. The Exposure settings were intentionally overly underexposed so no 'beam' or 'laser' shots on these flooders. They do appear significantly brighter to the eye than seen here. I'll post some more representive shots of these and others in a later post.
All are at the same settings: 1s Exposure, ISO 80, Aperture 3.1
Light was placed at base of the tree on the Left side of the photographs

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

I have nothing over 1k lumens yet.
I have a 900 lumen Malkoff Wildcat XPG Triple with optics, and a 750 lumen Malkoff Hound Dog XML with reflector.

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

This might turn into (mine is bigger than yours thread) hehheheh. I have a Romisen RV-235 with 100+ lumens & thats all I need for now.

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

Daytime:




400' Distance to Target
1s Exposure, 1600 ISO, Aperature 3.1 in all photos


2D MagLED





Lambda 2D XML



Olight SR90



Lambda VPT 5700



Lambda VP2000 6500K



Lambda VPXML 3c CW



Lambda VPXML 3c NW







ElektroLumens FireSword IV


Lambda VP3XML Hydra Reflector



Lambda VP3XML Hydra NW Narrow Optics



Xtar D31 3MCE







Sorry, No photos of the 4XML at this distance at this time. Thanks for looking.

I can only hope! But size only matters if it plays well with the thermal path. We don't need all the light from our Sun to see during the day either but it's nice to recreate that in a small spot around you, lol!

Malkoff stuff sounds awesome, but I've never bought anything from them yet. It sounds like you have a really nice setup there with the Wildcat and the Hound Dog. I like that his new Wildcat us using the XPG2. Maybe gene will put the XPG2 in the Hound Dog using the same drive as the XML to make a thrower like I have posted the thrower thread.

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

Xtar S1 3 x XM-L U2
Skyray King 3 x XM-L T6
Wolfeyes Boxer 24W HID
VPT Dedome SST-90
Olight SR95UT SBT-90
Thrunite TN31 U2

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

My only light above 1K lumen is a MagicFire Scorpion 40W HID. According to other threads, it's ~35w to the bulb, so it'll be similar to other 35w HIDs in output, conservatively 2500-3000 lumen.

Next brightest are probably the XM-L lights, so my Maglite 3D XM-L, Blade SE-1 with a 14500, or the Sunwayman V11R. Yeah, my collection isn't the brightest.

I have always wanted to build a 10K+ lumen light, maybe when I figure out SolidWorks, the electronics, and the optics.

Thanks!
I'm also expecting to see some new stuff from Gene with the XPG-2
He has recently released the Wildcat V4 with triple XPG-2 and 1350 OTF at turn on.
I also think it would be a winner in the Hound Dog, and I'd love to see it driven hard as you suggest.

Gene's lights are like precision instruments. The superb beams, and the build quality and ruggedness and understated styling makes them very special, IMO. I'm a big Malkoff fan.

I keep waiting for his triple XML Wildcat, but it doesn't seem to be coming. Maybe he'll surprise us for Christmas or something.

830 lumens, when it arrives

Maybe he's waiting for the XML2 or something. The single LED Lambda VPT2XPG2 Light I have puts out a solid 750 or so lumens when I compare it to other lights. I can't wait to see what can be done when Cree updates the XML.

I knew you have some nice stuff! Which of those has the most Lumen output? Maybe the Xtar?

Sounds like you must be getting a JEtBeam BC-40? 4 Cr123 or 2 18650 light.

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

Apex 5t6 which I like and is great for showing off... but I just don't need that many lumens.

5XMLs in a tiny light, should be good for showing off That's also the most LEDs in a light listed here.
But really I go out and feed and water the outdoor animals and regularly use lights capable of 3=4K true OTF lumens, just not turned up all the way all the time. But when I go out and want to look around you can be sure I turn it to max to see everything around me.

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

~6000lm video diving light (can be pushed further to about 7000-7500lm increasing HBFlex output to 2A)

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

My current most powerful lights are my Eagletac M3C4 MC-E and Olight M30 Triton. Close third is my latest addition the Eagletac D25C Clicky XM-L and my Fenix TK12 is very close to that. So actually quite modest as for now.

That sir is what I'm talking about!! I don't know how well that beam will work as a dive light though, but it may be perfect for you. I've only did scuba once, during the day and in clear water off the coast in Mexico. Is the Vf the main problem with using these array type LEDs in more mainstream type of lights? I know they are extremely floody and not the most efficient but they are getting better(108lm/W array from cree here http://www.cree.com/led-components-and-modules/landing-pages/cxa).

But even those are Wow lights for trips where most people are running lights on Energizers or Duracells. I've never had and ET or Fenix, but the M3 lights from ET always intrigued me with their handle that reminds me of magazine for an M16 assault rifle. So, you're probably at a good 7-800 lumen level with your lights and plenty of lux there, time for a big light.

Re: Your Highest Lumen Flashlights

My only two powerful lights are a Surefire Hellfighter and a UB3T. About 3000 and 800 lumens respectively. Gets the job done.
