2000+ OTF lumens for hours at a time? (No battery constraints)

creyc · Jun 23, 2013

This isn't strictly for a handheld battery powered flashlight, but the technology should be similar.

I'm looking for something that will produce 2000+ real lumens OTF, continuously for hours without burning up, degrading, or getting any funky color tint. It will have a power supply (no batteries) and can be fan cooled.

Are there any single chip emitters out there that will do this, or am I definitely in the multi-emitter category?

Hit up your local junkyard for a headlight out of a wrecked late model BMW?

Interesting, didn't realize they were doing full LED headlits. You seen any more info or teardowns of these lights or how they work?

Ideally I'd like to stick with more normal easier to find parts, however.

Lots of luminus chips will do this. Cree MT-G2 on copper will do this if slightly overdriven. Mount it to a CPU heatsink that has a fan for a simple way to achieve adequate cooling.
