Very lucky to recently score one of the two MegaRay 175 Watt Short Arc spotlights originally acquired by CPF veteran BVH.

There are pictures of the light and beamshots here:
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?335367-Got-Lucky-Right-Place-at-the-Right-Time
(Light originally owned by BVH of this forum)

It's already been written about extensively on CPF, so it needs no introduction but...

The MR175 is a portable spotlight used for patrol and surveillance.
This ultra high intensity spotlight classified as a Super Light because of its ability to illuminate distances of over 3km.
It's in use with military, coast guards, border patrol, and law enforcement agencies in most countries around the world.

used for:
=======
General battlefield illumination
Sniper suppression
Obstacle illumination
Crowd control
Covert illumination for EO sensors
Search and rescue
minefield detection
Force multiplier

features include:
=======
High and normal beam settings
Collimated light beam with uniform field of illumination
Power supply operates from 12 to 30 VDC
adjustable beam divergence
Reverse polarity protection
Low frequency strobe (8HZ)
Over-temperature protection
Light weight and user-friendly
Rechargeable lithium polymer battery

used by:
=======
Police services and military units.
Civilian security companies
Utility and maintenance teams
search and rescue units
Nature conservation
customs and border patrols
Verifying line-of-sight up to 100/75miles
sea and patrols

=======

Sale includes:

MegaRay (tested and works flawlessly)
Vest for battery pack
LiFeP04 6S, 3 Amp Megaray brand charger
3 Original LiFeP04 battery pack plastic boxes with OEM battery management System PC boards inside (batteries are dead).

Light is not picky about voltage, and can be run using anywhere from 12V to 30V. I tested it with a car jumper. The beam from this light is astonishing. If testing at night, I recommend you put sunglasses on to protect your eyes before you turn it on.

BVH modded his to use 4 of the 6S/3AH Blue Lipo brand Lipos, giving the light a run time on high estimated to be about 80 minutes. I planned to do the same but never found the time.

Price is (now lowered to $700 - originally offered at $1200) shipped to your door. International OK as long as buyer is ok with paying additional shipping. First "I'll take it" followed by PayPal payment gets it.

One of my grail monster lights... I wonder if BVH would be willing to build a battery pack for this, the buyer then can have a ready to rock Megaray right or of the box!

Regarding the battery pack, BVH used 4 of the 6S/3AH Blue Lipos for a total of 12AH
but you could also just use 2 Sky Lipo 5000mAh 22.2V 30C from Hobbypartz (http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-sl5000-6s1p-30c-6666.html)
and have 10AH which would run the light on high for about 1 hour.

Price lowered to $1100. Far less than it's worth but I need this sold ASAP.

Re: How's this for insane >>> Trade Megaray MR175 for DEFT-edc Enthusiast

OK I saw the DEFT-edc Enthusiast and I'm in love.
Anyone want to trade one for my MegaRay 175 Watt Short Arc?
$8000 military searchlight for a $420 compact thrower
Sounds fair to me!


That Enthusiast has SUCH a useful beam....and fits in your pocket. MR's, not so much.

:D

I don't think you're insane at all, and you just need to find a Less Enthusiastic Enthusiast who's jonsing for a light cannon to replace his light sabre.

Got it :thumbsup:

4-days from the other side of the world that's FAST.
The light looks great cannot wait to crank it up. But I am still waiting on my Lipo packs that I ordered the following day and they are only coming from within Australia.

Thanks for all your help you have been great to deal with.

cheers
