We had the opportunity to play with these lights and use them in a real life emergency recently after hurricane Gustav. These lights are extremely durable, waterproof, long lasting, and most of all ridiculously bright!... seriously they are bright.

I was playing around last night and decided to take some output pics from our condo balcony of the light output. There is a casino directly to the right of the building we are in so there is red halide light from their parking area poring onto the beach.

This is an actual picture of the light as seen with me holding the flashlight up over my head:

Here it is with the flashlight in front of me pointed straight out:


Here it is from the reverse angle, I hiked about 100 yards onto the beach to get this angle in the photo.


We have been marketing these to sportsmen, military, and police. I know most car enthusiasts would never have a use for such a device but just wanted to share

 

looks bright, how much?

 

They retail for $350, we may be able to get a GB going on the forum...

 

woah steep price but i understand that the materials must be high quality hence the price.

 

lol maybe we can just make one ourselves...get rid of the cut off shield...voila!

 

If you think that is expensive dont look into this product any further, comparable ones can go for $2,500.00 or more.

2500 for a flashlight?? damn.

 

Got any specs for it? Run time, throw, battery type etc.

 

wow thats bright!

 

It comes with both, the $350 price is the kit price which includes a hard case, AC and DC chargers, a carrying strap, lithium-ion battery, and lens filter

90 min of continuous use.

The bulb/ballast is rated at over 5000 hours of use (like all ORACLE HID) the lithium-ion battery is rated for 500 full charge cycles.

These are rated from -14 degrees or over 125 degrees optimal operation.

 

WOW thats bright

 

how many lumens?

 

I dont know how many lumens their lights have, but I can tell you most HID lights will throw FAR just because of its beam intensity and larger reflector to go with it. if you're looking for a floodlight, this is not the one to get. if you want a spotlight, this light will be great. $350 is a reasonable price because it already took me $200 in materials alone (excluding batteries!!) just to build mine.

 

I'm just wondering if the use of this flashlight has any restrictions. For example, can they be used to go hunting, etc.

 

Ok guys, we are starting up the GB for these lights, we will be posting this on a total of 15 forums so it should be EASY to hit the 25 person mark!

GB ends Nov 30th, Checkout link will be posted that day!
