FOR SALE: Quad-SST-90, Quad-26650, "Beast"
I wrote a review thread of this here:
http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/review-quad-sst-90-quad-26650-a-69191.html#post999088
If you simply took the datasheet lumens per emitter, you'd have a total of 10,000 lumens from this beast! In this case, the emitters are probably driven harder than datasheet current too, so the figures may be pushed higher. At the same time, I know "out the front lumens" are not the same as datasheet lumens, so that number may be pushed lower. Don't take "10,000 lumens" as gospel. But no matter how you slice it, this is by far the brightest flashlight I have ever seen. In the comparison below, it is put up against the 100W HID headlights of a truck (on the LEFT) and the flashlight by far out-brights it (on the RIGHT).
Read over the review thread I wrote, and I'll try to fill in any addition info as required. But I'll not that I didn't build this guy, I bought it, so I don't have highly technical knowledge of it, other than knowing that it was built by a respected member on CPF. One note, you don't actually have to use 26650s if you're an 18650 person. All you need are the cheap $2 plastic converters that abound on eBay and various chinese websites. 18650s still drive this guy to a brightness level I've never seen matched.
I love this flashlight a lot, but it's not a convenient flashlight to move with (which is something I'll have to do this summer). I realized that to get this to my annual camping trip would required taking it in in-flight baggage 3-times before August. It's just not practical for me to keep right now. I'm going to need to invest in something less bright, for this summer at least.
Price: $275 + shipping
I think shipping may cost a lot on this, but for simplicity, I'll cap the price for tracked/insured shipping in North America at $20. Any extra, I'll pay. For international, please PM me first.
