Brightest Lights you have

[TimeGnome]

Mines currently Xenon filled tubes when they get excited those light really hurt your eyes up close. There used in strobe lights mainly so im not sure were you can find one for cheap. But i would definatly recomend them to people that like bright stuff.

I got this Buy Motomaster Eliminator 25-Million Candle Spot Light in Canada bought it at Canadian tire on sale for 50$. Amazing light, fun to use with lasers, both have fun beams.

Have you tried to focus that useing a series of lenses? If so that would be so cool.

I like line-powered discharge lamps for their raw power:

Mercury Vapor: 7000 lumens @175W
CFL: 7100 lumens @ 105W
Low Pressure Sodium: 7800 lumens @ 55W
Ceramic Metal Halide: 20500 lumens @ 250W
Incandescent: 25,000 lumens @ 1500W
Quartz Metal Halide: 105,000 lumens @ 1000W
High Pressure Sodium: 130,000 lumens @ 1000W

But as far as portables are concerned, I've got one of those 2x18650 P7 auroras from DX. They tell me it's 900 lumens or so. That's kind of beefy I guess. :thinking:

My most powerful light is a Polarion X1 40W HID rated for 3800 lumens IIRC. On the LED side of things, an Olight SR90 30W rated for 2200 lumens. Both are quite bright although I really want to try them outside with all this fog we've been having recently.

I looked at the Olight SR90 30W on youtube and it is indeed quite bright.
Very pricey though 440 US definately hits the pocket

Are you guys trying to serve as a lighthouse on the weekends? lol
And I thought my 200 lumen SureFire was bright...

its not handheld but I have a 40% blue boosted hps bulb that would kill vampires running off 1000w pulsed at 40k

looks even brighter in the microwave though.
