No expert here but all the zoomie to flood flashlights I have seen only have one LED in the middle of lens.
Problem is you would need about a 6" lens for your monster light:)
Great job on that by the way.

yup your right and a 6" lease is not super cheap so I would like to understand if it would even work before I bought one.

I have no idea of what the design details would be for your light,but i would guess a 400 meter focal length Fresnel Lens

for starters might be printable for testing.

That is pretty cool but I think these lights would melt any plastic lens I put in front of them. I think I am going to order a basic fresnel lens and see what I can come up with.

How much of an improvement do you expect this to make? Any worry about it melting?

No clue I know nothing about lenses and focusing light. I would like to be able to direct the light a bit more and throw the light further beyond that this is new territory for me. I ordered a 150mm lens and am currently printing a lens holder for the flash light that should allow me to move the lens closer and farther away from the flashlight. I have attached some pics of the 3D model I will post more once I get this all completed.

This is the bottom of the lens and it screws on the head of the Flashlight
