Hello All, I am new to this forum but I absolutely love LED's and make all kinds of random things with them. For this project which is a work in progress I have seen many people make the super bright lights on a chunk of aluminum or a board but I have not seen anyone put this in a flashlight. Thus I started designing parts and printing, with the goal of building a liquid cooled flashlight that houses 4 - 100Watt LED's that you can fully control the brightness. I am currently building this and wanted to post it out here to get any feedback or advise that people may have as I assemble this thing. The flashlight is 6" in diameter at each end and tapers to 2.25" in the center and is around 40" long so yes its huge. It will house master control for the lights as well as individual control for each 100watt LED as well as brightness control for each LED. It will also house a full liquid cooling system made up of powerful 80mm fan, reservoir, radiator and 40mm cooling blocks for LED's and drivers. This flashlight at full power should draw around 45amps and will be powered by a 6S 10,000 mAh lipo. More details to come but here are some pics and please if you have any questions comments or advice please send them my way this is the first flashlight I have ever built.
