I dont even know what I would classify this as. A few years ago I started messing around with installing custom LEDs in my car, and then my work from there kinda just moved in the direction of ultra high power LEDs. This unit is the first attempt I have made at an actual usable unit. I do a lot of install work in my car actually in the car, I dont have a garage or anything like that and I have a weird schedule so I do a lot of my install work in self serve car wash bays, which obviously means I need a lot of bright light. I found I was eating through batteries at a cost maybe even higher than gas, so I wanted a capable light that I could power straight off car 12v, hence this little project, I also wanted flashlight capability as well so I did add optics and a basic focusable capability. I know this does not look like a normal completed project, but keep in mind it was the first completed unit I have produced, so give me some slack the coolest thing I managed here is that, obviously with direct 12v drive it is running at the maximum output, also, I was able to achieve a level of heat dissipation that it can run non-stop indefinitely at maximum power level without becoming too hot to hold.
Ok, here are the smaller versions of the photos, just figured out how to make this work.... sorry, it has been many years since I last made any real contribution to a forum
