Maglight 3-D modified to 1150 lumens is IN the HOUSE!!

Nice :thumbup:

Pics?

 

[tomthebaker]

OK cell phone pics, 'cause the wife has the camera in her purse at work.

It looks like a 3-D Maglite on the outside, so I didn't bother with a "still" photo.

First up, Bathroom illuminated only by Surefire M3 @225 lumens

M3 beam shot:

Bathroom illuminated by Blackbear Borealis 1150 lumens:

Borealis 1150 beam shot:

about 45 min runtime, rechargeable, awesomeness!!!

pics don't really do it justice

The illumination shots are the best, very cool Tom. I'd like to see an outside beam shot if you get a chance.

Nice Tom, always wanted one of those. :thumbup:

 

[BushcraftBrainTrust]

Very nice Tom, with that big reflector you should get great throw.

 

[Paulinski]

Cool pics Tom...

 

[tomthebaker]

Thanks, guys, this thing is great. Crappy outside pics.

Almost dark across the street:

Not any more!

It also will light up the house behind it to the right, but the cell phone camera won't pick it up.

Cool Tom, thanks! Did you get a spare bulb with your light?

Cool Tom, thanks! Did you get a spare bulb with your light?

Yup. Juan gives great support, too. He's been doing this a few years, and my friend has picked up new batteries and bulbs from him with pronto service. He answers emails fast, too.

 

[peppercorn]

Does he give you any indication of bulb life?

 

[tomthebaker]

35 hours, same as Surefire according to him.

 

[rutmi01]

That is an incredible light Tom! Thanks for the comparison pics.

 

[blakem]

That looks bright.

 

[Paulinski]

and its incan too

 

[peppercorn]

That has got to be one of the best dollar/lumen deals out there.

I've been walking my dog at night with this flashlight. There's just no way someone could sneak up on you when your flashlight illuminates this far!!
