content: The output doesn't seem that impressive. I would have gone with an automotive HID in a automotive projector type housing.

content: It was intended as overkill and as a mad project .Quote from: george graves on April 23, 2012, 12:43:52 pmNow that's slap dash implementation . Automotive HID's take time to warm up and they are usually not controllable unless the controller can support different modesBut sure a few 50W LED's if he was ultimately going for brightness and a shitload of heatsinks

content: Pretty lame way to do it - fewer higher power LEDs and a proper DC-DC converter would give way more brightness for the size.

content: I have seen this LED matrix torch search light, before. This could have been a creation from California's Sure Fire flash light company in Fountain Valley, San Fernando valley, Southern California, U.S.A. It is too big to be practical. The most expensive LED lights are by Sure Fire and Inon of Japan LED flash lights. Some under water LED lights depend upon the surrounding ocean water too cooled it while swimming, diving, or snorkeling.http://www.inon.jp/products/le_light/le550w.htmlLED matrix lights are not new, that GE makes them in green, amber, yellow, and red for traffic signal lights used here in the U.S.A. Are they flawless, no, the green is a little off in color and the LEDs failed and flickers, not all the LEDs works in the matrix. Sure Fire discontinued all of their light bulb, incandescent flashlights in favor of only LED. I am impressed of the video showing the construction of the LED matrix torch search light.
