Sunblaser 14,000

UPDATE 9-20-2018:
I have now upgraded to a boost converter that includes a current limiting supply on the output, in order to maintain the life of the LED. The links have been updated to reflect this. There is also a successor to this device, set to arrive very shortly...

This 14,000 lumen light source is ready for all your stupid ideas. Light up your whole backyard, get some wicked high speed photography shots, or something else. This blinding-amount-of-light Sunblaster is ready for it!

I used a 12v sealed lead acid battery, mostly because it was available and reasonably durable. You may want to swap this out, but I suspect it works well enough for most. As you would with pretty much any battery type, you need a voltage readout to make sure you don't over-discharge the battery.

DISCLAIMER:
This thing is VERY bright. It is powerful enough to light paper on fire when up against it. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! This should go without saying, but don't look into it, and don't aim it a
