Hello,

instead of doing something serious with my money like going to Ibiza, I put some parts together,
in the beginning there was this lathe and a piece of aluminium:


...later it looked like this, thanks to Piet from Frankfurt:



...and here are all the parts for the whole light together:



...the SST-90 emitters, connected together in series and glued to the
massive heatsink for the modamag 4" Turbo Head:


...the modamag configurable battery adapter with 8x IMR18650 cells, I will use
a stock Mag switch to power this light- not sure, what will happen in use...



"Fat Star" Octa 8x SST-90 in 4" Colossus Turbo Head:


"Fat Star" Octa 8x SST-90 Colossus Led Flashlight at about 18.000 Lumens, the whole light:



This current I measured with 8x AW IMR18650 cells fresh from the charger, I wanted to get
nothing more but 9amps for 8x 2250 lumens = 18.000 lumens, but I got this, my camera had
some problems to take the photo, down left is the heatsink with the working SST-90 emitters.
I hope some resistance will be added when the flashlight host and the switch will come
in between and current will be reduced...

Beamshots with new reflectors:
To have any comparison to the Ledil reflectors, I took new photos at the "Holiday Inn", controlshot:



...please excuse blurish quality, I could only take one beamshot, then some security from the hotel showed up and asked me "friendly" to leave...

...same setup with Fat Star:

Thank you for watching & best regards from Frankfurt,

Steffen.
