HID Flashlight - Non branded AE Light PL24

[SAMBALLS1]

No seas mamon puto, pinche little mag light. Why even turn it on! No MAMES!

[ekim3214]

Its a fat lot of good showing a flashlight in a room . This gives no indication of the length of the beam throw outside so is a waste of  time demonstration wise Clive

[fmws0930]

AE Light make some great flashlights. aelight.com

[JohnJ512]

Pls show us the Video for 300-400 yards range as shown below.

Other You tube Video

1) LumenTek 24W HID Flashlight in Citys

or 2) Xe-1 flashlight superb brightness

Can yours reach 300 yard minimum to their standard!

[stvna]

carefull the carpet doesn't catch fire lol

[jumpout6]

"AE PowerLight PL24/6-S, 24 Watt HID" probably the brightest with most throw still being sold

[BenHutchinson1]

That other flashlight has dead batteries. NO working flashlight is so dim that it can't compare to HID. Half as bright I could believe. But it would NOT be one one-thousandth as bright (as this video looks like). This video looks like an advertisement for the HID flashlight. Are you sure you aren't working for the manufacturer of the HID flashlight.

[Manimal347]

Um, some HID units have an easy 1000 lumens in a compact space; the brawniest two have 4,000 lumens. A 100 watt light bulb has about 1,000, and a little 2AA/LR6 Maglite probably has well under 50 lumens of yellowy tungsten output. Now do you get it?

[BenHutchinson1]

How about the 3 D-cell Maglights?

[BenHutchinson1]

And what kind of batteries is that HID light using?

[UWROTCIV]

HID lights use custom batteries at around 12+ volts, 3D Maglites are around 3-4volts.

3D Maglites output about 60 lumens(brightness rating), while HID lights output ~500 lumens for 10w bulb, ~1000 lumens for 20w, ~2000 lumens for 30w, and ~3000 lumens for 30w, these are just a estimate for the output of lumens for the watt rating of a HID bulb.

The power(lumen) can change in the volt the batteries output.

That Mini Maglite probably had only 5 lumens.

[BenHutchinson1]

The ONLY problem is that HID light take a warm up time until usable light is attained. An HID street light for example takes like a whole FIVE MINUTES. With these HID flashlights being so expensive the only people who would buy them would be the law enforcement, but they need INSTANT light to blind criminals. An HID warm up time would be WAY to long for that. So this whole HID flashlight thing is a COMPLETE RIPOFF. And this vid is ONLY on Youtube as an ad for the light. IT IS SPAM!

[BenHutchinson1]

For "high intensity" light, I simply use a high power LED flashlight (with six 1 watt LEDs). Nuff said. And it cost me only 20 bucks.

[BenHutchinson1]

And in this video that minimag DOES have low batteries. Not just because of its dimness, but ALSO because of that yellow color it gives. A flashlight with FULLY charged batteries should be white (not yellow). But since low batteries are ALSO going to make it dimmer, I think a better comparison would have used FULL batteries in the Minimag. The fact that they use low batteries to make the comparison, PROVES this is just an ad for the HID light. They TRY to make the Mini mag look dim in this ad.

[UWROTCIV]

HID is not used by the law enforcement to blind someone instantly.

If they wanted to, they would just get a LED light.

HID lights are for searchlights like lighting up a street to find someone.

HID is actually the most energy efficient light.

Mini Mags are of the worst lights, their the dimmest and useless.

1 watt LEDs are also not that bright.

The camera in that video just had a automatic light adjuster that made the HID light look dim.

If this was a ad, what's the name and where can I get it?

[BenHutchinson1]

One thing is certain. They are NOT the most rugged type of light available. Why? With the HID lights, they emit light by ionizing and passing an electric current through a gas. This SIGNIFICANTLY heats the gas. And in such a small bulb, putting 20 watts of power, will increase the gas pressure to HUGE amounts. At full power, these things are practically on the edge of breaking JUST from the heat and pressure. If you drop it, you WILL need to get a new bulb, cause the old one will just shatter.

[BenHutchinson1]

The ONLY reason to get one would be just because it "looks cool" because of the technology involved. It isn't a very practical light (one drop and the bulb shatters under the high pressure). And it is NOT CHEAP. It's sort of like a status symbol, like a BMW car. A regular Maglite is like your average Honda. The only reason to get an HID flashlight is to show of your wealth.

[UBERKron]

@BenHutchinson1eat it. one has at least twenty five times more power than the other. torches not cars.

[ws6transam1971]

@BenHutchinson1 you dont know what the fuck your talking about. i know you posted this over a year ago but fuck your stupid.

Look at all the weapons mounted HID lights that both surefire and polarion offer. Mounted on .50 caliber machine guns.

There is no filiment to burn out and no the gas pressure inside the bulb are no where near busting out as you describe.

get a clue before you spew you shit everywhere

[BenHutchinson1]

As far as who makes these, isn't there just one company that does this?

[UWROTCIV]

No, there are many companies that manufacturer HID Flashlights.

[nineaclock]

Actually ben if you read a little more before you write such a stupid reply. First off most of the new Metal Halide short arc H.I.D filled with Xenon only take about 8 seconds to warm up to full spectrum. Just depends on how much you want to spend for a lamp. And most the H.I.D lamp used in street lamps only take about 1-3 mins to fully warm up.

[samsomiller]

This is probably less than 30 watts and that takes only like 5 secs. to warm up.

[liuwenjie6678]

yeah,just a xenon!!

[coondogtheman1234]

cliffud can you show the operation of this flashlight outside on a dark night

[ghpk]

how is this powered.

Iam looking to but one, can this be shipped to India ???

[Thissiteisapain]

This one cost $350.00 which is in American Dollars.

[liuwenjie6678]

i got a 605.00 dollars hid light on ma mountain bike...

[fwynn]

damn i want one..

i hate it when Bro. Lifted Trucks with HID's are behind you tailgating your ass..

[cliffud]

i got it from mobilehid-dot-com, it was the cheapest i could find and they have the 14w ones for $230 compared to 300-350 elsewhere. mine is a 24w one but they don't sell that one anymore.

[kevinfederline7777]

what store did you get it at???

I can find any HID Flashlights Please help me

[reneir0492]

what is the cheapest hid flashlight that you can buy at a department store

[DAGSTERZ26]

LOL!!! I doubt youll find anything like this at a department store. If you are worried about prices.... then don't bother looking for HID anything....stick with cheap department store crap.

[reneir0492]

ok whats the cheapest,in the internet

[jebustheone]

Renier oyu usually have to build HID torches, (i couldn't do it), look on the CPF forums for help, those are really nice guys.

I bought a HID torch for diving, they work better underwater due to hear loss, they get REALLY HOT, even compared to LEDs!

[LEXTR0N]

that waas so stupid wth the other dim flash light i have the same one and it brights well the only reason y the shows dim b/c the battery sucks

[Scottwax]

I need to find a smaller one for my road bike before winter and it gets dark early. I have a good LED light now, but that HID one is definitely brighter.

[jecwhiz]

That is a cool flashlight! I never actually knew aboujt HID flashlights, as I do know a lot about lights....I am assuming it has an electronic ballast inside to have the HID work? And what is the power source? plug it in or battery powered?

[norcalrydah]

Yo ... ive seen clifford HID flashlight in person and its super bright... Wats up cliff? .. its mo.. check out my video of your HID kit installed on my car...

[Hitmanlaw]

Very Cool!!! See my videos

[FortunaHell]

the best is shurefire

[AdamGotIt]

I can't believe that I watched a flashlight sit on the ground for a minute and a half. I guess I was expecting something cool to happen. BTW Awesome light. I have to get one of those.

[Halobitt]

That sure does have some 'OOMPH'

:)

[NL59FIFTY]

Is that a Wolf Eyes HID?

[Beachtech]

Sam's club has a H.I.D. flashlight. Very big, kinda heavy, but only $100

[ShadowWorks]

thats not a fair test, get a big mag light.

The HID is flipping amazing! winner hands down.

How much does it cost?

[cyr0]

why was this video so long

[cliffud]

halfway through i had to go get my mini maglight in the garage. :) oops.

[mcunha71]

Because HID don't get full power immediately.

[Superdude688]

damn and i thought my maglight was bright. pwnd.

[aznfryboi]

is that light strong?? i mean can you focus the beam?
