The Cree CXB3590 and the Budget Light Forum Giga-Thrower joined together to make and insane powerhouse of light. Over a 100 watts of LED power from a single die capable of producing up to 3x the amount of light cheaper ebay 100w emitters can produce.

Parts I used

Potentiometer: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...
Driver: https://www.taskled.com/hboost.shtml
Knob: https://www.arrow.com/en/products/oed...

Note that significant modification MUST be made to the GT in order to get these parts to fit. Even the knob and switch hole had to be modified for these to work.

For this build I took the light from my video 1,290,000 CD flashlight (BLFGT) and installed the worlds brightest LED Cree CXB3590. To get the needed 36 volts I converted the 18650 battery carriers in the giga thrower to make a series connection end to end, and then employed the best LED boost driver I know of the Taskled hyperboost. A 50k logarithmic potentiometer was used as the output control. At the drivers maximum output of 3200ma I should be getting around 16,000 lumens which is incredible for a single LED.

The beam is very wide because of the large size of the cxb3590, but the reflector of the BLFGT still causes it to have good range. Easily reaching distances of 300+ yards. Overall I am quite happy with the build and look forward to doing more BLFGT projects in the future.
