Im sure with the help of some modern technology batteries and a low current HID striker an HID torch could be made.. and be better.

Infact i used to have a torch that had a car headlight bulb in it,  and if an HID kit uses less than a standard bulb... could i not DIY convert my torch?

Still pi$$ poor, 24w @ 1750lumens = ~70L/w approx

Cree LED is 200 lumens a watt

 :embarassed:   Fair point

as said lenser torches are the way forward why use 500 led's when 7 can do a better job 

skip to 4 minutes

allready been done

my hand held  flood/ spotlight has a HID lamp in it,  found plenty of room round the back of the refelector to bung the ballast.    gave teh same treatment to hand torch to but that was more involved

pfff try 50,000+

Not bad, he should of used the cree SMD LED's now they are impressive. Plus who uses mag lights?

Its all about the cree LED's that you see in the lenser torches, now they are amazing, I got a P7 one and they are used as gun lights etc... shows you how far LED's are coming along, all my G9 bulbs in the house are now 3d led variations, light output is brilliant and 5 of them only use 12w and no heat output like with conventional bulbs.

i swear 90% of your posts are gibberish!!! 

Its not giberish, look up:

Lenser P7, Lenser is a torch manufacturer using cree LED's, its slowly what the police, army and prisons are using instead of the mag crap
Read up on Cree LED's and how much lumens per watt they use and cross reference is to various bulbs from xenons to various sized SMD LED's
Look up G9 LED Bulbs
Read up on the effects of why conventional halogen bulbs blow frequently, usually vibrations, and guess what the train station is outside my house.

That should keep you entertained
