do you even realise how much light a few Cree Led's put out
 
so I had some white CREE led's on a heatsink left, and thought, lets se how much light thy put out in the open

this also with in mind that I want to DIY some landscape light's for the yard.

so at 10 pm I went out side and thought, this is a nice spot to light up a 40 feet tall tree that is about 30 feet wide.

so my heatsink with the 12 led's on it in place I went inside and hit the switch,


BANG !!!!


I tel you, UFO's where landing

I had at least 150 to 200 feet wide lit up, like it was daylight, unbeleaveble wat a punch thy gave.

this even without the lenses on, so if I put lenses on, like 40 degree once, I can lit up the entire propperty from one spot.

if you have the chanse to go out one day, with a set of LED's, gust try it, you will be amazed what it douse

Cree XML's at 3 amps is an insane amount of light. Over 900 lumens... more then a 60 watt light bulb!:mrgreen:
