UPDATE:
If you want to make a powerful S2+, I would get the S2+ (tidd.ly/34d41a3b), and just swap the driver with an Astrolux X5/X6 FET+7135 driver (tidd.ly/40dec322), it can provide MORE power than 16 x 7135s, and have lower moonlight modes, with much less soldering. The stock LED must be replaced with a 16mm copper DTP MCPCB board, at this time, I would recommend installing an SST40 (www.aliexpress...) if you want the highest output available, if different colour temps are desired, try the SST20 on a 16mm copper DTP (www.aliexpress..., I prefer 2700K, it's nice and warm, all the lighting in the Ikea store is 2700K. If you don't know, maybe the Sofirn IF25 flashlight is for you, it can vary the color temperature between 2700K and 6500K, and has a max 2500 lumen output: tidd.ly/4f2b8f29
To help make the INFERNO, below is a shopping list:
1.) Convoy S2+ Blue - tidd.ly/34d41a3b
2.) Cree XM-L2 T5-5D 4000-4300K 16x1.6mm Copper Base - $4.45 - shrsl.com/?dowl
2b.) Cree XM-L2 T4-7B 260LM 3000-3200K, Copper Base - $4.84 - shrsl.com/?dowk
3.) 22AWG Silicone Wire - $1.13 - tidd.ly/3f4ceea9
4.) Copper Sheet 100 x 100 x 1.5mm 99.9% CU - $4.74 - tidd.ly/71e2b7dc (Get the 5mm below, if you're really serious! I did, best $18 I spent on 99.9% copper)
5.) AMC 7135(350mA) x 10PCS - $1.83 - shrsl.com/?e3uv
5 - Option) AMC 7135(380mA) x10PCS - $2.37 - shrsl.com/?e3un
6. Optional) New Driver with New Programmable Modes: tidd.ly/7cc3c4d6
7. Required) Sony VTC6 3000mAh/30A Battery - tidd.ly/ad541b2d
Optional Items Below:
8.) 15g Thermal Compound +4.8W/m-k - $3.08 - tidd.ly/eb16eb8c
9.) Copper Braid - $6.59 - tidd.ly/52f09fda
10.) 5mm x 100mm x 100mm Copper Sheet - $15.56 (Cheapest 5mm thick copper you'll find)- tidd.ly/ad7ee7aa (This thing is THICK, with 2 stacked 7135s, you have 5.31mm of clearance, so you'll need to lift the driver PCB to allow room for wires, you can do this with beads of solder. FYI - There is 6.96mm depth, the stacked AMC 7135 protrude 3.05mm, so there is 5.31mm remaining of clearance(the 5mm takes up most of it, leaving only 0.31mm for wires), this 5mm thick copper is probably the thickest you'll want to go, but if you shorten your front spring and put a stud, it should be fine).
Optional S2+ Upgrades:
10.) AR Coated Lens as well, to increase efficiency(Light is reflected back into the reflector if there is no AR coating at high incident angles): tidd.ly/2a101a4a
11.) Side clip, also put a magnet on it and heat shrink it on, you'll be able to mount it to things by it's side: tidd.ly/26c1dac3
12.) Magnets for the side clip, 20Pcs 20x10x2mm: tidd.ly/f31407b
13.) Tail Magnet: Install on the tail with glue, so you can mount it via the tail: tidd.ly/c2e39084
14.) Modify your distribution with these lenses: tidd.ly/4f762b74
15.) Heat Shrink kit, I use this all the time for various electronics jobs - tidd.ly/a6776573
16.) 10° XML2 Optical Lens, this will make the beam tighter, and make it a better thrower, sanding is required to make it fit: tidd.ly/4f762b74
17.) XPL HI / 5° Optic: If you want a serious thrower, buy these, run them hot, and throw on a 5° Optic, it will be one compact seriously powerful tight thrower:
5° Optic - tidd.ly/27eaaf70
XPL HI V5 with 16mm Copper Board - shrsl.com/?eqvf
For the ultimate in high lumen output - XPL Domed V6 LED Only, Cone Dome or Dedome required, reflow soldering onto board required, LED - tidd.ly/432ceaeb
Good batteries and chargers:
Nitecore D4: tidd.ly/b490d437
18650 3500mAh LG MJ1 - ALIEXPRESS: tidd.ly/51d0398
This is a serious light, and pulls over 5A continuously and chows down on 20 watts for as long as the battery can dish it out. It gets dangerously hot, this is made only for those who live for danger, is that you?
A flashlight in my mind, is something that you can put in your pocket, as defined by the word, it must be "portable", if it doesn't easily fit in a standard pocket, it no longer fits the definition of "portable" or "flashlight" in my books.
