it's not just funny, it's informative.
to start off, 12 xml's are not necessary 12K lumen, especially with those optics.
one statement, that for most rides 4000 is enough, translates to 4 LED's,
car light , 1500 x 2 = 3000 lumen, hid more, 4x xml + heat + lens = 3000 lumen.
always said, 2x handlebar + 1 helmet light is a good start, with old MS it's ~1950
4x MCE = ~2800 .
oh, the heat, handwarmer, that's nice, but I hate noise, especially from fans.
and 12 leds ~140W ,... seen one with a halide lamp, in the 2000W, spot is 1.5 miles,
and it's under 8lbs including battery, runtime 2.5hrs on high, with temps, up to 1400C at lamp,....
next be anything over 2000 real lumen, at 3000 real lumen, be the practical limit,
due battery weight and cost.
oh one more, the design is good, I mean, lost of lamps, come in a cute , little case,
that heat's up in 3-4 minutes, and has to throttle down, dim the power,
so definitely not full power , even the MS does not run full power, the new one has thermal throttle,.... even the Betty, full lumen, at start within 30 sec, ...
this one has probably 3lbs of metal with a high speed server fan, it actually can cool it,
and run at full power. I definitely like that. just not the noise.
