Magnifying The World's Brightest Flashlight (200,000 Lumens)

Anyone who wants to try to magnify a source of light so that it is smaller than the source (without losing any light) with any combination of mirrors or lenses can use this simulator: https://phydemo.app/ray-optics/simulator/. But here is a reminder. All real sources of light emit light in at least 180 degrees. So in the simulator, you can't use a source that artificially emits in less than 180 degrees (you have to use point sources of light, you can line them up in a row to make a source that isn’t only one point). I made one setup with one LED https://bit.ly/3SawbxB and one with two LEDs https://bit.ly/3zQcjJJ. You can use the "detector" to see if you can get more light in one area than at the surface of either LED. Good luck!
