This thing is bright!

I am sure they will eventually make these illegal!

For $670 on Amazon it had better be bright.

Expensive too - are they really between 650 - 700 beans ?

 

[Steve912]

How many 18650's in that puppy?

Edit: 8 pieces of samsung 40T 21700 batteries

It's a BEAST!

An Elf made it, so it was free

What could possibly make it so expensive?

I'm a flashlight junkie but with that price tag, it'll have to wait for now.

A fan-cooled flashlight. I love it!

You can send Morse code messages to the space shuttle when it flys over with that thing! I like it!

Super Bright hand held flashlight.

I have a Streamlight ProTac HL-5 X . Very bright and cost $130.00. Actually too bright because the light reflects back in your eyes off of fence posts, car parts, glass and anything else reflective.As a retired police officer I appreciate bright flashlights but their is a point where they can be too bright. This light is definitely too bright for a car stop. In my opinion Streamlight makes the best lights for a person that uses one almost every day for work. I like the ProTec HLP USB as the most powerful rechargeable light for general police work, with out being too bright.

One visit to the Candlepower Forums and that'll happen.

I live on rural property and a couple of years ago I spoiled myself with a Fenix TK 75 2018 Edition, which maxes out at 5100 lumens. I joke that it'll weld gophers @ 100 yards. The OPs would vaporize 'em. I rarely use it - my regular light being a UC40 UE with a max. output of 900 L - but if something goes bump out in the field or up the road at night, i can light it up no problem.

I have 1000 lumen Surefire lights on a couple of my carbines, and a 600 lumen fore end on my M590 Mossberg. My ECD carry light is a 500 lumen model. The amount of light that is useful in a rural area can be pretty great, and the safety help in ID-ing critters and potential miscreants is significant.

I have a couple flashlights that are a little smaller than a can of beer and each hold four 186500 batteries and has 5 big LED lamps in the head, and its plenty bright enough for anything you would need a small flashlight for and it was about 25 bucks. If I need more power I have a Ryobi light that uses 18V batteries that my Ryobi tools use and this light claims to have a range of 900 yards. I don't know if it will throw that far but you could stand in the end zone of a football field and easily light up the other end zone like it was day time and that light was about $60 at Home Depot.

I love flashlights and I have to admit, even for me that might be overkill. I just don't have the acreage to enjoy something that powerful [emoji28]

5000 lumens is plenty for my backyard. Admittedly, I don't use my larger lights as much as I should. If I can't fit it in my pocket I don't find myself ever using it.

I think that when you get into lights in that category, you buy the acreage to accomodate the light Kinda like when you get the high-end sound system of your dreams and find the living room is too small- buy a bigger house!

Brightest one here is about 7,000 lumens. There have been a few times when needing to check out something not seeming or sounding right in the yard. I am carrying a Mossberg 590 and Wendy has the flashlight and a cell phone. The light might be the most important thing carried in some ways. If you are uncertain because you can't see well or it being lighted you may hesitate for good reason. I am a flashlight junkie but could see me asking will it be fine if I got one even with the cost? Her, yes it will be "FINE" translated as don't you believe it. LOL

Back in my cop days, whenever I got to train a rookie, the subject of what equipment to buy would come up.

Now, I'm a gun guy (look at all of my posts!), but my advice was to get the best flashlight you can afford. You will use a flashlight probably every day. In my time, the rechargeable Streamlights were the best.
