I'm getting one

  1. Bought on on your recommendation a few months ago. I love it. I've used it every morning and have yet have it need a recharge.

  2. I'd bet long green that's nowhere near the advertised 90,000 lumens.
    Hell, 9000 is a stretch.
    You can spend a lot of money chasing the "brightest" flashlight and I have the receipts to prove it. The biggest thing to consider is the battery type, how many you have on hand, and how you charge them. High lumens usually = low run time.

  3. 90,000 lumens is 1,000 watts. It's unclear which would happen first, the light melting or the batteries blowing up. Considering that the CREE P70 is only rated for 30 W and 4,000 lumens something doesn't add up here.

    POS marketing.

    If you want a real light with real specs get a NiteCore MH-12S.

  4. The brightest light I own is still my SureFire M6.

  5. My wife says no every time I mention getting one of those WWII carbon arc anti-aircraft searchlights.
    Not very portable, but that would be awesomely cool.

    I've parked a Streamlight Protac HL5-X on my wishlist and I worked towards rationalizing my "need" for 3500 lumens. (The truth is that I've already rationalized the need, I just waiting for the right moment to tell SWBO.)

    As ghostsniper said, I have the receipts.

    There are those of us who remember when we thought adding one of those new Xenon bulbs to a carbon D cell battery flashlight made it really bright.
    The light output has come a long way.
