Surefire!!

I am now the Proud Owner of one of these Monsters.

Also got one of the TR recommended L1s and it is the heat.

Already used the M6 to turn off street lights

It's only technically not a light-sabre, in reality it works pretty much the same as one.

Air,

Do me a favor and take a pick of the light next to a dollar bill, I’ve no idea if that light is the size of a half dollar or as big as a full size Mag Lite.

I'm still going to post the pic, but I'm going to be out of town for a few days without access to a camera. The Dimensions were meant to hold you over for a few days, Not as a substitute.

Anywhoo, you can hold the damn light in your hand, it weighs less than a pound and they have been used with IR filters to signal Satellites in Outer Freakin Space. Thats impressive, I don't care who you are.

I have noticed on the L1 that on high beam, it has the same Diamond shaped beam that the X200 does. Hmm, Interesting.

That is all

What do these things cost? What size batteries?

I'm impressed.

Retail is $392

Takes (6) 3 volt lithium batteries held in a magazine which I will take pics of tonight.

Batteries last 1 hour with the 250 lumen bulb and 20 minutes with the 500 lumen bulb.

I took the light with the 250 lumen bulb on a trip this weekend and was able to light up areas across a 300+ yd. stretch of water.

Definately useful for zombie control

The 500 Lumen Bulb will blind you for several minutes. Even at several meters away.
