Got 3K for the worlds brightest flashlight?

[daskraut]

My machinist is producing these hand held flashlights that at 1/2 mile lit up an oil tank at dusk like it was a small sun!. It is about 14" long and pretty light, I have only seen car high beams this bright. It even passed some wazoo U.S. military trial. See it at: http://group5engineering.com/flashlight.html

Post some pics of it lighting up the night

I highly doubt it's the world's brightest flashlight, I doubt it is even the brightest for the size or weight. They're gonna need alot more details and testing to even hope to compare to what's out there now. $3,000 can buy some insane rigs of any size. That light looks like it can barely fit a 10W HID in it. There are only slightly larger lights pushing 45W HID's right now.

You need to visit candlepowerforums.

This is "bright" (1 kW, that's ONE THOUSAND WATTS) and it's far from being the worlds brightest:

They don't even say how many lumens it is at X distance, nor the battery life at said output. No thanks. I can go to CostCo and get a 10,000 candle power flashlight for much less

I never knew about good flashlights until I stumbled upon candlepowerforums. Nowadays, people laugh when I say I'm into flashlights or I spend several hundred on one

If they expect to actually sell flashlights, they should probably publish some performance specifications on the website don't you think?

Look's like a big *** lightsaber. I want.

Please inform me on how I can go about purchasing the lightsaber flashlight. That'd be great for my the next camping/family reunion, showing off my brand new flash light, lol.

That light might be out of your budget.
Can I suggest a nice Surefire M6 for around $400 to start your flashlight addiction...
It's enough to impress most around a campfire.

opps!, forgot about this post. The flashlight is still being "marketed" to sell to some high-end stores as of the last talk we had. I will try and get more info up and posted.

Maybe they should think about giving it a reasonable price why they're at it.

Haha, starting a guy out on an M6.

My Fenix Tk10 is enough to impress most, as was my P2d and P3d.

I'd sure like an M6 though...

I love my M6.
I got it for $200 from a buddy.
It was "last year's demo light" deal...
