I know the rules are pretty strict here on CPF when it comes to advertising and posting certain links and such, however, I have absolutely no affiliation with this product or company, if posting this link is a violation, I apologize, mods please go ahead and remove it at will. Now that's out of the way

I came across this by accident last night when browsing another forum, and as I sit here chuckling right now as I type this, I wanted to post the link and see what you guys have to say, and whether or not anyone actually has any experience with this thing, at the very least maybe some of you will share my sense of humor when viewing the photos

Looks like something out of a really bad early 1990's action adventure movie lol

I guess that once those lights go into regular usage in the military then each platoon will not have just one heavy weapon specialist but also the heavy light man. A requisite for that role is an indifference to how stupid your fellow soldiers think you are carrying it around, lol!

The civilian version will be closer in size to the Fenix TK70 plunger but with a pistol grip.

Hmm that looks like a good EDC.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a ten...on the cheese factor! They could have done with-out the wanna-be spec-ops character in the red beret...posing like Luke Skywalker...

I can just picture the late night TV commercial right now, that wanna be spec-ops solider is walking in a war torn city, armed with his mega-ray, when out of nowhere a masked insurgent wielding an AK-47 appears out of nowhere, the spec-ops solider aims and fires his mega ray beam into the insurgent's eye balls, the insurgent falls to the ground crying in agony, the narrators voice is heard "Order now and we'll throw in this ultra bright 1 million candlepower keychain light for free!, Discover and Mastercard accepted, sorry no COD's, 6.99 for processing and delivery, MEGAAAA RAYYYY Call Now!"

And will you check out that HUGE benefit of the low setting.

Lithium Battery lasts 100 minutes of continuous bright use, and 120 minutes on low or strobe.

While I do admit the marketing is totally cheesy, the device itself has merit. Time will tell, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this device used "somewhat" in certain tactical scenarios.

My .02 FWIW YMMV
