Brightest LED light? Gladius?

Interested in knowing who knows what the absolute brightest LED light is about the size or smaller of the Gladius Night-Ops.

I know theres something out there - what is it?

i would have to guess the U2 is up there also with its newly rated 100 lumens...

Probably a HD45 or TNC Lithium Lux V (both with X-bins)

I would like to see pictures of these lights? The LED is being pushed further as the technology rapidly advances, I am curious to see what Luxeon is coming up with and what specifically out there right now. If you knwo the cost - please let me know.

Single LED or multiple?

Big difference.

Certainly Single - the Gladius is bright, I knoe there is a light the size or smaller and brighter, biger if not much is not a big deal - I would love to know the cost, see a photo and some details if any known. I am technology shopping :rock:

I paid alot! About 2.5 gladius' worth....

My name is Brandon and I need help!

My wife and I both carry the Gladius, we love it. The thing I like the most is the strobe, its set to disrupt the brain activity for a moment, I have to say it works good on people and animals. Walking the dog, I flashed two smaller barking approaching pesky muts - they tuned back immediately. I also like the graduated rise and lowering of the beam output. Not to mention can go as deep as 150 feet underwater.

I would like to see the gladius at 200 lumens

EDIT: Ok let's open the field of play, the brightest LED light on the market - which one is it?

Hey PSM, did you get yours yet?
Mine came today, cells are charged and I'm ready for some darkness.

If you want flood lighting over throw then the Surefire L2 is a blazer. If throw is a priority then the HD45 with a W or X bin. As it is right now the Shoppe has only a T- bin HD45. The U-bin Mclux 27LT is an exceptional thrower in a fairly compact package.
Then SF U2 is a decent thrower as well as providing nice flood.
The Electrolumens "little friend" will be fairly compact for a multi-Luxeon flashlight. It will have a fat handle to accomidate the cluster of 4- AAA cells. It promises to be very powerful! Preorders are being taken now, they should be out in a couple of weeks when the price will go up about $30.

Longest tightest throw with a decent spill around the hot spot.

My guess is the Super Flashlight III running a Lux V, XX1S, emitter running and has a two-brightness switch. It is the light on the right side. If you didn't specify the size then I could have named a brighter one. I think the price was $300-ish.

For long and tight throw then I recommend the HD45. You can order one from the Shoppe and have one of the resident modders upgrade it to a LuxV. The head is larger but that is the price to pay for the "Longest, tightest throw".
I have a V-bin modded 2C Mag light that is a throw monster thanks to the larger head.

Are you looking for something to stock for your business? The Mclux products are very limited.

for throw: HD45 , space needle like m@g mod ,L1 ,E1L ,E2L and any othr lights that have a reflector of 27 and above OR have TIR lens.

for lumens: L2 ,L4 ,L5 ,L6 ,L7 ,U2

You lucky sumbit*h!!! Mine is copming from Norway from my buddy Doug A. Probably wont make it to the sunshine state till thurs or Fri....

PM me later after you try it out, let me know what you think about this tiny X-binned wonderlight.... :goodjob:

EDIT: I did receive my Chrome Aleph 3 w/ CR2 body from Don today however, holy thrower batman!!! :nana:

I had CM mod a KL6 for me and it is fantastic!
The stock luxV in it was on the green side and Cris
said it was about 5800 lux @ 36".
He installed a nice WWOT and Bumped the bias up.
It is now 10,100 LUX @ 36".Estemated at 150 lum out the front.
Can you say BRIGHT?
With the L6 you get a nice combo of flood and throw.
I just sent him my KL4 so he can install a WWOS @ stock current.
Can't wait to get this one back.
CM (Cris) does fantastic work at a good price.
I highly recomend Cm for mods like these.

Chanegup - brightest LED emitter ----? Re: Brightest LED light? Gladius?

What is the best emitter you can incorporate into a light.

Re: Chanegup - brightest LED emitter ----? Re: Brightest LED light? Gladius?

The X-bin if you can find them. They're rare as hens teeth. We birds have bills - get it?:lolsign:
W-bins for all practical purposes for the time being.

Someone on here has said that he has a Y-bin, that's nearly incredible!
