Let me first explain my position. I already have multiple lights, the most powerful being my G&P scorpion r500. However, when I was operating it outside a building around two weeks ago, I wasn't the happiest with its output. Now, don't get me wrong, 500 lumens out of a light smaller than a 2D mag is great, however, I wanted more :rolleyes:. I decided that my next light MUST be an HID ... I immediatly loved the costco/harbor freight light, until I saw its size. Next I went for the amodotech illuminator, however it was still a little heavy (I don't like SLA) and I wanted an adjustable beam. Before I knew what I got myself into, I was reading reviews and like 250+ pages of discussion about the X990. Is Brightguy the best place to buy it @ $400 or does SUV Lights still have a few left over. Any help is appreciated :)

I think you will be happy. of course there are much brighter lights out there but they cost so much

Price considered, the X990 is probably the best light I can afford (though I doubt it will be my last :))

There are some real crazy lights out there, my favorite being the "Maxablaster", however, these tend to be specialty lights

The X990 excells at both areas, however is master in none

Its a nice light.. they may be doing an upgrade very soon to LiIOn.. you might ask about it. Its a very nice light and the best light IMO for the money unless your willing to double your money.

You'll be quite impressed with the light output.
