Looking for a hand-held torch for my car with massive output and throw. Basically a toy for nights in the country when I want a small spotlight in hand. Tried Tiablo A9 and Dereelight DBS. Also tried Olight T25t and Fenix TK20 in AA format, and a 3C Mag with a Malkoff drop in. These are all fine and lights, but dissappointing that they weren't massive on output.
Then I realized--why do I need an LED? Since the light is rarely used, runtime/life aren't that important. Since it sits in the glovebox, a little excess bulk is not an issue. Realizing this, I started looking into hotwire mags.
Enter the ROP 6xAA in a Mag-2D host. Holy f. This thing is a rocketship, brightness unseen in any sub-$100 led light. LED guys: there's a lot to be said for having a cheap kick-*** incan!
