500,000 lux@ 1meter!
This is the Franken Mag Short Arc, My 3rd short arc mod, My 1st short arc in flashlight format & my 6th Franken mag, For other Franken mags, click on my signature at bottom :)

How about a little guessing game?


  • Thy name is not "Beast", as it'll spank the crap of the "The Beast" :D
  • Haven't figure out a suitable name yet, feel free to help me name it.
  • I've done Incan, LED, HIR, HID & Short Arc, not telling what it is.
  • No specs at this time, I won't reveal the specs until it's done.
  • Last but now least, I am not Surefire & this is NOT a Vapor ware :devil:

Double aspheric lenses? 6" deep reflector? I'm guessing you got some serious throw there.

Looks like a maglite modded into a bigger maglite. If it's double headed, then the name is..... JAKIRO!

I think Mr. Butterworth would be a perfect name. Completely unassuming, until it punches you in the face :D

Re: Move over SureFire, there is a new Beast in Town!

looks nice:)
I see you have attached the Night hunter II head onto a mag. I'm guessing a 35w HID mod used with the night hunters high quality reflector for amazing throw (if a ballast fits).
