Hi all. After some years away I've been getting back into flashlight nerd-dom. I'm loving the new tech in batteries and emitters! I picked up a few tiny torches with awesome output (Emisar D4 and Zebralight SC600w Mk IV Plus) and have been having a blast with them. They're great for my uses, but I would like to have a dedicated light that can maintain a "turbo" output for a longer period of time. I recognize that these little lights weren't built to handle the heat generated by crazy output for extended periods, no free lunch and all that. For what I'm looking for size isn't a real issue ... within reason. So, does anything fit these criteria:
1. Quality light with simple UI (the fewer modes the better)
1. 18650 battery source (multiple 18650's are fine, but the fewer the better)
2. Ability to maintain 2500+ lumens (and more would be better) for an extended period of time (10 or 15 minutes would be great).
3. Mixed flood/throw (flood more important than throw - I use it to light up a field)
Thanks in advance for any direction!
