Wow! 90,000 lumens must be a blast, but I'll take the throw of the original x70 to add just a touch of practicality. I wonder what the run time will be?

Wow, more than 11000lm per 18650, the lumen race really goes crazy! But how useful is it? I can't see other than that the main purpose is to make the most powerful show off light. Funny for a few seconds...

That's the equivalent of about 450 HDS lights, which would put you back about 135000 dollars - so it's a bargain.
I'll stick with my single HDS.

But that fan looks way too DIY 11,000lm per 18650, so what's that....... about 3 seconds @90,000lm before stepdown lol. Lumen war is starting to get downright silly. These type of flashlights are going to make much more sense once there is a breakthrough in heat management and battery cap. Happiest flashlight day of my life was the day I got my DX80 and the day I sold it.

The old 'military applications' lol. Steps down in a few seconds, too many functions , personnel would be told not to use the top ones to save power, would use them anyway lol. I am all for more powerful portable lights but they need breakthrough in battery capacity and heat management before things get too crazy.
I agree. There needs to be a significant increase in LED lumens/watt and battery capacity before these flashlights become more than just expensive hand warmers. BTW, I had similar disappointment with my Imalent DT70.
