I am in the same boat. I'm a security guard and I am currently using an L900 daily. This light is better than most people ever could wish for, yet I have tried an experiment where I held three lights of similar output together and I really liked that increase in output. Simply doubling the output was not really satisfying. I guess it is like things in the audiophile world, double the power yields a noticeable increase in sound level, not a dramatic increase.
Have you seen the Elekrolumens home page? I have been exchanging emails with Wayne and he has been very kind and forthcoming with his responses to my ignorant questions.
I am going to do another experiment tonight to see if the nearly pure flood of the Firesword will do the trick for me. I am going to run those three lights through a fresnel diffuser to see what that looks like. It will not equal the output of the Firesword, but it will get me into the ball park.
I know that I just want one. The workmanship appears to be top notch, I just need to have some additional justification.
Best regards,
DGM
