While only half as bright as the Stunner-XRE the quadstar phazer still produces 600 lumens at the LEDs. After my estimate of 1/3 loss at the optics, that is still 400 lumens out the front. I have one of his Little Friends-SSC. When I turn that light on it is like turning on a room light, not a flashlight. That is with only 3 instead if 4 LEDs.
The strength of thr Fraen optics is not pure throw but the BIG size of the hotspot and spill light. This is much more useful in real life situations.
You may have to hurry and decide soon. Wayne is only making 50. He has 30 preorders from last year and 4 I'll take it on his thread. Don't know how many people ordering off his website without posting.
If you want maximum throw try talking him into building you a pentalux with the SSC-P4 LEDs. The narrow beam angle of the reflectos should give a much narrower but more intense hotspot.
EDIT
Electrolumens beat me to it. He is offering a pentalux with SSC-P4 under modified flashlights.
