Is anybody willing to put their Surefire to a lux meter?

[I came to the light...]

Just a very quick question that a search did NOT answer: what is the lux at 1m of a current generation Surefire L4? I understand it's a "wall of light", not meant for throw, etc etc, but I'd really love to have a number too.

My 2001-era L4 measures 520 lux at 1 meter. In comparison, a Deal Extreme 11836 Cree R2 drop-in for a 6P measures about 8000 lux at 1 meter. An old Gladius measures 2300 lux.

I saw some numbers like that. Hasn't the L4 been upgraded since then?
