The homepage of a shop in Hong Kong, 4 leds, and seems like it uses 2 123A cells.
All the writing on the photos are in Jap so I can't read it. The chinese only says tough, durable, blah blah.

I can't make out a lot of it due to the small size of the text in the scans, but here goes:
The top row mentions that it was submerged for 6 hours in an aquarium with no problems. It is not an underwater light, but is waterproof for most purposes. The next photo is of it surrounded with dry-ice, with a temperature of -20degrees C. It says that it worked ok, but a light with alkaline batteries would not work.
The second row mentions, as you could guess, the colours its available in. The other photo with the car mentions that running over it with a car(!) scratched the casing but did not cause any problem, it still functioned normally afterwards.
The other photos are of the case it comes in, and the lens (I think it just mentions that it has a proper reflector and lens).
The bottom right-hand photo description, I can't make out at all.
Seems like a pretty tough light.

Thanks for the translation Graham and welcome to CPF!

Here's another site showing the same Mil-Tech Beam-Fire, maybe it tells more about that 4-led flashlight.

Wow. On that last link I saw two models that struck my fancy. I wonder if they can be ordered here in the states, but there may be a language barrier. These two I really liked:

Also, reading through the Japanese Katakana, I could make out DL-123 which was in English characters. If it uses two 123's, then I wonder if that puppy is a multi-Led'er or an LS module?

Ok, the second site is a lot easier..
It says that it uses 4 high-brightness white LEDs with a clear lens and a reflector.
Using the two 3 volt lithium batteries, battery life is 100 hours(!) or more.
It comes with a nylon neckstrap.
Body colours are , well as the picture shows. The specs say:
Battery - 2 x DL-123 3volt lithium batteries(included)
Case body - aluminium
Length - 115mm, diameter - 25mm (19mm)
weight - 75g
Price - 6500yen rec. retail
members price - 5500yen (about US$50)

The site looks like it has some fun stuff, so as it is a free membership thing, I signed up. I may order one of the lights described to see what its like. If so I'll let you all know..
