If you don't mind a used Maxa Beam, which will save you a lot of money, I might be interested in selling mine.
I have a Gen II Maxa Beam that has been upgraded heavyly. the lamp has been upgraded to a new Gen III lamp,
the performance doubled over stock Gen II, it now measured 6.1 Million CPs (Stock Gen II is the 6 million model, which usually measures around 2-3 Million cps. See this link for some Maxa Beam lux measurements.

Another major upgrade is Custom Lifepo4 battery pack, which I took the stock MaxaBeam NICd battery, cut it open and installed
a 6.6AH Lifepo4 battery pack, kept the Thermo protection circuit & installed a Digital Volt Meter with independent switch (Judico 10A switch), the new battery is safer, half the weight of NiCd battery & lower profile, so the whole unit is smaller, about 1" lower profile which is very noticible, now its even more compact.
Comes with a Lifepo4 smart charger, which plug into the Battery using a custom battery charger port.
Gen II Max Beam before lamp upgrade:
The New Gen II lamp on Top. The Lamp upgrade is not plug & play, to achieve perfect focus,
I modified the lamp socket slightly, which in turn moved the arc chamber location by about 3-4mm.
Upper right corner is the new battery, you can see how small it is. Peaks Beam just started
selling a LiFep04 version of battery, I thing retail about $650 in the US & it's bigger and won't have a digital volt meter.
This beam shot was taken with my other 6Million CP Gen II Maxa Beam when it was stock,
it was about 2.3 Million CPs. (That light was sold a while ago).
FYI, most of the used Maxa Beam seen for sale are gen II, which usually does 2-3 million cps,
often have mechanical issues and with a dead or dying NiCd battery pack. The one I have now
doubles the performance, smaller, lighter and with fresh LiFep04 safet battery set-up is performing flawless.
Send me a PM if interested, I am willing to ship international if buyer willing to take the shipping risk,
as there's is no tracking & insurance, just custom declaration, but I can ship battery separate to reduce the risk.
