smallest most powerful

[anhieser12]

Have thousands of dollars in competition with my best friend for 35 years. Need to find some way to top him in small size and terrible bad light that will finally show him up. Want the baddest HID. Have been looking at AE Lights. Still need to be able to treat them like a mag light size light, and whoop his butt. Any pointers?

PH40 50W just might do the trick. Else, a Mag655.

Do you know what light he will be using?

Maybe a Warrior III would do the trick, 4x cheaper then the Polarion PF40(8% off coupon at Fenix Store is "CPF8").

The Polarion is much brighter though.

Any Polarion light.
Most expensive and best in every catagory. The X1 is probably the most powerful factory light in relation to its size.

The Zeray-50W from Xevision
Second most expensive. Uses cost saving construction while being equally as bright as the PH-40 / 50

The X990 from Magnalight
$400 and very bright. Shaped like a construction spotlight with variable angle head with a focusable beam. Think, quality cordless drill construction.

N30 from Battery Junction
$150 is brighter that the Warrior and the brightest under $400 Shaped like a small spotlight.

K3500 Warrior is smallest 35W light but not as bright as the N30. Also it
has a very blue color temperature. Small focus adjustment range for the beam. Shaped like a flashlight.

Xenide25W from AE Light
Not as bright as the warrior but better color temperature. Brighter that most 12v spot lights with better throw. Made in USA, very high quality probably only second to Polarion within this group. Great run-time. Shaped like a flashlight.

Does it strictly need to be HID? A mag 623 setup might be pretty impressive coming out of a maglite-approx. 4400 lumens, IIRC. Talk to the Torch Master Mac, or watch for one on B/S/T. Or even better, build your own! (I intend to do so shortly.)

Sure, a 623 with a FM head and smooth reflector would really hold its own.
