Quite a few years back, in 2004, there was a superlights shootout by CPF' old timer kenshiro:

a stock Gen II Maxa Beam Short Arc was the longest throwing light of the group.
(I have 2 Gen II Maxa Beam, they measured 2.3 & 3.2 Million CP respectively)
fast forward to 2011, In this shoot out, the Maxa Beam is the bottom of the bunch :devil:
The Lights
Left: Gen II Maxa Beam #2, with upgraded Gen III lamp, 6.1 Million CPs/1800 Lumens
The shoot out was done on the Hi mode ~4 million cps (not the 30" burst mode).
