Thoughts on FireSword-IV from Elektro lumens

[Brian321]

I want to buy this light just for the hell of it, I would possibly use it for caving or camping if i felt the urge, But not always i have a few good lights already that are more practical. But anyway is this light worth the money? Going to be durable and bright? More than a novelty light?

P.S. If you own this light i would love some pictures of how the beam looks. Thanks.

Basically its like carrying four Jetbeam M1X lights at once, in one handheld, roughly 3x the mass as one M1X, and a more basic UI, you'll need four 18650s, but yes, it will be nice and bright.

If I remember reading correctly, the human eye perceives 4x the lumens as 2x as 'bright' so it will 'feel' four times as bright as a single MC-E light which are fairly light and easy to carry.

It will be floody having four small reflectors for the emitters.

Could be a real cool light, its what, ~13 inches long? Still not unweildy.

But, look at other lights in the $400 +(4x$15=$60) range such as some of the Titanium Innovations HID lights at Battery Junction, or the SST-90 Olight SR90 available as well.
