Well my M6 Rechargable has a Low Output Lamp Assembly option for general use and I can swap it out for the Lumens Factory HO-M6R which will give me a solid 400-450 lumens out-the-front (OTF or Torch Lumens) and with one hell of a throw for about 35 to 45 minutes. I find its enough to use effectively for a spotter.
However that being said the M6 is relatively old tech that is being adapted and modded by people to extend its life and usefullness. Personally I am waiting for the Surefire M3LT to be released so I can size it up as my M6`s successor.
The M3LT is alleged to have around 400 OTF lumens focused in a TIR lens for one hell of a throw monster. Its also powered by 3 CR123A`s so it saves cost over the M6 and has the same output.
Have you looked at the Lumens Factory Seraph P7? It is a turbo head for the M6. However you can run it on a M3 body on 3 primaries. It puts out 850 lumens. I got a guy here switched over. He is a LEO in Socal. i showed it to him in person and he was hooked. I would highly recommend it. It is only like $100 and a great upgrade. Mine runs on two 18650s. Or it can run on the 6x primary MB20.
