I have bought several good lights for my night walks, during the past years (SF L5, Milky M-273 a.o.) and I'm currently using a Quark 123^2 R5 on 17670 Li-ion (200+ lumens). The Quark has a great semi floodish beam with good reach and good spill, and the output is comparable to my Milky M-273 and blows my L5 away. All this in a very low weight package as well.
But in my book there is no such thing as too much light (not yet anyway) so I'd like more output. My question is if there is a single light that fulfills the following criteria:
* At least 600 lumens constant regulated for at least 1½ hours.
* Big hotspot and smooth transition to spill (like a Quark 123^2 (R5) or SF L5) .
* Running on 1x or 2x or 3x 18650 or 17670 Li-Ions.
* No bigger or heavier than say a Surefire M3.
* Price max. $250 w/o batteries (but let me know if it exists in a more expensive light).
All this could be accomplished with 3 separate Quark 123^2 held together with rubber bands or something, which actually is what I'm contemplating, but of course it would be more convenient as one flashlight.
Thanks.
