It might if Makita would get on the ball and offer a decent bulb for it.I finally had to buy a Dewalt bulb made for 14.4 V to get some decent light out of mine(Makita specs a 12v bulb that the filament folds over after a few minutes of use causing incredibly bad beam quality)I also put some Wrightright film on the lens to smooth out the beam-it isn't Surefire quality,but it is pretty good.
It does stomp the M6 in battery costs though.I can get about 5 hours of good light from the 2 NIMH packs for the price of a charge.
 
Yours may look better,but does it have an extra bulb under the reflector like mine?

You guys don't believe me do you? Think about it though,14.4 volt nimh battery and a cheap flashlight you can modify! You can't tell me you guys haven't modified one of these yet! I put a 55watt halogen in mine and took out the resistor that regulates the voltage down to 9.6 volts and this thing is
BRIGHT! I don't hava an m6 to compare it to but i think a 55watt halogen puts out aprox.
650 lumens which is 150 more than your m6 HOLA.This is my first mod and i know it isn't pretty like some of your work but i think it is pretty cool.

Go ahead, open your barrel of whoopass ,I own the factory! And i don't own a 9p for your surge to stomp!But have you ever tried to make a flashlight out of an aircraft landing light? I was thinking about that as my next project and any advice you could offer would be appreciated. And my MAKITA14.4V55WATT.EYEFRYER stomps all of your lights!

Haha..you guys are funny...and hard to keep up with. If only flaslight companies shared your enthusiasm and energy. Just imagine if we had an industry full of "bigwusses and Aragorns."

We'd have a market full of bright and inventive lights...not to mention a market full of cocky-*** *******s. (I'm just jealous that i'm not as intuitive as you guys.

i respect a person who is not satisfied in leaving a light at stock brightness. it shows that the owner has standards and imagination and determination. i might be more open to the makita if i knew what the heck a makita was- it sounds like a japanese cocktail.
