First, the Vector Sportshot is clunky, a little hard to hold, heavy. The beam is irregularly shaped whether on one or two bulbs with a wide area of erratic intensity. I am trying to say everything bad about it first, because it is a HUGE light for the price. It comes with wall and 12v chargers, has 3 settings (work light 15 hrs, single and dual "beams"). I loaded up new 123s in the M6 and got on the balcony to look into the opening in the dark woods 800 yards away. The m6 has a perfectly round light , the center of which lit up the opening very well, but the bushes behind it were poorly lit. The Vector lit the area up much better, but not nearly as well as the x990. The HID light is radically brighter. I lit up some ANRI hand painted and gilt nativities on a dark room and the Vector made them have a too blue color. The M6 was much better and the x990 was like daylight.
The Vector is no maxabeam, but it is a less than 50$ rechargeable that is brighter in total light output than an x10 dominator or an m6. That, my friends is something each of you can have in your car for those times you just need some more photons.

PS, I don't regret the x990 and am going to get a maxabeam. Now if I can just get a JOB!
