As the title says I wonder what the brightest 14500 X 1 clicky flashlight is?
I don't care about regulation. I like the Quark Mini precisely because it goes into DD on a Li Ion cell and puts out a LOT of light. I believe it is over 250 lumens OTF. I'm not worried about losing output over time because the light would seldom be on for more than a minute. It would get too hot.
So my needs are:
There may very well be no such flashlight because I have searched without success but I want one if there is!

So my needs are:
Production flashlight not a clicky from one brand added on to a twisty of another brand or any other mod.
Single 14500 flashlight
Must have clicky
Must be XP-G R5 or R4 driven over 1.2 amps at the tailcap on 14500
Must retain some sort of lower mode (for runtime) and a very high output max mode (for short bursts - I know it will heat up very quickly).
Prefer no strobe or hidden strobe but not a deal-breaker.
Runtime not a priority.
