A thread I read through today (3:15 AM last night) made me wonder :thinking:

It's my HID spotlight and if I remember correctly it's a little over 3000 lumens.

I'm not sure which of mine is brightest, it's either a SF 9P with Neutral Moddoo Triple (1000 lumens) or the Maxabeam, which has a Ushio UXL75-XE bulb, which I believe does a little over 1000 lumens, although I have heard numbers up to 1800 lumens for a Maxabeam.

My brightest is a Z2 with a Malkoff M61W... the low end of the 200-400 lumen group.

Double XML set up each powered by approximately 2.2A (or more) on high. I'm guessing just over 1400 lumens

I only have Fenix Flashlights... So my brightest lights are the TK35 and TK41, both are about 800 lumens.
Good enough for me .

Fenix makes a great light! I have a TK45 beside the bed / TK41 in the office / TK15 in the car and a couple of others including a PD10 Titan. The TK41 has a very impressive throw!

Prolly my L2T with XM-L drop-in...very cool light. :thumbsup:
Of course there's my ancient $10 lead-acid powered Halogen spotlight, that only gets fired up every year or two just to see if it still works...VERY bright (not really a flashlight, but maybe my brightest?), but crappy beam. :shrug:

Wow. I'm outgunned in this thread - brightest I have is my Zebralight SC600, which measures 738 lumen in my sphere on turbo. For my needs, it's BRIGHTER than required...my favorite "high" lumen lights are my McGizmo 6V Haiku XML and 6V Makai XML - both measure right at 370 lumen, and that Makai has the best 'throwy' beam I've ever seen, bar none.
65W HID, claims 6600Lm. It might not quite be that but won't be far off.
To be honest this is not a practical light and has little practical use as it is way too bright to use on anything within 30m of you.
Of course it is fun to use

Polarion Helios PH-40 40 watt HID - about 4200lm
Never selling this. The beam is perfect, the CCT of it as well, and of course the HID throw and immense power is astounding. Polarion's 'instant strike and restrike' lets me use this light as if it was an LED, without the usual HID user unfriendliness. Fantastic build quality. Great li-ion battery and charging system. Waterproof. Magnetic switch.
Okay, fine, so I don't actually have a practical use for this.. But look how much I care? :nana:
