Ohhh yes yes... lol... will add right away!

Thanks mate =]

Goodness, man, where, oh where is the Maxabeam and that other one...the one that looks sort of like a gun and comes in 75 and 125 Watt flavors? A moment of CRS! What about the tank lights? What about the 60" carbon arc? That's just off the top of my head.

And to follow the guidelines in your post, no LED light should be listed. There is no comparison in the throw category btw LED and HID. LED's don't hold a candle to any "most powerful" HID.

Also, I assume the order you list them in is not in order of most powerful and big throw.

and don't forget the Mag mods..

Thanks for the list.

Are there reviews anywhere for
75W HID XENON BY QP STORE
7,500 lumens RRP $175 ??

Here is a link where to buy
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-upgraded-75W-HID-XENON-FLASHLIGHT-SPOTLIGHT-7800mAH-/300599700579
and I think you have to google 75W HID XENON for reviews (Ebay and alibaba sell them) .....ps I have one and yes it is cool

Well, the SureFire HellFighter would probably make this list, I would imagine ...

EDIT: And some of the custom throwers made by ma_sha1 too !

THE MEGARAY MR2000 11,000,000 CANDELLA @ 3,000 METERS

Is "The Torch" by wicked lasers info real? I doubt it can even produce half of what is stated

Its real but also completely pointless. It seems to give off most of its energy as heat and can be used to fry eggs ... :/ a little cool but also pointless and not what you'd want in a hand held flashlight!

Yep! Can't believe I forgot its' name!

The latest Maxabeam is closer to 2000 Lumens.

Nice list, although the Mega Ray should be there.

I already have
-Polarion PH40
-Fenix TK70
-LedLenser X-21
-Lightforce Blitz 400W Mod
-LarryK 14

The To Get list
-Olight SR90 (or the new SR95)
-Maxabeam
-Obiwan Kenobi's Lightsaber (must invent first!!!)

Maxabeam is nowhere near 8000 lumens as listed by the OP
typically they are 1000ish lumens (for the older models) up to maybe 1500-2000 for the newest models.

My old Gen2 (with Ushio UXL75XE bulb mod) has done a properly tested 7.2 million candlepower - I haven't tested the Gen3 yet

A kit with battery is $2500 from brightguy (that's just light, battery, charger, battery cable and shoulder strap - adding anything to the package will make it cost more - options include hard case, mounts, longer powerlead, filters, extra batteries etc)


I think the newest Maxabeam still outshines the Megaray, but the Megaray has a bigger spot out in the distance (and is more useful) - pretty sure the MB still holds the title for longest throwing off the shelf light (it's also smaller than I expected, after handling things like the Thor)

Heres a pic of my Gen2 Maxabeam reaching out 1000m (0.62 miles) (I know I overuse this pic, but I can't think of any other way to show what the Maxabeam does



The Ryobi One+ Xenon light is also pretty good, should be around 3200 lumens, but with a "wall of light" type beam, that floods a wide area, but still reaches out pretty well
its also a good deal if you already have one+ batteries
