If you mean lumens, I know Wayne of ElektroLumens offers the Bruiser 9000 which is an absolute beast of a light. In my emails with him he said that he could do a 12000 lumen one also. Maybe check him out he is on the CPFM.

So do you just want to give somebody money to build their own light? Or do you want them to build it and you own it afterwards?

Buy a Maelstrom XM18, send it to Vinh and have him replace the XM-Ls with XM-L2s. You'll be over 16K lumens.

I think what we have here is somebody who is simply filthy rich and wants a fun project. If u think about it rich/famous people splurge on everything so why not flashlights? They have $10,000 blenders, watches, coffee makers, you name it. Perhaps just upgrading LEDs on an already designed production light is considered boring for soraxd. I think you should ask Vestureofblood. I asked him once about designing a ridiculous custom multi LED flood light from scratch and he was all for it. If money is no limit he would make a real monster

I'll sell you this one...
This is the Elektro Lumens Kong-12-XML, designed and manufactured by Wayne Johnson.
Kong-12-XML has twelve Cree XML LEDs attached to a large aluminum heat sink, and mounted in the flashlight.
Kong-12-XML is powered from twelve 18650 Li-Ion batteries.
The batteries are arranged in three banks of four (series of four batteries). The 3 banks of four batteries power the twelve XML batteries, which are also wired in three banks of four.
The voltage is a nominal 16.8V, and I use a small amount of resistance to keep the power level at around 3A per bank, a total of 9 amps of power, or, around 151 watts of power.
Each LED is putting out around 1,000 lumens, for a total brightness on high power of around 12,000 lumens! For a brightness comparison, a European standard HID headlight is 2,200 lumens.
The beam is around 8 degrees, not a pencil beam but not a flood beam either, and there is a lot of side spill.
And here is a link to a YouTube Video describing this flashlight a bit.

Personally, I think mash.m is your man. Amazing skills and ingenuity and really likes to push the boat out in his designs. Do a search for his projects, they're very impressive.
I've just bought a Black Bullet from him which he measured at over 1 million cds (lux per metre) which makes it the furthest throwing led light to date. :thumbsup:
