Pretty unique design. Looks like the 9 XM-L2s are sitting behind aspheric optics with the 4 IR emitters in the recesses between.
9x 18650 per battery pack - that's a heavy weight for sure.

first post updated, added new photos and name will be Raytheon (not Ratheyon)

Biggest anti-roll feature ever
Although it's big, it is a cool light

That would be my ideal edc light, but they neglected to put a decent pocket clip on it. What were they thinking? :laughing:

Don't forget: Remove the carrying handle; hold it without the handle, so that way, you can tell by feel if it is getting too hot.

its a monstrosity !!!

You'd need one heck of a belt to holster that bad boy

The consumer demands, smaller, brighter lights. This is definitely the opposite. But still worth looking at and possibly purchasing.

Looks like you could just take off the handle and dual-sided rail adapter and pop it right on. Imagine that thing hanging underneath the barrel of your AR-15. Probably zero recoil, but you'd only be able to shoulder it for 2 seconds before your arms gave out. :laughing:

Damn!
Surefire Hellfighter killer?

So it actually is designed with weapon mounting in mind (albeit not the shoulder-fired type I joked about above :laughing. Interesting. 2500 meter throw is just awesome. Thanks for the updates.
