I would say there's no point to an M6 on LOLA. If you want 250 lumens, get a Tigerlight. Nobody (well, almost nobody) spends 450 AUD or 300 USD on a flashlight for practical or functional reasons. It's all about HOLA, and if you have to ask how much the batteries cost, you can't afford it. If all you want is pure lumens, the suggestion of a $15 spotlight is completely correct, the spotlight will do the job just as well, just like a $10 kitchen knife will slice carrots just as well as a $300 Sebenza. The M6 is like a Sebenza, a flashlight taken to a new level of precision and artistry, and one buys it for that reason, not because it does anything other lights can't do with less panache.
Jtice asks what other light can be compared. Aside from the obvious SF 10X, I'd say the M6 beam is almost like a theatrical spotlight, round (more or less), even, and wide. It is not a "throw monster". It has pretty good throw by virtue of its brute power, but its wide beam means it can't reach as far as some other lights with less total output might be able to.
If you really do have a practical use for a handheld light this powerful, look into a 10X, which is equally bright, but compared with the M6, the 10X seems like some kludge made of vacuum cleaner parts. Al's description is exactly right, the M6 is the king of flashlights. So of course it has a royal price tag.
