maybe this?
Nope. The one in PK's right hand (i.e. on the left side in the picture) is the HID "Beast". Several were made and one of them ended up getting sold to someone through the Strategos forum. The selling price was undisclosed but apparently it was enough to buy a rather nice car with. Someone else here can probably refresh the details.

If you'd strictly mean flashlight, then i'd say Surefire M6, well atleast commercially produced.

The 10X has higher output then the M6 in a flashlight body.
Well what about the NightHunter II. That has a flashlight body.
BTW, the Beasts proto-types in the photos above are years out of date.
This was a Beast in Feb2004:

Yes quite expensive indeed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
There is allso a rechargable version, wich is called Hellfire if i remember correctly.
Btw made a little mistake, the beast runs for about 80 mines according to a picture i'm watching right now.

There were rechargeable versions in proto-type called the HellFire. I have only seen Beasts powered by SF123As in the last year or so.
SF123As are cheap at $1.25 each.
I'm not sure what picture you're watching StEaLtH - Care to share with us?
The Beasts get very hot. I would guess you could fry an egg on the lens...

Al,
Will ever be possible to buy a SF Beast? Or it is possible by mean of a special order to SF?
Thanks

I can't say never since it's not for me to decide. However, I doubt it.

I see the Feb 2004 pic shows a Beast with the crenellated bezel.. to allow you to see that you left the light on, I suppose before it burns a hole through the table and falls on the ground /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

StEaLtH_,
That's years out of date. Best ignore everything about the Beast you can read in the SureFire Catalogs.
