I have a question for someone who knows all the Flashlights out there.
What is the brightest and smallest flashlight you can buy.
1. Smallest first Brightness second
2. No waiting list
3. Already assembled
4. Can simply purchase and use
5. Cannot be Radioactive or have a dipolar antenna where the aliens can track you when it is in your pocket. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The Aleph System is a custom light, but the Sandwich Shoppe has pre-assembled (what we call TK, or Turnkey configurations - just like a car, turn the key, or press the switch and it's ready to go just like that) configurations.

750mA fed to a Luxeon 3 from a single CR123 - probably doesn't get much brighter than that.

There is the Aleph FAQ (one of the topmost threads) in the McGizmo forum. It is a lot of reading and you won't get 'in a nutshell' specs like flashlight manufacturers do, but that's both the good and bad of owning a custom light. You'll have to pick apart the details that the Shoppe gives and match them with the FAQ.

Bottom line is.. I doubt there's anything more powerful that runs off a 1x123 battery config. 2x123 yes, but that would increase the length.
