I have not seen it, but it looks like a Euro version of a SureFire which is probably used to illuminate more bad guys here in the US than any other brand. http://www.surefire.com/product/fury-models.htmlMSRP...lower prices can be found elsewhere.

I have two weapons mounted lights with the Cree Q5 led in them and you can feel the heat when the light up, nicest weapons lights I have ever used!
This looks pretty sweet.

I have a "Surefire" addiction, consists of 5 flashlights, and a x-400 rail light on my G23.

I have flashlights ranging in size from keychain to the Maglite combination flashlight/billy club. Add a few headlamps and lanterns to the mix and I have so many flashlight lumens I could have lit up the Super Bowl when the lights went out. What I don't have is a flashlight with a regulative microprocessor controller unit, so I'm almost positive I'll be forced into getting one of those Heider lights to add to my collection. Damn you.. You need to dump the maglite and go Hi tech. My little 4" Surefire is more powerful than the largest maglite made. You're welcome.

I use my MT 225 lumens for crabbing the beaches at night..way better than a lantern.

Why shoot the phugger if you don't have to? If you had a Maglite you could knock his ass out. WTH you think Louisville sluggers are for? Baseball?

That sounds about right for my brightest one, depending if I have the 125 or 225 bulb in. The other ones runs for hours and hours.

Gawd Damn! 5-10 minute burn time??? AYFKM?? OTOH, the operating voltage is definitely doable off a 12v charging system as a remote battery source. But Really! The whole thing is crazy!

Sure fire Scorpian is my oldest one. Solid light. Had it 5 years.
For a cheap light, I found some Rayovac armored flashlights for $15 at Home Depot. 100 lumens and they run on AA's, which is good.

Let us know what you think of it. Interesting they don't list the lumen rating?? Got it today. Charger is for something other than standard 110 volt plug-in...has two "prongs" and says 100-240v. Flashlight is cool, very small and bright (sheet says 260 lumens tops....someone asked). Has strobe and dim feature and somewhat adjustable beam.....will see more about that tonight. I've got to find a charger adapter.......must have one around here somewhere. I'd wait if I could do it over.

That's a buzz-kill. Mebbe Radio Shack (or similar) has an adapter.

They may. Most Euro stuff is 240.
Ask for a traveler's adapter kit. Airports have them.

got one at Radio Shack, but in order to get to 240 v have to get converter as well. The flashlight is cool with regular rechargeable AA's, but not quite as powerful. I figured out that my dog fence batteries and their charger will work just fine! LOL perfect!
