Does sound like a pretty good Torch although I'm not actually sure myself how bright that is. Sounds like the kind of item that would be invaluable in a power failure or similar though. You may want a larger more powerful battery powered one as well though depending on the situation.

Thinkgeek always does have some cool gadgets.

Got an Inova 6V. 115lumens is perfect, carbon fiber barrel is lightweight, 2 Cr123 lithiums ran me for five solid hours in an underground tunnel with barely any noticeable drop in brightness. all you would need then is a lanyard and one more pair of lithiums in your pocket.

Okay so I'll be looking into the surefire and the inova mentioned earlier. Thanks for the input!

What caught my eye about the light I linked was the ten second recharge time. I figured if I was in a car or on a generator I wouldn't want to have to have the extra time running it just to recharge batteries if it came down to that.

I agree with Guppy I wouldn't necessarily call it a "tactical" flashlight. Too big and the switch position wouldn't work well for a tactical implementation.

But it's still cool as hell! 90 second recharge time for 60 minutes of light is AMAZING!

90 lumen "normal" mode is pretty bright -- for reference, a 4-D Maglight puts out about 120 lumens. 270-lumen "high" mode is REALLY bright.

I'd be curious what the beam pattern is like. Every flashlight I've ever seen with multiple LED's has a really crappy beam, not very concentrated and the light disperses quickly. Another reason why this probably wouldn't make a good "tactical" light.

Price is pretty steep but to be expected with newer technology. Will be interesting to see if other well-known taclite manufacturers (Surefire, Nitecore, etc) start developing similar products
