"The Beast is the most powerful flashlight SureFire has ever produced for civilian sale. Utilizing a xenon-fill high-intensity discharge (HID) arc lamp, it puts out 2000 lumens of blinding white light...."


Now THAT will light up your car door so you can unlock it.

There was a thread on the Asian forum on this light. I remember the picture. It's like holding a light saber.

No doubt. I just hope it won't fade the paint.

$2900!

No.

That must be an error. Maybe -- just maybe -- $290. But not $2900.

2000 Lumens just ain't that much.

For $1500, I can buy a very nice InFocus LightPro 640 that produces 2200 Lumens and weighs less than that flashlight. Now, the LightPro 640 doesn't run off of batteries, true. But then again, the flashlight doesn't form its 2000 lumens into a XGA projected image either.

There's just no way a flashlight can cost $2900.

I'm envisioning some pot-farmer holding this thing over his crops when the power goes out.

On a side note, I never knew Sure-Fire made knives or suppressors.

Yup, it's $2900.

I have a 1st get rechargeable version called the Hellfire. It's bright, but also VERY heavy, and VERY big.

SF has branched into knives, supressors and earpieces for two-way radios (buying out Earpro).
