I carry around a $120 flashlight in my pocket daily. You can be damn sure I wouldn't pick this thing up without knowing what it's worth.
Now that I'm done ranting... A CPF review
[www.candlepowerforums.com]
The capacitor system is really the cool part of the whole deal. The flashlight itself kind of sucks in my opinion due to the fact that you cannot carry an extra power source for it. If it's dead in the field, it's dead in the field.

you could rig up something with 9 AA batteries and push it through the 12V jack.

Someone needs to rip the guts out of that that thing in put it in a Mag.
And why is it we don't have a live chat room?

Besides, I want the one that illuminates like the sun itself and burns anything left in its rays for more than a few seconds.

I'm currently using Energizer's Hard Case Professional LED lantern. Outputs 110 lumens (for that bright ass, X-Files flashlight effect) for ~50 hours, is free-standing in two positions, water resistant, has a shatter proof lens shielding the bulb, and is rugged enough to survive a 30ft drop.
My other LED flashlight, is the head-mounted unit from the same Energizer Hard Case line. My head-mounted unit outputs 100 lumens for 15 hours (almost double that if I use lithium batteries), is water-resistant, can survive a 15ft drop, tilts, has four lighting modes (high and low white, red beam for night vision, and green), and finally offers the option for defuse or spot lighting.
I caught them both on sale for under $30 each, about 18 months ago from Home Depot. And quite frankly, unless they come up with di-lithium/anti-matter powered flashlights, these are very likely the last torches I will ever have to buy. Spending $170 to get goodness like this, is folly.

They do not look as sleek or sexy as the 5.11 Tactical Series UC3.400 flashlight, however they do deliver the goods - days worth of bright light. Not to mention, with the exception of the 90 second recharge thing, they outperform the 5.11 Tactical Series UC3.400 flashlight in almost every way imaginable - including the most important spec, price.
