Does it work? Does it actually put out near 8,000 lumens? Have you compared it? It’s listed on Interstate https://products.interstatebatteries.co ... il/LIG6100No real info. Your Amazon listing has more info. 2 modes but doesn’t tell how long at 8,000 or 3,000??? Doesn’t pass the sniff test online. Found one review on this light. https://youtu.be/fPYw28fQ-cY?si=qhRqdllwQa_X0XN1At the 7:30 mark They paid $95 in 2022

Yes, I bought it because TTC did that test, and yes, it's insanely bright. It's pretty floody, but it's my 'fuck you in particular' light that stays in my car door pocket since I don't have a spotlight mounted. I have not tested runtime, but I'd probably say about 30-45 mins on high. It will auto dim from high to low when battery is below 30% or so. Attachment: 2024-04-05_142028.png

You know they didn't build that flashlight. They probably still make that light.

I actually spent a couple hours trying to source who made it for them, but couldn't find anything similar with similar specs. I did find the replacement batteries, but the light itself was a dead end. I did find similar Chinese made ones, but the specs were so across the board that I wouldn't want to purchase one without verifying it's the same configuration. That kinda light output for that price was a smack in the face to me.... I'm sure there are other options out there right now, but I haven't looked, to be honest.

Call CSR Marine in Des Moines, they might know. If you go to Interstate’s website, all they say is that they have flashlights for all needs, tactical, home, etc., and they recommend that you stop by a licensed dealer to look. CSR Marine is a licensed dealer. Worth a shot for spits & giggles…
