kind of a long shot maybe but does anyone have any experience with them? in particular im looking at getting the Olight X7 Marauder. I think it would be great for night fishing in the boat and for the deer shack. overkill? absolutely, but it looks pretty cool. Ive seen they are coming out with an Olight X9 Marauder that features 25,000 Lumen. That’s nuts

Holly balls. 9000 lumens on th x7 and 25000 on the x9. I have a cheepo from Walmart that’s 900 lumens. Its almost dangerous. Like a gun…always point in a safe direction. I can’t imagine 9k or 25 k. Seems like overkill…I want one

______________InactiveMN - 55082Posts: 1644March 3, 2017 at 8:47 am #1678458I have a Fenix bike light that does 30 seconds at 1850lumens, it get hot as heck quick. I use it as a hand warmer while ice fishing. I can’t imagine the heat generated @ 25000.
I want one too! Integrated modular fan that is easily replaced allows 5 minutes @ 25000 lumen. It can also be used as a power supply! The 2017 x7 is now @ 12000 lumen, that might be enough?
Anyone know the msrp?
nhammInactiveRobbinsdalePosts: 7348March 3, 2017 at 9:02 am #1678461$200 for a flashlight, wow. Done plenty of fishing at night on the river and cant think of too many times wish I had more light with just a regular ol cheap spotlight.
Can buy a light bar for front of boat, 4 new headlamps, year supply of batteries for em all and still come under $200.
But maybe your afraid of the dark for than me

When I have questions about flashlights and small batteries I usually check caandlepowerforum.com.
Here’s a thread on some AA flashlights that’s pretty informative.
