Tis called the '35W HID Spotlight', and it has a 4400mah 11.1v Li-ion battery.


and it runs for only 85 minutes, and weighs over two kilos.


It does kick out three and a half thousand lumens though...
BEHOLD!

no news on price yet, but it should be out either this month or next month, according to G&P. Fire-support says they'll be able to get them in stock.

Also, for the fans of the R500, but want a little longer bulb life, the C3, and C3S! like the R500, but with three 'CREE' LED's, whatever they are.
same overall shape/size of the R500 M, which is nice.




so... who wants?

Make a great addition to anyone's field kitchen.

Sweet mother of God!! A flashlight with a rail!

Must get.

[The Big Bad]

what the *beep* are you going to put on that rail

[lord_marmite]

Gone are the days when you attached torches to guns, now you attach guns to torches, its the way forward

[maccrage]

*fruitcage* that. Add another light.

I am definitely getting one.

torch /m203 combo ftw!!
Melt your target then shoot him

Get a Rail-Rail adaptor and attach another torch.

Hell, two of them together - on a tripod. You could disrupt low flying aircraft.

Lol, thats insane.
I wonder what price that beast is gonna demand, I might be tempted to waste cash on one for humour factor alone.

[maccrage]

I don't care how much it costs. It will be mine.

Cree LEDs!!! Depending on what the driver circuit and LED binning is in that R500 head you could get up to 630 lumens of white light!!

One of our teammates has built a custom LED taclight from two of those LEDs outputting an estimated 390 lumens and anyone that's been on the receiving end would agree that it's far more blinding than a scorpion. Just imagine what it would be like to look into 3 of them hehe.

[Tinkerton]

I reckon it'll be upwards of £100. but i want one anyway. Also, for the hardcore, you could use a rail - rail adaptor, and use it like a PEQ box. 4400mah ain't gonna be used up in a hurry....

[MDK_Marshal]

Put a big-arse visible laser onto the rail. Precision blindness

Not that I'd condone blinding anyone with this of course...

Maybe it's just be best to get a rail to rail adapter and the Glock AEP with scope rail?

[Shard]

Perhaps it could form a good in game objective - capture the cannon of light or something

[Tinkerton]

'destroy the search light' or so, yeah...

[Catman]

Can't use it over here on the Isle of Man, as our skimish site is on the coast. I'd get arrested for diverting ships

[Rob15]

Pfft, only 35W equiv and its that big....

[raggedyman]

huzzah for lighting overkill!! :-)

[Tinkerton]

just found a 10 million candle power torch on Ebay. Which d'you reckon would be brighter?

[tome]

35 watt HID would be very bright. It's not possible to compare lumens to candlepower so who knows - but i'd put my money on the HID

I sure hope they put a thick two planks thick lens on that thing. It would act as a BB super magnet the moment you turn it on.
