It looks a lot like the Microfire Samurai-III only it's a lot cheaper.

It looks okay but i probably wouldnt get it until there is is some more info.

If it does turn out to be good and puts out as much as they say it does it seems like an excellent deal.

Also lets hope they dont use a 7000k bulb like the microfire does, it has like the worst tint of any hid flashlight.

...lazer... ;D ;D ;D

HID's = expensive

To put in perspective though, 3500lm is like 4-5 P7's.... or 14 Q5's.... it's a lot of light, dude.

7000K is a blueish color tint and some people don't like it.

because 7000k isnt just bluish white its electric blue.

The color makes everything look messed up.

OH I much prefer a white flashlight than anything yellow or blue. I really like cool white or stark white.
