I did some tests a while back comparing a lightforce with HID conversion unit (China) against the Maxtoch 2X TeRei mentions. Result: Lightforce HID modded unit about 235,000 lux, and Maxtoch dedomed model 2X 290,000-300,000. This equates to 970m maximum range and 1080m for the Maxtoch 2X (down to equivalent of full moonlight on target). Some of the big new HIDs are alot more powerful but the Maxtoch LEDs are up with some HIDs now.

The Maxtoch M24 mentioned above runs at around 220,000 lux or 940m. Range finder tests for this model type showed max for big animal bodies (not eyes) to round about 450-500m in perfect conditions - naked eye. 2X is further.

But....if you can be patient gadgetman and I and some other kiwi boys are just completing the specs with Maxtoch for a new very high performance model. It is a lightweight model 2X and runs at a huge 370,000 lux. Runs on just two 18650 batts, and can be used both scope mounted or as handheld spottie at just 308 gms. We have tested this in the field and it is an absolute beauty - good light on hills a kilometer away and stumping power in the 0-400m normal shooting range. All the spare batts you need for a nite shooting fit into your shirt pocket.

We have another high performance model too that may come out - 300,000+ lux from the smaller Maxtoch M24. Gadget and I modded both od these lights considerably from the original prototypes and we have them where we want them. Production details should be clear in couple of weeks.
