I'm thinking a headlamp would be more convenient (looks like he had to swing the axe or hammer while holding the light).
What would you take?
Bonus points if you can guess the BLF user that did it. 
For a billion dollar jewelry heist, I would bring two lights: a workhorse budget light for doing the nitty gritty job, and a trit encrusted titanium jewelry light for emergency backup.
If I were to do it again I would take IR headlamp + thrower together with matching goggles.
As you have to schlepp the loot on the way out, I would choose a light that self-destructs. Like an Imalent. Leaving no evidence. Maybe it burns the whole place down. Even less evidence.
For this kind of job I would take an $8 ebay chinese 5,000lm CREE zoomie and leave it on the scene.
Upon further investigation they would realize there is no way it was me. 
I'd take a Fenix Headlamp and a Surefire p60. You wouldn't want to risk your light breaking down during such high stress situations like this . why would anyone risk their lives with budget junk lights ..
"Over spend ...on lights you must depend "
After the heist I'd buy a big house where we both could live
Before the heist a sofirn because they are cheap, then after go buy an olight because they are expensive!
I would bring the highest candela light I could find and mount it on a tripod. point it right at the security camera and get to work.
Just kidding, a good headlamp, definitely
