so tempting
especially the shorty:
if the OP wants more throw, consider the single LED FW1A
Zebralight SC600w IV Hi
Missed that somehow. The Manker MK36 is a wall of light flood. That is the opposite of what the OP is looking for.
I agree. If OP is willing to spend that kind of money on a single 18650, a ZL would be a solid choice.
I agree also, great option.
Ack, ok. I’d have to second the Convoy C8 then, or maybe a BLF Q8 (or the Sofirn Q8 flavor), if you’re ok with “soda can” lights…
Under 150? Wow, there are so many torches to choose from it would depend on your style needs and wants. For that price you could look at the nicer looking lights that Jetbeam, Acebeam, Emisar, Olight and Fenix have to offer. Single emitter multi emitter, for 150 you have some great choices 
Let use know what you decide on 
Finding Banksy for 150? Just kidding 
L90 looks nice. I wonder if something like VG-10 or tripple C8 would work, maybe C8F?
I dont have one, but Convoy M21B is something new?
I like the looks of these.
However what I care about also is putting out a lot of light at a steady pace. Ideally 900+ lumens for a minimum of 1.5 hrs.
The VG 10 and C8 look wise are what I prefer however as long as it’s not a “soda can” I really have no preference.
If I had to say what I want looks wise the tactical would probably be it. Or tacticool as I used to call it. I carry a lot of knives. Generally microtechs so I’d like to see something match that kinda theme
There have been a lot of great suggestions on here and I’m still sorting through them.
I’ll look into this
Jetbeam, Acebeam, Emisar, Olight and Fenix
What are their best offerings?
If the budget is under $150, you could get something as nice as the Zebralight SC700d (or the floody version, but personally I would just use some DC-Fix or similar on the regular one). Those are only $119. I don’t think you are going to get a more efficient, reliable, versatile light, in that price range. The extra $30 could get you a couple of Samsung 50E batteries (5000 mAh) and a charger.
It will easily sustain 900 lumens (more with minimal cooling/holding in hand) for over 2 hours.
If you need 900 lumen for hours, you need BIG flashlight for heat dissipation and BIG battery min. 3x18650 for more power and boost or buck circuit driver for efficiency.
I’m starting to notice that
I’m just really confused that my Bolder could put out 900 and some of these higher end offerings can only do like 750 for 1.5 hrs.
Is that because they have more throw?
I mean brightness wise all I know to go by is lumens what are some things I should be looking for?
Maybe that’d help me sort though these without just focusing on that one factor
You believe in everything whats written on Chinese package ? ;))
Well said.
Way too big

Here are a few suggestions. Mind you these aren’t the best prices you can get. These are just product pages from Ali
Edit: These are all multi cell lights. You wanted heat management with around 1k lumens, these are what I could .the one with the MT-G2 LED is the smallest and creamiest tint.
By jones I think you’ve done it!
That is the type I’m looking for
Anything else like this for variety sake?
