You could build something like this for the price of one Terminator… 15,000 Lumen Bridgelux C9000 Light Engine
I am at the moment application level, can’t find time and energy to do DIY. I am sure I will face a lot of failure if I can ever make a 15000 lumens light myself. Thanks for the link though, you are definitely expert designer of lighting instruments.
Thanks very much! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.
Excellent review. Props! Bumping because this is shamefully on Page 3. 
Thanks, Joe! :8)
I sure wish this didn’t have the handle…
My exact same thought when I first saw this! Could this be used without a handle?
Other than the handle, I think this is a great light having a great review!
I just got this light the other day and I loooove it! Gorgeous. I don’t even touch my TK75.
Oh come on now.
Hahah I was a bit over the top. I just haven’t had time to play with the TK75 outside. Can’t wait for that! I am sure that will change everything. For now, I just love the looks and quality of the terminator but both are equally great.
I’m sure it’s a heck of a light, but I was just gonna say the way you stated that earlier would mean it would beat the TK75 in all aspects including throw. And we know that ain’t right.
Oh heck no haha. TK hands down! Love that TK but I haven’t been able to unleash its true power yet lol. Something about the quality and aesthetics of the terminator is just a bit more attractive to me. And the size. It is absolutely tiny for the output.
The tables may turn when I get to turn they TK onto turbo in the great outdoors!
You guys should try with 2x Terminator outputing 5000 lumens. I attached them together thought just for experiment, but 10 days ago until now I don’t want to take them apart. No more darkness in front of 2x Terminator.

ERMAHGERD.
Is the Terminator available in XM-L2 or is the U3 version the brightest as of now?
the u3 is the brightest… i messaged blackshadows rep on CPF and they said there are no plans for an XML2… so if you are planning on ordering a U3 is the brightest option
U3 is the latest. I got two U2 version though, don’t care much among U2 and U3 or XML2.
I think if one got a 5000 lumens light, one better get 10000 lumens light if want to see the differences. So between U2, U3 or XML2, they are not much differences to our eyes except maybe light meter.
Thanks for the quick replies guys! So I have to decide on the U3 Terminator or wait for a multi (4+) XM-L2 version from another manufacturer.
Very cool! Not real practical, but cool none the less.
Because they have two handles, one of the way I hold them is on the top of my head. I can also hold them with single handle just like the picture.
This configuration makes me not considering Olight X6 and Klarus RS80 as strong as before because they are quite similar to me, or I am afraid I will not be amazed anymore by X6 or RS80.
I think it will be practical if one knows the limitation of their flashlights. Or one really needs 5000+ lumens and above, and this is cheaper way to achieve it with branded LED flashlight and quite portable with its size and handles.
