Other than the SRK, I think the Terminator is one of the best deals out there. I have the U2 version, and it’s an elegantly designed, nicely constructed light. The permanently attached handle and clunky UI may bother some, but I still like it a lot. The kinda bright switch led is another possible design issue, but that’s really an individual preference.
And I paid a lot more than what doingoutdoor.com is selling it for!

I know how you feel, I too want two more terminators and mount them together to make a handheld 12000 lumens sun. Any ideas on how to mount 4 together?
Glad to see that you share same idea with me, now I know I am not crazy alone.
Many arrangement can be done, I imagine them in my brain, sometimes make me difficult to fall asleep.
I think of using magnet, or let machine shop to machine an adapter (wonder what will be the cost).
If getting more crazy will be modifying individual Terminator to arrange all their buttons at one same location. But then they will not be able to be used individually.
The look of this Terminator light, reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ‘Commando’ movie; wherein he fired a four-barreled rocket launcher (forgot its name :~ ). Anyway, great review JohnnyMac. It’s nice that you give details about its specs.
I was thinking about just strapping them to a block of wood and going on my merry way, simple, cheap and easy to take apart. Yeah! modding the buttons would mean that you would loose the versatility of using them individually.
Not sure where you got that but one terminator loaded with batteries would just weigh about 590-600 grams. So that’s just 2.4 kgs for all four. Not really that heavy if you ask me.
I wish to design a piece of aluminium that hold them together, and that piece of aluminium is not visible easily so that I see 4 Terminator most of the time. Using wood is good solution, just that I am afraid it might not look so nice cosmetically.
Oh… I’m not really worried about cosmetics since I don’t plan on having all 4 mounted all the time. Also, I doubt anyone would be able to see that block of wood when in use, all they will be seeing are spots and will be cursing for a few minutes.
I’m not too great with DIY, might cost me more than 4 terminators if I tried to do that. Remember I would also need to purchase all those electronics doodas and that costs money.
Does anyone know of a holster that’s a good fit for a Terminator?
I’ve got Tm11 scribbled on my pad here, but I thought that was a 3 cell one?.. and maybe not a very good fit. I might be confusing my scribblings with another torch I had my eye on.
The problem is, that I generally do torch purchases when the beer is out… memories get hazy lol
