Not quite 1000 lumens, but lots of battery configs and you can get either CW or NW.
SD10 is one of the world’s smallest, lightest and brightest 32650 searchlight. It is compatible with a wide range of batteries through intelligent control, and thus it has different outputs based on different battery types. It ensures not only enough brightness but also product stability and long runtime. With premium CREE XM-L2 T6 LED, its output reaches up to 800 lumens.

If I am not too late at this, Your friend may want to take a look at the Streamlight Propolymer 4AA model; there are two models, one with a single LED,and the other, with multiple. They both have a good reputation for light production, long run time, and are industrial rated. (I think)
The single LED is the thrower, and the multiple LED one is floody, so I hear. Rugged and inexpen$ive. (This is the Budget Light Forum, right? He could buy about two of them for the price of another light.
Probably too late now but it seems most of the 4AA lights seem to feature more throw than flood.
If you like, I have some diffusing film (designed for office windows) which I've fitted to a couple of torches for use as bike lights. It's probably not DC-Fix quality but it seems to work OK. I don't have a proper way of testing for transmission losses.
I'd be happy to cut a bit off and post it to you if you want to try it.
Yep, that’s when I was on CPF a lot. I kinda doubt it’s changed…it wasn’t broke, so, Streamlight didn’t fix it! I was about ready to buy one, then I got a deal on a $25 Jetbeam PA40, :bigsmile: and didn’t need it any more. Buuuut….maybe I could use just one more light! :8) Honest, I can quit whenever I want to!
