Pre production sample [Review] Astrolux MF-01 4x18650 flashlight supplied by Banggood

I will try to help you understand a bit better. The very biggest lights, like Acebeam X65 and Imalent DX32 can only sustain 5,000 to 6,000 lumen continously. That is about the limit. A smaller light, like the MF01, might be able to sustain about 2,500 assuming it has a setting around there (it doesn’t) and it’s temperature protection circuitry is working properly.

If your looking for high continous output you need to use a light with a built in fan, but those are rare and expensive.

You can check my thread on actively cooled lights here.

As far as what’s currently on the market and is not overly big and heavy, the PowerTac X10 at $600-$700 might work. The Storm of Ra at $354 is a cheaper contender.
