What do you think of this light?

[scrappy]

I am thinking about buying this to replace the HID I got rid of. Anyone have any experience or input about these lights?

Looks interesting. Makes the 3 XML light I have coming look pathetic. 

I assume it should give 2000-3000 lumens if driven correctly

A bit pricey but it comes with the, needed, protected batteries.
Known "semi-brand"
Someone of the experts should be along with more soon...

if not, try Budgetlightforum

yes I saw some selling for 90 dollars but I don't have the batteries. with batteries the price is okay I think

I'm certainly no expert, but wouldn't those seven, quite shallow, reflectors give you quite a floody beam?  Very bright perhaps, but no exactly focused.  IIRC that's not what you want.

Someone else please feel free to tell me I'm totally wrong though.

Spot on.  It would throw a reasonable distance due to sheer brute force, but it would be a very broad beam.

Even if it could manage 8500 Lumens (try 5600 as a more realistic figure) It wouldn't do it for long. I'm sure there's not enough heatsinking there to manage 7 XM-L's at full belt.

That looks pretty wicked. I bet it could cook a hamburger in 30 secs.

Hmm... I'd definitely search for reviews before hitting the button on that one

I went to budget life forums as suggested and found some good information. The light does not have the proper driver. I passed and got some simpler lights to try out.
