Moved this one over to the Flashlight Forum. I'm hoping somebody over here is BRIGHT enough (hehe) to tell us what it is.

(And why the hell it's worth $400!!)

That's a Surefire M6 Guardian incandescent.  There are two reasons that it is so expensive.  One is that it is a Surefire, and the quality of their products demands high prices.  The other, more important, reason is that it is a 500 lumen searchlight.  To put that into perspective, an average Luxeon III LED light that many of us are familiar with is in the range of 40-60 lumens, depending upon the power source.  A 3 D-cell Maglite outputs about 30 lumens.

Here is a link to the M6 on Surefire's website: http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/419/sesent/00

If you would like to see something even more impressive from Surefire, have a look here:
