    Not to me. I can't imagine (for my needs) a flashlight over $100, and even that is sketchy.

    Someone will chime in with 'value is in the eye of the buyer' and 'if you can afford it, why not?'

    While I understand the first response, it doesn't mean that buyer has good judgement. (me included, more than I'd like to admit)

    And to the second response I say I rather buy someone in deserving need a month's worth of groceries than a flashlight that I'd fret about losing or breaking.

    There are companies out there like Nitecore that make lights that produce well over 3,000 lumens for a fraction of the cost. They aren’t tactical, but it’s still a flashlight.

    I have several older Nitecore products and love them. A lot of their newer stuff is marketed tactical to. All at a tenth of the cost

    I have the "big daddy" made by nebo... it was only 50 bucks and is crazy bright... i dont think I could justify over 1000 for a flash light...

    2000 lumens vs 2400 lumens isn't worth the grand in difference

    Agreed, actually I found one by Fenix with 5100 lumens. I already have their 1000 lumen. Looks good and relatively affordable.

    I know I am a little late to the party but I would suggest the Fenix RC40. I will say that it is a BEAST. It puts out a max of 6000 lumens, but has different lighting levels depending on what you need, and also has a strobe feature. It comes with a USB port to charge your electronics. It comes with a hard case and vehicle charger as well. I bought one for my dad to check cows and loved it so much that I bought one. If you are Police/Fire/Paramedic/Military, go register on a site called ExpertVoice to get big discounts. I paid $304.00 dollars after the discount. I also own the PD35 1000 lumen and after using Fenix Lights, I will never go back to Surefire. I used a variety of Surefire lights while in the military and they are great, but you can't beat the price or quality of Fenix.

    Nice, I have one of the Fenix 1000 lumens version. Great lights and affordable for the output.

    I’ve been looking at this, 5100 lumens and about $250

    No. But it takes a variety of batteries from the CR123s to rechargeable 18650s. Check out that link I posted.
