What would be the brightest LED weapon light on the market?

 Thanks

Brightest as in widest beam or furthest throw?  The highest lumen output will be about half the range/throw of weaponlights with less output.

So far I have not seen anything that I like better than the Gladius.

I  don't know what the bightest one is but you could build a Surefire weapon LED light that puts out 100 lumens for an hour.  You need a weapon light body like a MH-90, KL5 LED head and whatever tail cap you want.  It would be well over $200and probably close to $300 to build but it would be a very nice light.  I have the idea because that's what I'm doing.

I know the Inova T-5 is 100 lumens with a 3 hour burn time I believe. I've seen a T3 and it was pretty nice and that is around 85 lumens. The T5 is also weapons mountable. The T5 is way cheaper than a Surefire. Here it is:

Top LED contenders for long gun use are:

NightOps Gladius
Pentagon L2
Streamlight TLR-1
Surefire L5 & L6 (or KL5/KL6 buildups)

The Inova's are good lights but the only issue I have is the lack of flood. They have a tight focus which provides greater range but a bit more flood is definetly desirable.
