One of the comments was interesting:

"I am distributer for 5.11 Tactical in Greece. I 've seen the prototype and its awesome. It can reach 85% of its charge in only 60 secs. 100 lumens standard for about 1.5 hours and 270 lumens for a half an hour."

270 lumens for half an hour? I think I'll stick with LEDs and 18650s for the time being.
