I stumbled on this light on US Cavalary's website today in my internet searches. It boasts a 90 second (that's right, 1.5 minutes) recharge time, 270 lumen output. It's a bit pricey at $169, but for flashlight junkies for myself, that is definitely not out of reach.

They are marketing this light as one you will never throw away. It will be interesting to see if their claim holds up. They have a video explaining the light if you're interested.

Disclaimer: I am not associated with US Cavalry or 5.11 Tactical in any way. I just think this is a really cool light and an even more amazing advancement in technology!
