considering the lights mentioned above ... which one has the following:
1) A very robust case (metal, or extremely strong polymer)
2) Gives a very bright light that will disorient you in the dark
3) Doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Just a leg, maybe :-)

thanks,

For just a leg, the FourSevens Maelstrom MMS has a max of 350 lumens out the front. It's a dual mode light with the user selecting the two output levels from a minimum of 1 lumen to a max of 350 lumen. By some standards, 350 lumens is fairly illuminating.

Other lights in the Maelstrom tactical series will go up to 1200 lumen, but those would cost you the arm too.
