The only reason that I wouldn't give it a 5 star is that I am not sure about the light output rating. I also have the Model with only 3 T6 LEDs but if I compare, yes it is brighter but I don't think it is 3X brighter. The light has a much broader coverage area as compared to my 3LED model but certainly not 3X longer distance. I would say that most observers would estimate it is about double the light of the 3 T6 model. Quite large at 12.5 inches long and 3" across at the head. Also heavy at just under 2Lbs with 3 26650 batteries installed. Could easily double as an Night Stick.
Take note that this doesn't include the batteries (3 X 26650 batteries cost me $32.00 and the charger another $14.00.) to to get set up with rechargeable batteries and a charger made the total $130.00
Don't try to get away with 18650 batteries, mine fit but if they weren't 100% charged the wouldn't stay on the Brightest light for very long.

First of all this light is not even near 11,000 lumens. The driver (circuit) is a mere 25 watts, meaning the output is in the range of
2200 Lumens. In order to get the full output of approximately 5400 Lumens the circuit must be upgraded to 90 Watts (10 watts per.
led), which can be ordered from Kaydomain.com.
Then you must do some customizing to the flashlight to be able to fit 425500 batteries with the included extension tube.
I have finished this task and according to my lux meter (and visual verification!) output has increased dramatically.
The circuit that I ordered has 5 output levels: 10-30-50-75and 100% (full output),which gives you better output and choices than the original one. Keep in mind that this circuit compensates output depending on heat levels (which is a good thing). If for example you are indoors at a room temperature of 75 degrees and leave it on at 75% or 100% output, the circuit will bring the output to 50% in order to protect itself and LED's. Now, if you happen to be outdoors and is a little windy and/or cooler the output will remain higher depending on the particular conditions. All in all for you guys that haven't modified this baby;you haven't seen nothing yet :).
Best Deals for 9 x CREE XM-L T6 LED Flashlight 11000 Lumen Super Bright 18650
bright but very poorly made I cant use the extension on the end because the batteries jam up it is not 11000 lumen that is a lye its not even 6000 lumen this is false. The bottom line is you get what you pay for. This is not a deal after all. I would not recommend at all the batteries that I purchased with it do not hold a charge for even 30 minutes of use it really is a big piece of junk.
Honest reviews on 9 x CREE XM-L T6 LED Flashlight 11000 Lumen Super Bright 18650
My item arrived 2-days ago, which was 1 month before the shipping deadline. Im using four 26650 King Kong 4,300mah Lithium Ion batteries. I assure even the pickiest of critics out their, this is the BRIGHTEST flashlight I ever witnessed or seen reviewed to date! I own the 15,000,000 candle power light from Costco, and it doesn't even come close to my new TrustFire model AK-47 which uses 9 Cree XM-L T6 LED's and claiming to push out over 11,000 lumens of light. I'll be getting the TrustFire K48 13,000 lumen one soon. Then, if I'm lucky and fortunate enough, I'd love to get my hands on the 4 Sevens 18,000 lumen which incorporates 18 XM-L T6 Cree LED lights and would be ecstatic to perform a thorough and in-depth review, which would most certainly incorporate about 50+ hours of testing and tedious information gathering. Im very impressed with the quality of manufacturing and the looks and feel of this torch. I believe it's one of the coolest and most durable flashlights on the world market today! You must look, hold and analyze one of these beauties in order to truly understand my shared enthusiasm and unique and almost hypnotic feeling one gets when admiring one. I remember when I bought the 3 package Cree LED-200 lumen Costco flashlights a few years ago. I thought those were some of the brightest and coolest flashlights around. Wow, how naive and out of tune with the LED world I was. As a friendly reminder, describing the lumen and brightens thing is a confusing one at best, until you do the research and find the accurately reported information regarding their differences yourself. Here are a few links to some info regarding lumens etc. and . This insane intense light will in-fact cause retinal damage to the eye, so be smart and don't ever look at the light while its on. If I had money, I'd be betting the farm on Cree regarding their huge role in lighting up the world for the future.
Sincerely,
Nathan
