1200 lumens may be the brightest thing out there.  https://www.olightstore.com/olight-pl-ii-valkyrie

The brightest I have is a Surefire X300 Ultra (600 lumens) and a couple Streamlight TLR2 G's (800 lumens, with green laser).

And this OLight is cheaper than both of them.  https://www.amazon.com/Olight-Valkyrie-Mounted-Pistol-Batteries/dp/B071ZN748G/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1545162133&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=olight+valkyrie+pl2&psc=1

It says Valkryie on one side, and even seems to have the Honda wing snuck in there.


I got a sale add email from AR15.com for $60, but it had already expired.  

I don't need another light right now, but I thought some might be interested.     (no affiliation/yada)

I did not do any research on their sturdiness/reliability (I never heard of them before).

Probably a poor choice to mount on your bike, but not bad on a pistol, carbine or shotgun.

Well now, I later spent a little time reading reviews (not all that many since it's newish) (on Amazon).

It seems that some are having problems with it switching on by itself (or doing it by accident), and at 1200 lumens, the batteries are gone in no time (and depending on where it is sitting, that could even be a fire hazard with the heat it puts out).  Others reported battery type, brand or quality causing it to go to half power automatically. 

A couple guys said it was going back, and they were going back to Surefire or Streamlight (the two top weapons lights available).

Obviously, a 600 lumen light that works is better than a 1200 lumen light that might work.
