10,500 lumens is a flashlight is…well…a LOT of light. The PowerTac Destroyer X10000 is a monster – there’s no way around it. This thing throws light and it has a great amount of spill and flood. Minuses to it? Well, it’s large and it’s going to run you a lot of cash – around $700. But if you are looking for a light with power like no other, this one might be the winner – check it out!
Here’s the Destroyer on the PowerTac website:

Admittedly only an impression from this vid but my LED Lenser M17R ain’t too far behind that. and that’s nothing like 10K lumens nor even a tenth…
honest review, your video here is close to what eyes can see. another video seems brighter than actual condition.
Doesn’t look like a destroyer at all .. see the Imalent DT70 and Judge by ur self.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting.
Tim, if possible, could you do a side by side comparison test with this light versus the X3000 Gen 2 which I purchased last fall. Honestly, I’m sure it’s just the video but this light seems no brighter than mine. Also, you might want to point out to your viewers that it is probably a good idea to purchase a second battery pack. They are very expensive but when making a purchase of this magnitude, it just makes sense to have a back up to put away for the long haul as prices are sure to go up. I purchased an extra one for my X3000 Gen 2 and it fits right into the box the X3000 came in. Lastly, this is an American company that builds its lights in China but under excellent quality control conditions. I mention this because much of what comes out of China is garbage but they also build excellent products as well provided the price point is high enough to generate quality labor and materials. I spoke with the people at Powertec and their customer service is excellent.
Wow! Nice light! Wish that fit into my budget! Too much of a stretch for me!
I would love to edc that lol
10000 lumens Powerful Flashlight 6T6 Removable led torch CREE XML T6 3x 18650 Rechargeable Battery Portable 5000 lumen
http://got.by/1dcte9
You can buy very nice 10k lumens all day long for under $100 bucks that are just fine, if you just look. For the List Price:of $689.95, you can buy an old car, with head WoW, working head lights, & gee whiz, a nifty generator of your very own to recharge the battery. You even get someplace to sit as you aim & shine it on stuff. Prices crack me up that people are willing to pay, & company’s to try & sell stuff for. My mid-moring LOL for sure.
Nice EDC light, will fit on any pocket. Lol. Jokes a part awesome review as always, thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Have you seen this one: http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_612736.html
1/4 of the price with 16000 lumens 🙂
LOL 690$? There’s many premium quality lights you can get that are as bright or brighter for less than 100 USD. I don’t hate on capitalism but damn that’s a huge rip off.
All American Prepper approves this for everyday carry!
600 meters is ok, but not that good for a light that big…thrunite tn40 stock does close to 5000 lumens, and throws 1150 meters…thats twice as far as this light…. and you can buy 3 of them for what that one cost….take it a step further and get it modded from vinh…then your looking at 9000 lumens, and over 1400 meters of throw…thats almost 2.5 times the distance…and about half of what that light cost….and the tn40 is at least half or more, smaller….just saying….good review none the less ……
Awhile ago you did a video about how you were going to start rucking. Is there a follow up video coming?
i have a 40k lumens i made myself. did you test this from full charge to cut off on all major settings please.
Heh you can BLIND bigfoot with that flashlight!
not worth the money thanks
rediculously overpriced! the tn36-2017 is less than half the price!
NOT 10000L, more like 1500!!
that thing is a beast
No way in hell is that 10k lumins
What beautiful area. That is one torch perfect for search & rescue
Nice light if you have the $$$!
That light does not seem to be 10000 lumens at all.. The Thrunite 40, 42, and AC70 seems to beat this…
Not practical for everyday carry.. LOL.. $$$$$$
This looks like a 1000 lumen light to me.
My energizer 900 lm puts out more light.
Wahahaha-how..what the??
OK, I have been looking at crazy powered psycho-lights for weeks, ranging from 3,4,5 thousand, to 30,000 lumens, price ranging from $70 to $450-ish, a couple a bit more, but most come with a bundle of accessories and a good warranty, usually.
Then I saw this one, nowhere near the top of the chart, but not a little guy either..power wise, pretty much in the middle of the one’s that I’ve been looking at. Certainly in the running for consideration for sure. Before you got to the price, I popped over to the website to see what it’s going for. With the power ranking in mind, compared to the other 20-25 or so I’ve got written down for consideration, I’m thinking $200-ish. I am presently frozen in the eyebrow raise. My personal CPU between my ears, can’t decide the next step. It’s calculating all the normal options, with “bursting laughter”, “OMG”, “WT..?”, and “UgottaBkiddinmee” topping the list.
To end this on a more positive note, I’m going to choose a departing remark from the “less likely” category, and say it’s a “very, very nice light”, and is probably (God I hope) a “higher quality” than any of the other 10 or so brands presently on my list of considerations 😉
My memory is low, I’m going to reboot now 😉
if you can’t blind someone with the light output, you can use the flashlight itself as a club. that thing is massive…but awesome.
I noticed on the side of the light it says “light years ahead ” a light year is a measurement of distance, I wonder if they know that
can you focus the light? i would imagine you should be able to at that price. might as well get one of a different brand if you want to spend that much on a light. something like the X21R.2 from led lenser. 3000 lumens is no joke either. and you can focus it.(also dimmable and a bunch more settings)
Its not for me but enjoyed the vid.
That’s all you got? lol
that’s what every woman wants for Valentine’s Day just tell them you light up my life baby
it didn’t seem to throw any better than the Thrunite TN40S or Nitecore TM28 that have less lumens. I do like the usb feature though.
my fenix pd35 is brighter, Any light With X destroyer” in the name, is a ripoff definitely not 10,000 lumens
$690 for this light is $400 too much for what this light is.Acebeam x65 is a better light and $190 less. I don’t think too many flash-a-holics would buy this light at all.Acebeam,Olight,Nitecore,Thrunite and so on. 675 meters isn’t very far at all.The Thrunite TN42 throws almost one mile!
seriously my $12 j5 tactical 300 light on my Kelly technology sub 2000 looks better
