The 6000 lumin rating is likely an exaggeration but it is pretty bright for one AA battery. It can also use the Chinese 14500 rechargeable battery same size as AA but with double the voltage. I bought some of those and they seem to double the brightness but not multiply it by four as you might expect from power formulas for resistive loads.
It focuses like a searchlight - when we stayed on the 16th floor of a hotel I used one to illuminate our van in the parking lot across the street. Alas now it can't be delivered to me in northern Alberta in time for Christmas. But I did order 20 of them a month ago. And shipping is likely quicker to the USA.
