I got to play with an A1 this weekend.

There was also a GT94 there. They looked pretty even until the GT94 stepped down after a couple minutes, then it was the A1's show the rest of the way.

I'm not familiar with the A1, what brand is it?

Looks to me like the Wuben A1. That's a $900 light with four SBT90.2 emitters, hits 20,000 lumens and throws for a mile and a half at turn-on in turbo.

Oh and the battery pack hold eight 21700 batteries.

Thank you. That sounds like an awesome light.

Indeed it is the Wuben A1. Pretty hefty but the handle is comfortable. This thing gets HOT. The handle has a rubber coating which works amazingly well at insulting your hand. We had it on turbo for >5 minutes and didn't appreciate any decrease in output. I'm sure there was some but it seemed imperceivable. I'd recommend this one over the GT94 every day of the year.

Holy ... it's like a hand-held search light. Looks fun

It's marketed as a hand-held helicopter search light 😄
