Well you must be confusing the Lemax (XeVision) units with the Maxabeam, it has a "laser-like" beam of little practical use except for snipers and fun (wow) factor.
The XeVision XeRay (Lemax) units are a VERY "different animal" than "laser-like" as you describe. Very use-able for search and rescue etc.
Everyone here that's familiar with these units, will attest to these last 2 sentences and claims.
We recently made a numbered limited edition (Late 2019) run of XeVision XeRay Ultra 85's dual wattage 40/85 output watts, at approximately 10,000 output lumens at the high 85 watt setting.
There is one unit remaining available 5/10 (unit 5 out of 10 units), It has the standard 70 head with an option to buy the SuperPower head.
The range with the standard 70 head (11.7 cm 4.5 inch diameter) is about 3+Km and about 4.5+Km with the SuperPower optional head (22 cm 8.5 inch diameter).
These units can be run continuously at high output without dimming or overheating.
They don't dim like LED does without having some very effective active cooling.
