Biggest & baddest? Probably the Lenser X21. Somewhere in the region of 1,000 lumens; mediocre compared to many lights mentioned here but for my purposes (I do out-of-hours standby cover for high-voltage substations) it's variable focus and intense output is awesome. Tightly-focused beam for picking out - and probably blinding - intruders at a distance; bright even flood for visually surveying faulty equipment. Oh, and it's big and heavy enough to offer some reassurance in the dead of night!
Next best is my Trustfire 3T6; similar output to the Lenser but the beam is fixed and therefore a compromise between flood and throw, more on the floody side. A good backup for the Lenser when I'm on call.
Now an X21 using seven XM-Ls rather than the XR-Es in the current model, and NiMh or Li-Ions rather than alkalines? THAT would be epic!
