Is this a thousand Lumen flashlight or not I'm reading very many conflicting answers does anyone know for sure

There are two different versions of the Streamlight Waypoint Spotlight, "rechargeable" and "battery/12V powered". The light output from the "rechargeable" version is greater, as is the rated light beam throw distance (but not by much). The key difference is likely the "rechargeable" version's light beam has a slightly broader pattern, sort of a combination spot/flood style. This is where the greater lumen output goes. It could be an advantage if you want more light in the foreground. The more "spotlight" pattern the battery/12V powered Waypoint appears to deliver would light up the subject, but leave the surrounding area darker. As for the various levels of lumen output, each light has three different output power settings so each light has multiple lumen ratings. The Streamlight website has these specifications, as well as estimated run times using the differs settings for both lights. A key difference is the battery/12V version has High, Low and Emergency Signal options, while the "rechargeable" version has High, Medium and Low options (no strobe). Another key difference is the battery version can also be run off a 12V power source (with no drain on the batteries), while the "rechargeable" version must be recharged (estimated at about 4 hours) before it will emit light again.

Is there a 12v charger available?

Yes...streamlight 44923Available at amazon

does it come with a 12V charger, or can one be bought

It inky comes with a 110v charger, but the charge lasts for a long time. I found this to be the best light of the two I own it find navigation buoy at long distances. I wouldn't take a night voyage without this light.

I am looking for a VERY POWERFUL light to find my dogs on 3 acres, or to scare off mountain lions in our yard...will this work?

I do not know if it works on mountain lions, but it does on other kinds of dangerous wild game. Once, i was crawling through the African bush and suddenly found myself staring into the cold, dead eyes of a dead rhino. Another rhino was doing unspeakable things to the dead rhino. And then, the not-dead rhino saw me and froze, a snarl starting to spread across its rough hide that had never seen moisterizer. I slowly slid my hand around to my backpack for my Streamlight 44910 Waypoint (yellow). Sensing time was running out on my life, I clicked on the three-stage switch to strobe, slowly pointed my Streamlight 44910 Waypoint (yellow) and unleashed hell. Happily, the battery still held a charge after 2,658 hours of use. After selling the tusk from the dead rhino, I plan to buy another Streamlight 44910 Waypoint (yellow) when my check arrives from the King of China. Yes, I can recommend this product.
