Like I mentioned above, my Klarus XT11 that I owned, had drops from above 8' onto concrete more often than I could count and kept on working. What finally did it in (I surmise) is that I dropped it off a 40' lift onto concrete onto its tailcap which turned it on. It worked for about a month after that and then started going intermittent then dimmed. I think the drop broke a solder joint on the driver because if I warmed it up at the joint, it would turn on full brightness. It lived beyond its expectations though and was not even weapon mount rated. I don't know what for-real beating means to you, but to me, that is more than any light should take and expect it to work.
The Olight Warrior X that was mentioned is actually the first light to get officially drop tested. They dropped tested it from 2 meters 1200 times from all different angles. No problem..not even a cracked lens (which is 3mm thick tempered). The magnetically attached remote switch looks to be a cool feature too.
