I have no idea what the ratings on most of those lights are supposed to be, would you might posting the rated lumens with the measured lumens?
Also some readings without the plastic would be nice to get a better idea of a general purpose calibration factor for everyone.
Sooner or later a number will have to be averaged out and selected for all of them to get comparable readings.

So far I get better reading with the plastic… it is pretty consistent…

How do I make this tube stand level?? I can’t twist it anymore.: do you use heat gun ?

I want to make my lumen tube stand like the one in the first photo…

I will figure out… in the meantime, I tested the tn40vn90. Skylumen got 5000 lumen @30 seconds…
I got 5600 turn on… 5000 @ 30 seconds…
Olight sr96vn… vinh got 12000 lumen… TA lumen tube 12540 lumen.
Stock acebeam L16… 2100 turn on… 2050 @30 seconds…
So this tube is pretty accurate.

No heat gun. Eat your Cheerio’s Newlumen & twist that thing to where it belongs……

I am getting very comfortable with the TA lumen tube… I am getting better results…
Just set it like that and place your light…

Just use your BLF GT for half an hour a day and watch your muscle grow
Btw, the numbers you got looks pretty accurate. Is this with the plastic sheet added at the meter or just stock from TA?

Nope, no glue or heat gun on that joint. Simple wiggle it back and forth while putting it out and it should loosen up. Then you can twist it to where ever you want.
Yeah, I agree the plastic is better for the readings, I am wanting to figure out how much adjustment the spheres need. The more data the better.

It is very difficult to get the turn on lumen number because number change quickly… but after all, we look for 30 seconds lumen…
So far so good. TA numbers are pretty close to skylumen…

I add one layer of grocery plastic bag. Make sure the light is stable.

I don’t know how malkoff measure their lumen… wildcat v6 is rated 1050. Maybe they are using 4 cr123 or protected 18650… we got 1400 lumen range using unprotected.

I just realize you got 11k lumens for the M43vn. That seems much too high. I thought even Skylumen couldn’t boost it any above stock because it’s already overdriven from the factory, which is rated at 8,000 lumens for the XPL-HI. My M43 w/ XP-L HI v2 measured 7,000 lumens at turn on using ceiling bounce, whereas my MT09R with TA driver and TA swapped 4000k 80CRI emitters measured 22.8k lumens at turn on using ceiling bounce.

I bought my m43vn in September, 2016. Skylumen rated 11000 lumen, and I have it on my note…

11k lumens from an M43 should be possible. I have a 12x 319A 80CRI light that does around 13k lumens, I use it as a photo light.

Found the m43vn spec card… check post #3510 . I got 11320 lumen with the Sony vtc6.
