Thanks for posting the graphs Pearldriver. It’s hard to imagine the MS18 is more than twice as bright as the X70. That would mean it is making over 100k peak lumens. However, it seems like the sustained load is about 14k lumens. Was hoping for 20k lumens sustained.
It looks like the sustained on the MS18 roughly matches the sustained on the X70. Sustained on the MS18 was 647 and sustained on the X70 was halfway between 400 and 800, leaning a little closer to the 800 side in the beginning. While it’s not 20,000, I’m hoping it means the sustained is closer to 18,000 like the X70 is advertised.
That doesn’t appear to be measuring lumens. It seems to be measuring lux which can vary based on the beam angle from the reflector (wide, narrow, etc…)
We need more info on what is measured and how the measurements were done. Ideally you need a large integrating sphere to take the beam angles out of the equation.
I am already making flyers letting my neighbors know it’s just me with the bright lights since they thought someone was shining a flashlight through their basement windows and called the police when I got my X80-GT.
