surefire titan + claims to be 300 lumens

Is that even possible from a single AAA light?

Wouldn’t that mean like 2 amps from one AAA battery?

YES

NO

Let me help you with that…

Good day

thanks for adding more info. i was on my phone :slight_smile:

i questioned the 300 lumens on flashlight fanatics, but some just responded that Surefire wouldn’t lie.

I just can’t see it especially with that run time. I thought Surefire were supposed to be very robust but I never thought of them as cutting edge in the technical department.

I’m almost certain it is impossible to keep up 300 lumens for one hour from a single AAA NiMH cell. But, they are using ANSI specs, meaning that the light has to be at or above 300 lumens at 30 seconds after turn on, then it can drop down to 10% of that number (30 lumens). Nobody said it even has to dim slowly. They could put a step-down timer in at 30+ seconds to get the supposed run-time, and it will be legitimate by ANSI standard. :evil:

Yes. Trying to interpret this graph:
Its On for an hour, but its not AT 300 lumen for an hour… maybe 300 lm for 1 minutes or less, 30% after 15 minutes, and after 1 hour its at 20%?:

“Titan” plus gives an impression of Titanium, maybe it’s because I’m a Ti freak I want it to be Titanium so I read that in. It’s not. It’s nickel plated brass. As such, it’s heavier than it needs to be. Softer and more easily dented/gouged. as well. And par for the course, they don’t identify the emitter. So, if we were to assume an XP-L emitter we could say that it would make 300 lumens at around 600-675 mA, right? And a NiMH AAA has what, 900mAh capacity? So, we can pretty easily conclude that 300 lumens will not be on tap for an hour of run time, another bit of misdirection. And if the light is indeed not made of Titanium, merely a plated brass, why the $100 price tag?

It looks nice, it promises a decent amount of floody light with no hot spot, but I think it’s pretty easy to pass up, at least for me it is.

A nice 304 Stainless Steel AAA light with a tail clicky is available from CNQG (or BangGood) for ~$18, the SS DQG AAA. One of the smallest, most robust lights with a tail clicky I’ve seen, and with a very nice XP-G2 R5 1A emitter. Granted, at 140 lumens it’s about half the claimed lumens of the Surefire Titan plus, but doesn’t that make a lot more sense in something small enough for your keychain? (this one I couldn’t pass up, have one on the way)

To each his/her own…

"And if the light is indeed not made of Titanium, merely a plated brass, why the $100 price tag?"

Simple...it's a Surefire.
