I read threads that interest me, and avoid others. I don’t buy every BLF light. Mostly I like the mods but absolute numbers aren’t super important since they are dependent on too many variables. The DIY contest is my favorite/most dreaded time of year.
Indeed it does, though zoomed in the photos look amazing!
Edit:
I cut the image sizes about 25%, improved?
Still a bit of a muffin bottom. That’s a lot of flashlights. Buying stock in Duracell?
Hell no, buying stock in Panasonic would make more sense 
Those are not my lights, all my lights put together would be less then half of one of those pictures, but imagine how many lumens one could output with all those lights on maximum, especially modded
