Got mine today, had not tracked so was surprised.
Have to say lately I have been bored with flashlights and real life has taken over my time. But after opening the box and setting it up I was grabbing all kinds of flashlights that I have not handled in 6 months to try them and think the readings are pretty good.
First one tried was trusty old Sofirn PF04, EDC it every day and it came up as 236 lumens, they rate it at 240 and Sofirn is usually fairly honest on their readings or a tad under rated so that was a good first try.
Next up was a C8 by SeresRoad which is pretty much a Thorfire C8 XML2 that came in at 1090 lumen pretty much what was expected.
Also tried a Sofirn SP32a, showed 1350 with Panasonic utility battery, tried a Samsung 30Q and it went over 2100, the meter auto-ranged up at that point and read 210.
Did not keep it on for long as that light gets hot quick in turbo and didn’t want to risk frying the emitter. That is why I run the less powerful battery in it for safe daily use.
So, so far I like this rig.
Told the Wife it is a “Precision Measuring Device” and not a new toy
Anyway Hat’s off to Texas_Ace and his “Team” for delivering the goods ahead of time and on Budget.
I feel blessed to have gotten one at the price paid and am happy for not being pessimistic.
THANKS!!!
Later
