have their been any forum review of Monster brand flashlights?

So far nope. But have you tried explaining to him that lumen rating cannot be printed on to be “official” but measured so every light has varying lumen rating even if they were of the same make

I believe this is the OEM/OBM for Kai Domain. The KD brand flashlights can be found here. You can even order some up with whatever brand you want laser etched on it. You can have one branded Monster with 10,000 lumens if you like. :wink:

Yes I thought maybe monster bought from KD and rebranded and marked up for 100.00+

So some guy is insulting your higher quality, better performing flashlight?
Same guy spent $220 for maybe 3300lm and probably another $40 for 3 same branded 18650 cells. They charge $30 for an i4, $45 for a D4 so he probably got one of those too.

Just Laugh about it.

he said it was a xmlu2 with a constant current driver and runs at 2.0 amps ,I tried showing him the Wikipedia led site with the cree leds types and amperage and he said my led wasn’t even on there probably some unknown knock off led because ehes never seen one like it anyhow I guess I’ll let it go I just wish someone would get one and review and post the results ove checked CPF her on BLF and of course no one monster lights serious enough to do one and o almost bought into th a couple of years ago and than God memebers here steered me away from them I just hate what they charge and blatantly lie about performance and being made in America

that’s pretty much the same hustle

This whole Monster brand flashlights, batteries and cases business is making me a very confused consumer. :wink:

Subject: Monster Flashlights and Batteries

Hello

I am very confused. Are the Monster flashlights and batteries sold at monsterflashlight.com real monster flashlights, batteries and cases?

Since I don’t want myself or my friends who told me about Monster flashlights, batteries and cases to get ripped off, I thought that I’d ask you before I make a purchase. There are so many counterfeit Monster products out there and products with the Monster name on it.

Thank you

Then just buy one of these bad boys. With "16000 LM" stamped on the tube, it's legally bound to be legit, by law! :bigsmile:

Too bad this one isn't stamped appropriately...

28,000 Lumens in a single-emitter zoomie! This has got to be a record!

or this one...

30,000-Lumen Single-T6/Single-18650 for only $8.99!

Even better, a 30,000 lumen LED headlamp, that somehow pushes a generic emitter to insane levels without heat sinking!

The best thing to do would be to educate him…send him a link to BLF.

someone should sell “monster” lights on eBay at low prices.
that would get monster steamed up.

I have he said he doesn’t like BLF because they only deal with cheap chinese lights,and he told once he went and asked on CPF about monsyer and that is where he got the idea that if the lumen rating is ecth3d into battery tube than that was it a cull out but and xmlu2 s are the latest emitters I would really like to see someone do a review on one maybe Iam wrong but it would be fun to find out .

I doubt anyone from CPF would actually tell him that. A lot of CPF members are also members of this forum, like myself…some use different names though. If anyone over there told him that, I’m sure your friend & the person that said that would have both been corrected pretty quickly.

After looking on CPF at the CLOSED “monster light” thread, looked like the manufacturer was trying to gain business by creating new accounts on CPF and asking if anyone has ever heard of monster brand flashlights. He would then post replies with the created accounts, acting as customers of monster lights/members of CPF and post reviews. After a few threads of user accounts with only 1 or two posts were the only ones chiming in on monster lights they started closing them seeing as how it was suspicious and most likely the manufacturer doing it.

Yes I’ve read about every thread I can find again no srious posts no tests no reviews nothing I just want some hard proof to show him ah forget I just got feelings hurt because he turned his node up at new light I’ll try and get over it

I just ran into that a few moments ago as well.

Even if those were not shill posts they only mentioned having MF lights with nothing to compare it against. It would be like giving a incan maglite user a 9x 5mm led, 3x AAA flashlight.

The few that did have something to compare it against were negative about the MF brand.

After spending some time google searching I’ve found 3 youtube review/comparisons, the 4 or 5 BLF threads light junkie started, and the 1 CPF thread.

1 of the youtube videos is reviewing a direct Ultrafire 501B copy, branded MF. They sell this for $40.

The other was an el cheapo 5x xpe, plunger style flashlight.

What really amazes me is that people would actually spend upwards of $300 on something that has so little backing. It’s baffling.

I know, lol…it’s insane. There is no way I would spend anywhere near that much money with out reading/watching review comparisons and knowing for sure what I’m getting.

who really is a great person except we don’t see eye to eye on lights he called mine a cheap chinese light oh well
