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!
wow yep that is bound by law to male it 12000 lumens where can I get it?I want one hey where is that Futurama clip where it says hurry up and take my money?it would be very apropreiate right about now lol
Hahaha... They never package it with 10,000mAh Ultrafire 18650 ?
Iz teh eBayz! Only $83!
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 $300 on something that has so little backing. It’s baffling.
I know, lol…it’s insane. There is no way I would spend anywhere near that much money with out reading/watching review comparisons and knowing for sure what I’m getting.
who really is a great person except we don’t see eye to eye on lights he called mine a cheap chinese light oh well
If a person can be led astray on something like this, he will be very very likely be wrong about a dozen other things.... and that IS a problem!!
Maybe someone should ask their shop to send a review sample!!!
think of it this way, you have seen the light and since he resists doing the same he is staying in the dark and should be allowed to remain
I did they said they would give a whopping 20.00$ cupons code to do a review I mentioned ididnt feel qualified and to send it to any other ember who has done reviews and they told me once I bought it I could do what I wanted with the light
Monster brand flashlights, batteries and cases are still causing me to be a very confused consumer. Will the USB rechargeable models come with a Monster USB cable?
oh I love this one how can I get it
Bought a couple of "monster" flashlights many years ago when I was still just dipping my toe into this hobby.
They are chinese rebranded junk, and of no higher quality whatsoever. If your friend believes whatever is stamped on the side of a battery tube send him my way and I'll be sure get him a nice "50,000" lumen light for the low low price of, idk, $900? Also have some bridges to sell :p
As for definitive proof, nothing beats a side by side at night comparison. Of course your friend is likely to get pissy after he realize he's been swindled.
Thank you this is the best proof I have I heard from anyone may I quote what you just shared with forum and send hin your statement to him?This I what I have been looking for…
