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…
Go for it. Monster flashlights/Howard simply takes advantage of uneducated, and gullible buyers. Not as badly as some chinese companies that blatantly lie, but it's the same approach. The quality he offers is maybe slightly better than a run of the mill chinese light from ebay, but not by much if any difference. If your friend buys from him, he is paying for the logo, and not much more. Again the best way to see the difference is to see two lights side by side. Compare the "monster" to one of the better chinese brands, fenix, nitecore, thrunite, zebralight, etc, and the difference is immediately visible.
The three highly efficient Cree T5 emitters used on the Stingray are so efficient that we were able to engineer this flashlight to run for up to 2 hours on high on a full charge and an incredible 12 hours on low. The thought and hard work that went into the MF Tactical Stingray has produced a tactical flashlight vastly superior to any competitor’s product in this price range. We challenge you to find any flashlight sold by any of our competitors for less than $300 that has even half the power, quality and attention to detail of the Stingray. You will not find anything that comes close, because the Stingray gives you more of everything that a professional user or just a plain old enthusiast (i.e., “flashlight freak”) wants without the $500+ price tag you might expect.
Anybody want to take them up on this?I apologize for being obsessed with these lights but the banter between and Artie is getting heated and them when I read this omg!
oh my goodness! that is just SICK! Wow, I can`t read that crap without almost chocking... or punching the monitor
anyone want to take Monster up on this challenge or are we afraid we might lose?I was watching whatever you tube videos I could find and those are even worse than the adds they were comparing old lights Coleman performance leds and Nebo Redline maglights and the such!Not even one cheap ultrafire or trustfire !
A review of an ultrafire 501b. Or I mean a monster flashlight:
And one that is made in America...can't find that city on the map of China, but nonetheless it's made there. It's not a copy of a 3t6 light....
this out back flashlight rated at 100 lumens blows away monster flashlight 320 lumen light right out of the water watch video https://youtu.be/D-AzURARl0U
If you do this, I suggest paying through a credit card that is good when it comes to chargebacks, and you mysteriously can't reach anyone all of a sudden.
Personally I'd just order a couple of TM16's, and a charger for that price though.
but you mean you can buy 2 TM16S and a charger for the price of one monster?well clearly it’s a Chinese 4000 lumens because Howard told my friend the most powerful light in the world is the wicked laser and his powerstar was the second most powerful but has a much better runtime and the Nitecore doesn’t clearly have the lumen rating engraved on the battery tube !By law if it’s engraved on the tube then that’s what it has to produce (never mind Nitecore was the one of the manufacturers who set the ANSI standard!) lmao that’s what I was told when I showed him my Acebeam and the 4 die emitter was a unknown emitter that cree doesn’t make lol.Thanks InfinitusEquitas I look into it seriously think about it
I have a modded J18 that actually does the 8,000 lumens printed on the tube. Oopsie, his just got beat by a light that makes twice the output, IF it really outputs 4,000 lumens (which it doesn’t almost certainly). But they will be “certain” thiers is the best to get that $300 purchase price.
what is a cree t5 emitter ? an XM-L ?
and why is anyone even talking to monster except for laughs.
he’s not selling chinese lights by accident
good point what is a T5 emitter?
