According to ebay this light can be “selected” with the 1,000,000 lm brightness option at time of purchase.
The very cheap looking light has no indication of LED, brand or driver that might be inside, so I assume it will in the low hundreds on lumen.
Let’s assume a conservative 250 lm estimate and this sale would be a 4,000x increase.
And people still get scammed buying the $700 100 000 lumens Imalent MS18 while they could have had the same output with a 19$ dollar flashlight… very sad
After having seen the reviews of these items… it is shocking how little average consumers know about lumens, flashlights, or technology at all. Most of the reviews are positive! They really believe they had a deal here…. omg
Yeah, if you’re only used to incandescent lights and lights on phones then these cheap zoomies are going to seem very impressive. I think they actually throw a couple of hundred meters when zoomed out (before the switch fails).
I just found a X800 clone on AliExpress for £3.50 ($4.50) with free shipping. I’ve just ordered it and will put it to the test when it arrives.
