(Note: You can disregard the advertised 1100 lumens. Various members have measured the output at 1300+ lumens.)

However, around the house and for walking the dogs, I’d go for a much floodier flashlight. For you, I’d suggest treating yourself to a high CRI flashlight such as the Jaxman E2 Nichia 219B. While it falls far short of your 1200 lumen criteria, I think that you will find 300 lumens more than enough to illuminate anything within the immediate vicinity. (High Color Rendering Index provides much more accurate color rendition, more true-to-life. You’ll hear a lot about CRI, if you stick around BLF.)

I just ordered one. I would have preferred one with an output range of 5 lumens to 100 lumens, rather than 15 lumens to 300 lumens, because I find that I need the more mellow lows rather than the high octane highs. Nonetheless, I ordered one anyway because I couldn’t resist such a price for a high CRI flashlight! And I paid the extra $0.56 to expedite shipping, well worth it IMHO. :slight_smile:
