Here are my updated lumen estimate:

I just received my Olight H2R Nova XHP50 NW. I measured 308 lux. The H2R Nova NW was measured at 2,360 lumens by Maukka in his review on CPF
Olight H2R review (Headlamp/right angle, 18650, XHP50) | Candle Power Flashlight Forum
TLF also measured two different units of the H2R Nova NW at 2,380 and 2,420 lumens
(Vergleich) Olight H2R, Armytek Wizard, Acebeam H10 / H15, Nitecore HC33(Achtung, viele Bilder) | Taschenlampen Forum

I will assume 308 lux equals 2,360 lumens, which I think should be quite accurate because I measured 315 lux for the Acebeam H15 XHP70.2 CW which is advertised at 2,500 lumens. I can’t find any reviews measuring the lumens of the H15 to compare.
Here are the calculated lumens using this assumption:

MT09R 5000k measures 2,170 lux equates to 16,627 lumens
MT09R 4000k 80CRI measures 1,640 lux equates to 12,566 lumens

If you ask me which one I like better, I much prefer the 4000k because I personally prefer a very slight warmth in the neutral. I’m so glad I bought this light as high lumen 4000k flashlights are not available anywhere else.

BTW, I just realized Maukka measured the 2,360 lumens at 30s. At 30s, my H2R Nova is at 296 lux. Revised calcs results in:
MT09R 5000k measures 2,170 lux equates to 17,301 lumens
MT09R 4000k 80CRI measures 1,640 lux equates to 13,076 lumens

Also today I applied DC-Fix on my MT09R 4000k and omg it makes the beam so gorgeous. No more defined hotspot. Won’t turn it into a flood monster like the MT03 though, but just smooths everything out and slightly increases spill to make the light more usable. I highly recommend it.
