Nice photos but needs more context. Was this 10 secs on time or 10 minutes on time? Turbo modes or other modes?

Lamps were on for max 30 seconds. All lamps in turbo. Was primarily testing the Olight H67S to see if it’s any good. It sure is bright, but build quality, features and attention to detail is lacking when compared to similarly priced lamps. For the money I’d rather have a much weaker Lupine lamp or the new Silva Spectra.

Edit:
Found a review of the Olight H67, which is very similar to the H67S. Apparently it can only sustain 12 000 lumen for 2 minutes before it drops to 6000. If anyone’s interested in high lumen headlamps (5000-12000 lumen), here’s a machine translated short review of some many may not have heard of. (but most are not budget lights …)
