Meh pointless 3000 lumens for how long 10 seconds? I measured my Nitecore HC33 at 2200 lumens and that steps down straight away. This light looks the same as the HC33 might be the same body?

It is what it is, a body this size can only handle so much power continuously, everything higher will need a stepdown. I like the option of a short burst of wow in a flashlight, as long as the lower continuous modes are easy to find and the user interface is good.

At some point you need to draw the line. It’s more of a pissing contest now, who’s got the bigger numbers. I understand lumens sell that’s why they sell and make lights like this.
How long could you possibly use all 3350 lumens maybe 10-20 seconds if even that before dramatic stepdown? Is it really worth it? It’s more of a bragging right at this point?
Personally as a headlamp user it doesn’t sell me a headlamp.
I don’t even bother to use the turbo setting in my HC33. If it’s a cold day you can run the HC33 at turbo and it just manages to do 30 seconds before going below 1800 lumens. On a hot day good luck. This light looks like same body but with almost twice the power.
Not a stab at Thrunite. Yes I would build a light like this but I would not place it on my head or sell it to an everyday consumer.

I love my Emisar D4 Nichia’s Turbo. It happens quite often that I want to see more in a certain direction. It’s often just 2-5 seconds of use. The Turbo mode serves me well.

More like 95% for sustainable levels. Maybe 90% for turbo. See GXB172 for example
Boost drivers are more efficient than linear.
