Nightwatch Avaritia A54U - 22,000 lumens EDC flashlight!!!
With a warmed up MOLICEL P50B, the Nightwatch Avaritia A54Ultra is nearly 4000 lumens brighter than the previous record holder, the CYANSKY P50R…
If they would just be honest about the performance of their flashlights… Its an impressive flashlight but they always lie

They lie because there are no ramifications. There are no ramifications because there is no oversight.
Notice how something like this would never happen in the USA however US made lights cost a lot more.
Would you pay more money’s for a company to be more honest?
Ehh it happens everywhere. Same in the usa just look at all the proud usa made tools and power tools lying. Maybe not with flashlights but mist usa flashlights are customs so thats a comoletely different market segment. Also yeah id pay more if they were honest because then i would buy the flshlight. But im never buying a flashlight from this company because i think its too shady that every product advertises much more than it can actually do.
No way, not in the USA. Company would go out of business or the regulators would shut it down.
I wish… But never the less ~16K lumens from a small single cell light is quite impressive.
Nightwatch in particular is one of the worst worh fibbing specs. The A15 advertised 94,000 but i only got a hair over 60,000. The NI03S said like 17 or 18000, but i think peak was 13000 and some change (still, it’s still the brightest single cell flashlight in existence per my testing). Not surprising. I tested the A54u also and will have it ready shortly.

I’ve just measured the Xiaomi Mijia 1000 lumens light. It measured 1140 lol.
P50B is not the highest performance 21700 cell. Try with a JP40.

Ah yes, corporate America is well known for it’s honesty… 
I take the opinion that false advertising lawsuits happen because companies tried to deceive, rather than proof that the US has a good mechanism to prevent deception. The deception is more subtle than adding an additional couple of 0’s onto the output, I’ll concede that simple lying about facts largely isn’t possible in western markets.
Back on topic: has anyone calculated the efficiency of this thing at full chat? Must be sub-70lm/w??

The difference between the US and China is that the Chinese government promotes corruption in business. The biggest counterfeiting in the world exists in China and the Chinese government does nothing to stop it. Its been this case for decades. So Chinese flashlight companies, especially the smaller ones love the idea of exaggerating lumens to sell more lights.

It pulled 49 amps at the tail, so probably a bit more than that. Output per my testing on the stock cell was just shy of 14,000 Lumens. 3v x probably 54 amps is around 85lm/w. That’s a rough estimate.

I can get hold of an Eve 21700, which should beat the P50B.
