Man, I donât know if a matchbox illuminates it at 1 km, but the specifications indicate that it illuminates at just over 1 kilometer.
And at night it looks like a lightsaber when you put it face up you see the light shoot
Yes, it may seem ânot many lumensâ but then I have verified that it is enough to illuminate an entire room several meters away, at night and crossing an interior patio until reaching that room.
Letâs say that the lumens make good use of them. Of course if it had 4000 then better, but you know what usually happens when there are many lumens, that the flashlight does not support it and after 2 minutes or so the power drops because it cannot withstand the heat. With what in the end you have 2000 or 1400 lumens or so equally. But hey, we all like the more lumens the better even if they are not usable later, or usable for 60 seconds or so.
I just recently bought 3 new lights and waiting for them to arrive,so maybe this one is one I âneedâ to add to the already pile I hardly use now! HB
I understand what youâre saying but thatâs not the case with several of my lights. Theyâre modified and they donât have a step down. Obviously itâs going to lose lumens Once you turn on. But the loss is gradual and unnoticeable until about 8 to 10 minutes.
My NI40 and K1 can get about 10 good minutes combined max Before the lumen reduction is noticeable. You can only get 12 to 14 minutes of Max output until battery depletion.
Now in the summer, I can only run in about two, two and a half minutes and I have to turn it down cuz it gets too hot. But this time of the year I can run it 10 minutes straight until battery depletion.
Itâs been very cold here the last few days. 11 below zero fahrenheit yesterday morning and last night three below zero. I donât have my Celsius chart to compare that with.
I could tell you this my most powerful light my x65 mini which is 10,000 lumens and 550 kcd. It was so windy (30 plus mph gusts up to 50) and cold Friday night it was a natural fan. itâs the first time that light never got hot and I didnât have to turn it down! Ran it 15 minutes straight. Thatâs how powerful that light is, 4 X VTC5D batteries drained in 15 minutes!
Personally Iâd rather have those lights that have that power than one thatâs only half the power. Because I can enjoy full power for several minutes up to 10 minutes depending on the outdoor temperature.
