Just received mine today. The closest comparison in my collection was the Trustfire X8. The 7G9 is almost twice as bright, I was not expecting that.
Bear in mind this is using TFF batteries. I have the Panasonics in the mail so I am certain the output will improve overall.

I also just picked one up last night cant wait for it to get here. Where did you buy your 7G9?

The Shadow looks great, intl-outdoor sell the 2 cell version also http://www.intl-outdoor.com/shadow-tc500-xml-u2-800lumens-218650-flashlight-p-421.html
The problem that Shadow seem to have is they under drive their lights. 64mm head and just under $60 is certainly interesting…

That thrunite tn31 is a must have it throws just as good as the olight sr90 but with a smaller beam. If you look around you could get one between $175-200 dollars shipped.

Here is a pic that selfbuilt took compering the two lights:

The TN31 is an absolute monster, considering how small it is. It can keep up with the SR90, amazing.

mags · September 20, 2012, 11:51pm

At half the price, the 7G9 is an excellent contender.

flashlight_man · September 21, 2012, 12:34am

Yeah, half the throw also

mags · September 21, 2012, 12:49am

Video
TurboBB’s video shows a completely different picture.
Paper shows one thing… video shows another.
It does throw really well. Clearly the TN31 is a winner though.

flashlight_man · September 21, 2012, 12:58am

I am sure its a nice light, but look at the picture when it goes between the TN31 and the 7G9. The TN31 is still going, LOL.

I tried to put a link in, must of done it wrong. Sorry.

mags · September 21, 2012, 1:07am

I understand the TN31 is a winner, there is no debate there, but you seem to be missing my point. At half the cost of the TN31, you get a pretty good light that throws well for most purposes.

flashlight_man · September 21, 2012, 1:27am

For sure, the TN31 is almost overkill. I have seen the 7G9 for well under one hundred dollars. That is a great deal. Looks nice. No point missing, I got it all.

8) A VERY nice light indeed.

I just recieved my crelant 7G9 i’m very disappointed. It has a nice tight beam but it’s way too dim it’s clearly not 1100 lumens. It won’t throw more then 200 meters. Anyway i well be returning it for a refund.

Slewflash · September 21, 2012, 4:45am

Either you have a defective model or you set your expectations too high. It was measured by TurboBB to emit i think 1011 lumens, and has lux readings of around 65k (measured by selfbuilt on his review).

But by the sounds of it not throwing 200 meters I’d say you have a defective model.

Mr_X · September 21, 2012, 5:08am

Selfbuild has lux reading of 55 and lumens reading of 850, go look again. But yeah i have high expectations on every light i buy. I already return 3 lights :bigsmile: : olight m3x, eagletac m3c4 and now crelant 7g9. They all can’t throw more then 200 meters.

even at 55 lux, it comes to a min throw of a generous 400 meters. I doubt your measurements are accurate to begin with for each light you have returned. My 7G9 clearly abolishes the 200 meter mark.

I do measurements using google earth dont know how accurate that is. when i tested out the light it was not pitch black. There was street lights around. Could i ask you, what 18650 do you have?

Well now your talking… at this rate your just gearing yourself up for a huge disappointment when your TN31 arrives. There are several batts out there that will drive flashlights to their max potential. I use XTAR batts and find they work really well. I alternate between protected and un-protected. I currently have Panasonics in the mail rated at 3000mAh at 3.7v
