VINH'S CREATIONS. Watt makes them so special?..........

Vinh’s numbers are always a little low which is great because I get surprises like the way this torch cuts through the Sky,lumen!

Actually this is a controversial statement.
Recently we had a discussion on precisely this topic. It started with this:

Emisar D4S review

FWIW, that probably translates to about 82 kcd. Vinh’s lux meter seems to use a different scale than most people use. The correction factor seems to be about 0.75 or so, if you want to compare the numbers against other people’s. For example, the D1S (stock with no mods) is listed as 130 kcd on Intl-Outdoor or 170 kcd in Vinh’s shop. 0.76 correction factor. Every other light I’ve checked (or measured) also follows a similar pattern with a factor pretty close to that.

There are some responses that follow.
