Says they tested with 2x 5000mAh 21700 so that’s 37Wh
Also says Turbo is 1.5h runtime so on average it would be using 25W.
Nothing is doing 9000 lumens for 25W so they are not mentioning that Turbo means X seconds or minutes at XXXX lumens then the power is cut down a LOT but they keep counting the runtime on low power as “Turbo”.
4x SST40 can do 9000 lumens if the batteries can do over 12A in series for 90-100W which would suck the batteries dry in 20 minutes while burning your hand so instead it will do that for a short period then as the torch gets hot (won’t take long) it will cut the power down.
So for a short time, yes, it should do 9000 lumens.
Well step-down is no surprise; I’m familiar with the BS that is ANSI standards. I was just curious whether this could even hit that max output figure. Sounds like it should theoretically be able to. Thanks for the answer!
EDIT: Oh, hold up. The batteries are rewrapped Lishens (LR2170SD) so they are rated at 9.6 amps. I guess the light may under-perform with these cells. It may be two 21700s and a spring bypass away from greatenes
I was making fun of this today . But after having carried it it the woods and along the bike trail , I find it an oddly ,satisfyingly , legal club which is very comforting out in the dark places . It’s also a pretty decent light . I retract my ridicule.
Is it the ML300L? I see a there is a flashlight enthusiast review over here. That is a LONG runtime test. Neat that it can maintain 100% output for about 18hrs even if the max output isn’t crazy high. Definitely a light for someone worried about sustainable output rather than maximum output or ergonomics.
Yes the ML300L. it doesn’t drop down , but I think they rate it at just under 700 lumens . Aside from the ugly dark spider web lookin dark spot in the beam , which is easy enough to get rid of , it’s got a very practical and usable beam to it . It’s also an awesome club !
I wouldn’t be surprised if even LEDs with negative DUV turn much positive when measured at so low currents like moon and firefly mode,we lack often this info.
Well, you know that some LEDs have less or greater excursion in tint shift ,like the SST20. Maybe it’s impression but on my 2700k samples DUV increase much more at moon or firefly modes
Single use club. You give anyone the good news with it and it’s gonna bend on account of being a thin walled aluminium tube thats weighted with batteries.
