I'm just not sure 20,000 is enough. Only 18 bulbs?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UltraFire-18T6-20000-Lumen-18xCree-XM-L-T6-5-Mode-Memory-LED-Flashlight-Torch-/161177030607?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2586e64fcf ETA it has been found much cheaper: Quoted:
Here is the same light for $130. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/high-power-22000LM-18-x-Cree-XML-T6-Led-Flashlight-Torch-Lamp-for-5-x-32650/1557534167.html I've found it listed in a few spots, and it's listed anywhere between 20k and 26k lumens. Real world output is probably 50-60% of that, but would still be a fun toy

If it doesn't blind your opponent, it might at least cook them.

Wow, that is impractical as heck, but I kinda want one too. If it really puts out even close to 20k lumens, that thing would light up my neighborhood. 18650 batteries are fairly available and not too expensive, depending on where you buy them. Plus they are rechargeables (which I am sure you would need with something this power hungry).

If anyone bought this, please ditch the Ultrafire batteries. One fizzling may make for a good toxic joke, but that many Ultrafires in one light is going to be like a poisonous 12 gauge buckshot round going off in your face when (not if) they blow up.
Also, the incredibly shallow reflectors will likely not throw very far at all. Up close that fucking thing will burn your retinas even if it makes half that power.
Consider me a skeptic. No ANSI standards, and no runtime specs. I think someone over at Ultrafire had a "Hey, hold my beer and watch this" moment. It's the size of one Maglite but makes more lumens than every Maglite ever made combined. Pretty funny considering 5 years ago they were knocking off Surefires, and now they're making power that Surefire could never dream of even in their regular lights. |

I don't really know that much about flashlights. So help me out: Exactly how bright is 20,000 lumen? Give me some perspective. About 40 times brighter than the brightest Surefire. 100 times brighter than their pistol lights. 10 times brighter than the brights on a modern car. Consider what I said above about reflector depth though. Lumens are only half the equation contrary to what Surefire has led the market to believe. If it doesn't make candela like a car headlight, it will only seem bright up close. Lumens would be like a shotgun (spread), and candela would be like a rifle cartridge's round (distance). If you had a 200 lumen 50,000 candela light and a 500 lumen 15,000 candela light side by side, you would pick the 200 lumen light as being brighter as the intensity is more focused. There's a balance, and most US manufacturers disregard it and sell based solely on lumens, just like with this 20,000 lumen light. |
