Chumens
It's pronounced "Rumens"
Jet Li, not Jet Ri.
Nope, these are the real deal with a decent battery. OP should really amend the title
6700 Chinese Lumens ≈ A candle light :-)
"Chinese Lumens" LOL, they're not very bright!! Um, the lumens not the Chinese!
Ouch
Chinese Lumens = Lumens that change randomly - Typical products.
Hey OP maybe put the company in the title
Contrary to what the title says, this light is the real deal - this review measures output as high as 7550 lumens on the turbo setting.
It uses genuine Cree XHP50.2 emitters and has a sweet open source custom firmware, if you're on the fence - there's also a single emitter EC01 for a bit less.
Are there any trouble s getting torches into the country not lazers?
No trouble at all, I collect torches like ozbargain collects eneloops.
Thsts good to know. Torches ar e a good use for enerloops too
Pretty impressive flashlight for its size based on the review video. The only issue will be remembering all the different combinations of taps on the button if you haven't used it in a while. Sometimes keeping it simple is better. Also, on boost mode it must drain the battery pretty quick (noting it doesn't come with batteries).
I have the one with 3x50.2 Cree LEDs. It produces around 7000 lumens peak for a short time on Turbo. There are lots of reviews of it too. Excellent flashlight but you'll need a high performance 21700 battery. I use a Samsung 40T or 30T that I purchased off an AU Ebay seller.
I have built my own XHP 50.2 Cree LED driver light. Each one of them only produces 1900lumens at max drive current of 6000mA if you are supplying 3V. As I am running a 12V supply@1500mA drive current. What ever the OP is mentioning is beyond it's specification, plus without proper heat venting/cooling mechanism, it will never ever deliver specified in the advertisement. I always take all these sellers specification with a grain of a salt.
In theory you can get them to ~2,500 lumen or more each with the right driver eg. FET. See cree specs.https://www.cree.com/led-components/landing-pages/xhp
There are a number of flashlights on the market which are 10,000 lumen with 3 x 50.2XHP (https://lumintop.com/product/fw21pro/). The peak on the EC03 is very brief in duration as the flashlight heats up fast as it's drawing ~25A or so from the battery. The thermal protection kicks in dropping the output as it's not a large faslhlight.I disagree, there are many independent reviews that show this light hits its 6700 lumen spec. 1 and 2.
Cree's specifications for emitters are conservative as they prioritise longevity, the XHP50.2 is capable of much more than the 1900 in the spec if you are happy to run
it harder. See output tests here and here, where they are producing 5000 lumens each.Yes, I know these are the 6V, and the flashlight uses the 3V, but the individual emitters (4 XPL in a single die) used are the same, just in a different configuration (2S2P vs 1S4P).
Anduril UI
Chef's kissI'm tempted but I ordered a d4v2
f4nb0i !!!
Get both :D
I think I might. But I don't have any 21700 batteries. Might just use a spare 18650.
I get Grand Total:AU$60.29 with shipping, tax and insurance. Paid AU$71.25 in September.
Brilliant, bright torch. Not a lot of range but sure floods up the backyard.
Get the holster while you're at it for $5
Not Chinese lumens the 3v XHP50.2 will easily do over 3000 lumens each. You will need a high drain cell of at least 30amps to get good results.
May I ask what's the duration, minutes or hours based on various brightness/settings?
The run time isnt a simple one to assess on various settings as the UI is very sophisticated and also depends on the battery used. I have mine on stepped ramping so that there are maybe 6 steps between the lowest mode and the top. On top of this you have turbo mode. Some prefer smooth ramping. This is different to most flashlights which have say 3 modes, low, medium and high. I recall doing a run test on mine starting on turbo mode. The brightness dropped off after start up to a lower brightness level where the thermal management took effect. It may have then run for a couple of hours and I gave up. Brightness was down to maybe 20% or so of the peak for aorund 2 hours. I stopped eventually so didnt work out when it eventually turned off.
These flashlights are very good, i've got a few Astrolux lights and they perform really well with good batteries, a lot of the time outputting more lumens than stated. Definitely not "Chinese lumens".
No chinese lumens here, this is the real deal and will get hot faaaaaaaast
Best title ever.
How does that work? So we divide by 10 to get the real lumens?
