  There's no chance this is actually 8000 lumens.

    that applies to all torches.

    I felt like kept repeating myself in comment so I stopped. but no flashlight can achieve the maximum claimed constantly.

    most of the time the max lasts between 30 to 120 seconds and then drops and drops in brightness after that.

    found this, so it only does 5600 when you turn it on and drops to about 5000 after 1 min 40 seconds. then drops more quickly after that.

    it does look like it does 3000 constantly though. so it really is a 3000 lumen flashlight.

      to the person who doesn't know how flashlights work. look it up.
      no flashlight is able to work at max claimed brightness constantly from 100% battery to 0% battery. it's just not possible.

      if you believe your flashlight does you have been duped by dodgy marketing.

      what you want to look for on the runtime measured like I linked above, is a flat line at lower brightness level, ideally for over an hour at least. that means the flashlight isn't overheating and it isn't quickly losing battery voltage by doing over what it's capable of. that is what the flashlight is accually capable of doing.

        What's your thoughts on the new LEP laser torches like this one:

        https://ledlenser.com.au/products/p9r-core-lep

        I wouldn't mind one! Torch innovation doesn't happen often, and this seems pretty cool.

          @cerealJay: I looked those up they basically project a wide laser beam. so you get a super intense small circle that goes really far. and because it's so intense you can't really see anything else outside the small circle.

          it's generally not recommended for the average person's use of a flashlight. it's more for seeing something 1000's of metres away or just having fun with.

            @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: It also has a floodlight COB mode, the light cone is very wide in that mode. So it does both extremes - super small "laser" beam, and wide spill floodlight with nothing in between, no option to focus the beam, no strobe feature. I kind of like it for that simple setup.

              @cerealJay: ok sure. just what I read was LEP have very specific uses and not that useful for the average person. so you will probably just end up mostly using the flood light mode.

              but if you live near some huge farm or some buildings or something I guess you could point it really far and light it up.

              edit: what I'm trying to say is for using inside the house, and to light up the backyard or street a LEP is basically useless.

    Yea, but it actually is, the original version of this light was built by a group of us on Budgetlightforum as a community build (BLF Q8). The light was designed by us to meet our specification. It didn't go into production until we got the all criteria right, and one of the criteria was the amount of lumens we wanted.

  If its anything like the sofrin head torch (hs10)? that gets posted often, its bright but only lasts 10 mins. useless without upgrading whatever size that battery is.

  Lol 8000 lumens. I can imagine how HOT this would get at peak brightness. I recently bought a Wuben PL01 pen light. It gets to 650 lumens for 1minute and then throttles back to 'high' level brightness for 1hr after. The end gets HOT! No wonder why it lasts 1min at peak. 8k lumens, could start a fire even if it is only for 1.45mins

  I've had this for about 2 years and it's awesome. It's unbelievably bright, if you fast double click it maxed brightnesses would totally blind an intruder in your home. It's soo bright it hurts.and even pointing at your forearm close Maxed burns your skin. I want to get the next model up soon I think it's 12000lum.
  The Max brightness does thermal throttle depending on ambient temperature after a couple of minutes and the torch will get so hot you can barely hold it. The best thing about this torches that it's thick enough to hold between your neck and your shoulder and still work with both hands. Build quality is Top Notch I highly recommend buying this one and you'll end up buying brighter models.

  How do this compare to Wuben torches?
