And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Truly astonishingly bad design. People actually get paid a salary to design crap like this? I know! Let's see if we can put a few more more really sharp corners on it........
I actually own this exact flashlight. It is of decent quality and is as bright as my large Maglight with the good high output led bulb. What I like most is the rechargeable feature which with good battery care had lasted me three years and still works great. I try to always recharge at between 30 to 40% and never run it too low. However the advertised output of 250000 lumens is laughably inaccurate. I imagine they are leaving out a decimal place somewhere in that number.
Ny Amazon review...."This flashlight is NOWHERE close to the advertised specifications and claims! While it may be fairly bright at close distances, their claim of "Illuminating" objects up to 800+ yards away is blatantly FALSE! It might be visible from 800+ yards away, but it does NOT "Illuminate" objects that far away! Power button popped off on first time switching it on! 250,000 Lumens is an ABSURD claim. I focused it for "Spotlight" mode and my Streamlight UltaStinger LED COMPLETELY washed it out!! It may make a nice bright light for CLOSE distances, but it is absolutely worthless for anything more than a few hundred feet away, and even then, it still is NOT as they claim!! I'll keep it just because it's a hassle to return, and it will come in handy for up close work, but, it is in NO WAY anywhere CLOSE to their claimed performance....I am BEYOND disappointed!! I do NOT recommend this light if you are thinking it meets their claims. And, Yes, I do know what I am talking about, I have probably 50+ flashlights and am ALWAYS looking for something brighter than my best....this AIN'T IT!!"
That's strong enough to use as a welder. Is 250000 lumens really practical?
ReplyDeleteI was given one of these for Christmas a few years ago - truly an astonishing light.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the re charge time?
DeleteAnd when the internal battery dies?
ReplyDeleteTry reading the reviews, sorted for most recent. That sifts out the five star reviews that 'came' with the product listing.
