    Output of a camera flash in lumens?

    This is the embodiment of why flashes don't have high lumens. Flashes are imperceptible to eyes, and thus make them average out over half to a full second if not at least 10 htz, the frequency of brainwaves, reducing the average luminous output of flashes to fractions so low even 4-10k lumens...

    Output of a camera flash in lumens?

    560 square millimeters is significantly smaller than 1,000,000 square meters, or 16% which is roughly 160,000 square millimeters, not 20x27. Thus making your calculation way less than 6, million lumens.

    Tough keychain flashlight

    I have a AAA rayovac that is claimed indestructible and has worked great. Uses plastic, a much better material for the pocket. Pathetic output but it works. I also use the Folomov EDC2 and the Fenix LD02 v2 which are small lights with no key ring.

    major screw-up?

    Don't turn it on till you dry it out. Water might be in there and let it work, but electric damage can happen if you run it with the water in there

    whats the biggest edc light you carried daily?

    I carried the LR40R for 2 months every day regardless of the time of day. Even if I went out from 7am to 5 pm. At light I lug the K75 around on a shoulder strap for a dedicated night shift or outing. I should clarify that I EDCed the Acebeam X80GT for over 19 months without almost ever leaving...

    whats the biggest edc light you carried daily?

    I carried the Fenix LR40R for 2 months. Excellent holster makes it possible. Without it I always carried the X80GT since I got it. I also carried the K30gt since I got it. Guess what, if you carry something every day without putting it into a backpack, it is an EDC light. For me the X80gt and...

    can a led ever throw as far as this?

    Probably some day. The Imalent next advancement of LED is planning on a multi emitter SBT90.2 capable of over 20k lumens and over 3m candela. The Astrolux MF05 has 2.5m candela. That maxabeam might not really have 12m candela, I'd have to see someone do a 20 meter test and they have zero...

    Small thrower, preferably 18650 with minimum spill

    I have the lumintop GTmicro VN. With 120k candela, it is quite ridiculous. The GT mini VN has over 300k candela, and 1200 lumens, making it theow close to the W10 from acebeam with a spill for walking your dog without stepping in its messes. The main Number One problem with HID spotlights as...

    Acebeam L30 - some major issues??

    I have the exact problem. THE PROBLEM IS THE 21700 ACEBEAM BATTERY I contacted acebeam and used the battery in various lights, it is not working properly anymore. Get a fenix protected or just totally unprotected button top 21700 instead. P.S. I highly recommend against Acebeam 21700s. Their...

    Acebeam new K75 2500m throw 6300lm flashlight now presenting

    Every single one of those reviewers uses a box with less than 3 lux meters. If you run the math 1.5mill candela isn't possible with the candlepower @ the LED from 4400 lumens, and that size area reflector. Vihn 'Win' has the most accurate, a sphere with a refraction mylar cover over the lux...

    Can LED lights now throw at the same level as HID?

    First of LEDs need deep reflectors instead of bowl reflectors, because they have a flat light source instead of an arc or wire. // unrelated \\ so In my opinion LEDs are not at hid level yet. But we are getting close. I see much more promising increases of LED flashlight throw over the next...

    ACEBEAM K75 Review

    The INR cells are what I plan to use. Just get button tops and if needed, lightly solder a small steel plate to the negative of the battery or just bend the springs a little. In my X80GT and K30GT I bent the springs of the holder a little to use flattop cells just fine.

    Acebeam new K75 2500m throw 6300lm flashlight now presenting

    Said who? People with cardboard boxes and 1 lux meter for lumen spheres? Measure this in a 10,000 dollar lumensphere, then tell me it isn't at least 6,000. In fact I did the math, for this reflector to get that throw the surface of the LED must be at least 6,000 lumens to get the required...

    Acebeam new K75 2500m throw 6300lm flashlight now presenting

    Yes, and counterwise, they have to maintain that power. There is no "low" mode Haha, if you will. You got 30 minutes of light, a couple thousand hours of bulb life at that power level, limited battery life and enough weight and price two k75s should be used mounted together (take up less volume...

    Acebeam K30GTvn

    I don't think that works. You could have a wider head but for the same dimensional requirement you would have less throw and a wider spill with less corrona.
