I have an MG PLI with the standard cool white emitter. I would like to know what the actual out-the-front lumens are for comparing it to new lights. Anybody measured it?
I don't have any way to do an actual lumens measurement (few do) but I do have a light meter, and a small room with a white ceiling that allows at least relative comparisons to other lights that I have. Here is the results of a set of measurements I made one day with the lights I had lying around:
As you can see, the MG PLI compares favorably to other small MC-E lights, and outputs less than the bigger ones.
