A friend was at the Sportsman's show in Cleveland and went by the Olight booth. They had the SR90 selling it for retail 449.99. The rep was showing it off to him. My buddy told him he's got a light that blows it away. Well, I guess the dealer was a little taken back, since he told him the big Olight was the most powerful single LED light you can get. So he told them that I've got a M@GLite that blows it away. Well they guy said that M@Gs aren't even close. My friend told him, "well i've got mine in the truck, I'll get it."
Now my friend went out and brought back his VP2K 4500k, way awesome color temp BTW. He had it ready at like 4 clicks up, out of 30ish, from the lowest setting. They guy's happy to see he was right cause at that setting it looks like a normal M@G. Then my friend said hold on let me turn it up a little. He flicks it up to full power and blows the bigger light away. The guy is like, umm that's not stock is it. Nope, it's got rechargeable batteries, my friend tells him.
I know it's a pissing contest but it's nice to show the bigger manufactures that they need to keep on their toes if they want to impress us. I think when you make claims about the brightest or whatever you should pay a 12yr old to do google search. But I doubt this guy will ever doubt a M@glite.
