Here is some more technical info on how the sphere works
The sphere was built using match's build guide here. Click Here
Once the sphere is built you need to measure the readings of a good group of lights with known outputs. Nitecore, Olight, zebralight etc are all good options as they use ANSI values for their outputs and no fake "OMG 4000 lumen" off one single XML T6. After taking around 20 measurements of different lights and comparing the readings to the output we can establish a correction factor.
For example:
Nitecore EA4
lumen /mode / factor /lux reading
860 Turbo 7.6279069767 6560
550 High 7.5454545455 4150
300 Mid 7.3333333333 2200
135 Low 7.8518518519 1060
65 Lower 7.6923076923 500
After establishing an average of many lights you can then use that "corrective factor" on unknown lights.
For example:
x60vn - reading of 50600 taken at 30 sec
50600 / 7.66365 (average corrective factor) = 6603 lumens
Throw is measured at 8 meters and calculated back to 1 meter.

Here is some more technical info on how the sphere works
The sphere was built using match's build guide here. Click Here
Once the sphere is built you need to measure the readings of a good group of lights with known outputs. Nitecore, Olight, zebralight etc are all good options as they use ANSI values for their outputs and no fake "OMG 4000 lumen" off one single XML T6. After taking around 20 measurements of different lights and comparing the readings to the output we can establish a correction factor.
For example:
Nitecore EA4
lumen /mode / factor /lux reading
860 Turbo 7.6279069767 6560
550 High 7.5454545455 4150
300 Mid 7.3333333333 2200
135 Low 7.8518518519 1060
65 Lower 7.6923076923 500
After establishing an average of many lights you can then use that "corrective factor" on unknown lights.
For example:
x60vn - reading of 50600 taken at 30 sec
50600 / 7.66365 (average corrective factor) = 6603 lumens
