Hi all,
I'm a paramedic and often ask police or Fire to hold my lamps while I treat a patient - trouble is...I never seem to get them back!
I thought my my XML T6 based "1600lm" zoomable was fine 'till I compared it to a 340lm pen torch and the 340lm blew it out of the water .
I looked for a post that actually has lumens measured for different flashlights but found one 6 years old.
There are so many wild claims of lumens from so many sites - how to find real lumen torches is difficult
Zoomable is really useful and what I need
So I need recommendations of low cost (up to $30 USD) zoomable flashlights up to 6" long that I can buy without ending up with a copy/fake that can be replaced when I lose it
Looking to get 600-1000lm - is that possible?
Thanks in advance - (please could you only reply if you know the real lumens of what you are recommending- not being rude but - "I bought xxxx and it's really bright" is really subjective and not so useful - thanks for understanding)
Kind Regards
Nick
