I have always had this belief that technology advances exponentially. No clue if this is true or not but the older I get the more plausible it seems. We made more progress between 1900-2000 than we did between 1700-1800 due to more discoveries to build upon. The same has proved to gen true in the LED world. Especially in 2017. The past few mosts I've been having a very hard time keeping up with which LED flashlights produce the most light.
I remember when the Nitecore TM26 was top 5 at 4000 lumens. Now their TM28 at 6000 lumens is Childs play. Olight came out with the x7 at 9000 lumens. The Imalent DT70 produces 12,500 lumens and the acebeam x45 beat that by 16,500 lumens. Now olight is coming out with the x9 rated at 25,000 lumens!
What is the brightest non-modded LED flashlight in production (or planned to be produced soon) today??
How about throwers? Is the thrunite TN42 at 1550m still the top LED thrower out there?
