    Which current models have the highest CONSTANT lumen output.

    Just checked. High is 800lm with 260m range for about 3h when the batteries die.

    Which current models have the highest CONSTANT lumen output.

    OK. I'll see what I can come up with. If I write to manufacturers, I wonder if they will respond. I can at least give it a go.

    Which current models have the highest CONSTANT lumen output.

    I don't know about others, but I would find it really useful to have an updated table as a sticky. Also highest constant output beam distance. This could be really useful in assessing which model to acquire for industrial or search and rescue applications.

    Is this really advancement?

    This is a very sober and balanced assessment. Thanks.

    Is this really advancement?

    It appears some of these ultra high lumen flashlights are exactly that. They flash their overdrive for a few seconds or a minute or two. Traditionally a flashlight was something used on a camera. A torch is used for a constant output. (Pedantic word jugglery, but why not?).

    It would be useful for manufacturers to quote the max steady state output for their products. Then state the the overdrive spec. (There is no such thing as a "turbo" on a flashlight. That is just bullish*t for ignorant consumers).

    Is this really advancement?

    In the lumens race there are more and more manufacturers offering greater output but only for a few minutes. Is it really an advancement to have some led overdriven to 5k lumens for a few seconds? (exaggeration for dramatic effect. But you know what I mean)

    New Product Announcement: NITECORE NEW P30 Long Range Hunting Flashlight

    It does not appear you need an external charger since this battery has a USB C socket built in for charging. (or am I misunderstanding something?).

    New Product Announcement: NITECORE NEW P30 Long Range Hunting Flashlight

    Am I not understanding something? These "21700" actually 21750 cells don't need a charger because they have an inbuilt charger in the extra 5mm with a USB C socket. No?

    Nitecore P30 vs Lumintop GT Mini. Thoughts?

    Thanks. I'll take a look.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I used my Led Lenser P7R to look for my Nitecore TipCree under the sofa and behind furniture, which if I hadn't owned, I wouldn't have had to look for. So there we have it. Flashlights are really useful to look for lost flashlights.

    What are Nitecore like as a company?

    Thanks. Shows they have thought about the recoil issue if used on guns. We don't have guns in the UK. No need. But that's another discussion. ( A few have licenses for shooting rabbits etc)

    Thanks. Helps me to understand how some of the brands are positioned.

    What are Nitecore like as a company?

    Thanks for your reply. I used to work in electronics so understand the vulnerabilities. I guess one has to bite the bullet and pay a little extra from a reputable dealer. Just that I notice the going rate in the US is $79.95 and in the UK (where I am) is £79.95. But $79.95 converts to £61.28 at...
