Repost. Need help with information war.
I have some friends and such that do not understand candlepower and candela. Perhaps I don't fully get it either. To me, candlepower is the same measurement of intensity as candela, accept, that most companies somehow advertise numbers much higher than they really are. A person has even said so...- Bazar

Yes. They significantly reduced the lumens to get more throw, version I spoke of wasn't even short arc and I was wrong, the 6k lumen version had 1m candela, not 12. Also short arc is completely different than LED- Bazar

The deeper it is the less you have waisted wash light, ditto for not having a lenses.- Bazar

No that isn't what j meant. The reflector has a pure silver coating or rhodium which is more expensive than silver, and from the original maxa beam the 12m candela not the 45m candela one it is 6000 lumens. 100-200$ alone is not cheap. That along with other costs make it way to much money. Raw...- Bazar

Lack of high-powered super throwers
The answer here is clear. Lights go up to a rediculous 50,000,000 candela for short arc 300mm hand helds, and portable battery powered all the way up to 100,000,000 candela. LED lights will not do that unless the technology surprises us with a rediculous leap. And, LED flashlights have yet...- Bazar

Lack of high-powered super throwers
Further as for the original question the answer is the target market. Things like the maxabeam(12,000,000 candela, literally, real not fake) actually use an expensive amount of raw materials, legitimate silver and solid blocks carved out for the reflector, as well as (get this) optical lenses...- Bazar

Lack of high-powered super throwers
Well that is ansi. And a 400 meter flashlight only throws useable light 200m. Then from there more intensity might be needed, like in the rain when 80% of light bounces off the ground, in which case producing light with 4 times the intensity will do what a 400m light does in the dry. Which is...- Bazar
