Hi guys,
I received my TK12 R5 today. No counting my old Mags, would be my first REAL flashlight.
In any case, imagine my confusion when the box read Cree XP-G R5 BUT only 245 Lumens!!!
I did some searches on the net and realised it is probably because Fenix have recently started reporting their products according to the ANSI/NEMA FL1-2009 standards which I suspect is more stringent and thus the Tk12 R5 no longer advertises as 285 Lumens...
Check out the standard tests here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO_l5ciKsPg
Anybody knows for sure if my deductions are right?
Thanks
