I am a pro drag racer /speed shop owner on the side. I was at a swap meet ( like a flee market with car parts and such)
I saw a table with flashlights..ALL of you know I had to check it out.Alot of the usual copies and junk..shower heads and such. Quite a few you see on ebay.
Then I saw it !!
Box said " Worlds brightest handheld flashlight" The box claimed somthing like 96 000 000 000 micro candella or micro candlepower somthing heh
It had 26..YES I said 26 "cree" LEDs and 24+ hours run time to boot.
Light was made in..get this "Chiawan"..all for 13 bucks!!!
The guy let me fire it up first. Was 20 somthing normal LEDs not cree..1/2 were not working.Was very flimsey and 1/5 of a thread held the head on...instructions had a warning somthing about DO NOT TIGHTEN HEAD WILL CAUSE DAMAGE..beam was dim,sad and quite blue.
I busted out my Tiny T5 amilight.and he laughed..they I hit the button and blinded him. He said it was the brightest light he had ever seen and asked if it had a "magnesium" filiment or somthing AND it was easily 15+ million candlepower.
It blows me away just how many crappy..scratch that.>REALLY crappy lights are for sale.And how many people buy them.
lol I may retire from cool flashlights when the 100 LED mark is broken haha
my brother bet me in less then a year they will have 100+..we have seen 50 or so in "shower head config"
enough ranting
my 2 cents
