Brightest LED Flashlight Ever Made?

[dudemar]

Just read this article:

While I'm sure it's bright, I don't think it's the brightest LED flashlight ever made. I hope this is just a misnomer of the article.

Outside of custom creations such as the Data Bank 70 and the upcoming ElektroLumens Wall-of-Fire (4 x P7), the brightest LED in a traditional, cylindrical form factor would probably be the Wiseled Tactical.

No big deal on the lumen rating I think but it's a good looking light and seems fairly reasonably priced. A little big perhaps for two 123's I think. I might try one

lol. It's dangerous claiming yours is ever the brightest, unless you have a 1KW HID (and then someone will come along with a tank light!)

LOL! Next maglite will be trying out that trick!

"The Brightest LED Flashlight Ever Made"...
I think they may have left out the "...by Dorcy" at the end

Brightest LED flashlight? That light wouldn't even make top ten on my dining room table.

Hmmmm, you'll have to make it across Pa for the next Photon Fest in Califon, NJ to witness the Data Bank 70--competition for Tank lights and blows away the "little guys" like my Barn Burner and Polarion 50--something I'll wager you Don't have on your dining room table.

Maybe its the brightest LED Flashlight every made by Dorsy? Perhaps that is a true statement.

yeah it's beating a dead horse but my Nitecore Extreme puts out more lumens and it runs on one cr123a cell.

You're probably right, the heading should've looked something like:

Brightest LED Flashlight Ever Made... by Dorcy.

160 lumens. . . . brightest ever. . . .

Just for the record, everyone should know that Dorcy is responsible for the press release headline, and not myself or FlashlightNews. While I do edit headlines for space reasons, if the company's original title for the release fits OK, I use it...after all, it is their press release, not mine.

To be honest, I had a pretty good laugh when I saw the title, and even thought about making a policy exception and changing it because it's so obviously misleading and inaccurate. But I figure most flashlight buyers, and especially fellow hobbyists, can see though the hype pretty easily without me doing anything about it.

 

[f22shift]

is it at least the brightest department store flashlight?

 

[Mark620]

A P1D puts out 180 lumen that thing only puts out 160 Lumen....

 

[DaveYoungman]

Makes sense to me. Geez actually attributing some intelligence to fellow flash-freaks. Now that's a rare thing on the Net. We appreciate the compliment.
