Fenix ansi lumens

[tx725]

Hi, firstly excuse my english cause i'm french.

I got my old Fenix L2D premium Q5 olive, still working, realy love it, great flashlight !

I'm going to buy the Fenix E12 as a pocket flashlight.

I've seen that now, it is "ansi lumens".

In low mod : Old L2D : 12 lumens, and E12 : 8 ANSI lumens.

Will the low mods be the same ? or 8 ansi more powerfull than old 12 lumens ?

I hope you understand my question ("lumens" vs "ANSI LUMENS"

Thanks.

I don't know how this will apply to your particular case, but this thread will explain a lot....

To compare the two lights you'll need to know whther the measuremnets for the first one were also weighted for ANSI like the second.
Happy reading...

no, no

both are ansi

however, your eyes will adjust to either 8 or 12
and you can just move 8 closer, to make it as bright on target as 12 farther away

8 will make the battery last longer, think of it as a good thing

also
though 12 is 50% brighter than 8, it is only a small visible change, because our vision is not on linear brightness scale

enjoy your new light
I hope you share your impressions

If you can see the difference between 8 and 12 lumens out of basically the same type of reflector you're eyes are a lot better then mine😀

Hi tx725,

Basically, the outputs are almost the same to our eyes, and all the specifications of Fenix lights are from ANSI standards. 8 lumens makes the light last a little longer. Hope that helps, enjoy your day!
