Fraz Labs Mechanical Flashlights (formerly QTC Non-Battery Crush)

Yes. There newest one is the The Lumenite II. It takes a21700 or 26650. It's way more than 40-500 lumens it's probably more like1000-1200. Run test are hard with the QTC. To many veritable.

Too many variables what?

Can the light hold at least 400 lumens without overheating or the brightness output creeping up or down, or what?

Again, it seems to me that people only get these lights cause the qtc thing is interesting, but nobody actually uses their light day in day out.

I use my lights almost nightly basis.

I have no need for interesting toys, I buy reliable tools. I need to know how the light performs.

What I’m saying is with the QTC you can’t dial in 400 lumens. You would have to have a light box to measure output. I do not use QTC in my lights it’s off or on.

The QTC varies on output depending on how tightly the head is turned. It can also vary depending on its age; as it is compressed over time, there’s less variability in brightness.

Can the light hold at least 400 lumens without overheating or the brightness output creeping up or down, or what?

It’ll creep up and down; it’ll even flicker when turned on. Usually it settles to a brightness after a few seconds.

Again, it seems to me that people only get these lights cause the qtc thing is interesting, but nobody actually uses their light day in day out.

The QTC is interesting and quirky. I use my Tiny Tank almost every night. I also use Peak Eiger and El Capitan lights with QTCs.

FrazLabs lights will likely disappoint you if you’re looking for consistent numbers. They’re solid and almost impossible to break; however runtime graphs and lumen measurements are not really part of the package.
