Have a dumb question about Nuwai Q3...

[KDOG3]

I see that in some descriptions that it says it puts out 75 lumens. That can't be right. Whats the actual output?

20ish

I agree with GarageBoy. If the light puts out 75 lumens then I'll eat my Q3!

 

[woolfam]

So, TruBlue, would that be a "light snack"?

 

[TrueBlue]

lol...good come back!

According to Results of Integrating Sphere Tests
Nuwai Q-III TYOK = 25.4 Lumens

 

[KDOG3]

Thought so. I saw the description at Advancemart that said Ouptut: 75 Lumens and I was like "no way", so I had to ask. Thanks all...

If you configured it for direct drive on an R123 with the best T-bin possible, you might see 75 torch lumens for the first minute or so of operation.

75 is lumens outright dishonest marketing my opinion says. Judging by my Q3s and comparing them against other lights I own, I'd estimate 30-35 lumens. For example, both of my Q3s light up a room to much greater effect than my Streamlight Luxeon Jrs (rated at if I remember right 30 lumens). Different type beams might also account for this, so I'd say the Nuwai could be as low as 25 lumens .

I haven't shined up my fork and spoon yet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nana.gif

If the Q3 is putting out 75 lumens then my LongBow Micra and my SL ProPoly Lux is putting out 85 lumens. Nope, none of the lights are beaming that much. I wish they were! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If they are "T" bins, they would have a max output of around 87.4 lumens. Does my QIII have to have a stock power source for you to eat yours? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[MaxaBaker]

Mine is definitly not 25 lumens. I'd guessa closer to 40 comparing it to other lights.

There's no free lunch. Take 1 CR123 and factor in the runtime, and that will predict the output.

I don't particularly want to see TrueBlue have to eat a Q3.....

Isn't "75 lumens" simply just using the typical spec of a 3 watt Luxeon?

Just like a lot of 1 watt Luxeon flashlights use "30 lumens" from the spec from LumiLEDs?

3 of them taped together with 3 new batteries will. but that would be a Q III-3.
