How many lumens is daylight? I'm satisfied with that.

are you sure youre a flashaholic? sure you can walk around in the semi dark...but wheres the fun in that? :nana:I still don't get this.. I walk in the woods with no light if there's some moon. Doesn't have to be a full moon, just enough. Much more enjoyable than stabbing around with a bright light.
Everybody is popping off solid numbers. What I'd like to know is how you know with such certainty how many lumens your flashlights are producing?

Those of you that mention needing XXX lumens at work, please mention what that work is. I'm dying of curiousity, are they doing pre-flights on a 747?, forestry?, police work?
Are you sure you are IN the woods? With a canopy of leaves or pine needles blocking the light?
My friends and I have done some testing ...
With a FULL moon you can see where you are going if you are on a path.
Some of the places where we hike the "path" is on your GPS.
So, the light is really to see things that hinder progress (thick brush, that little creek you are about to step into, that root that is about to twist your ankle, etc...)
Sure, path hiking can be done with a little keychain led ... but where is the fun in that?
Maybe you use LED lights in the woods? That will ruin your experience because of poor depth perception and poor coloration.
anyway...I too doubt your flashaholism!
