Is there a quick way to esitmate torch lumens for the Lumen Factory lamps?

[fire-stick]

Is it not that simple or can I just multiply bulb lumens x like .75, or .60... I'm just lookin for a balpark # ..

I've got the estimated torch lumens on nearly every possible size of li-ion cell configuration and tactical lamp assembly in the compatibility chart.... click on the link in my signature.

A ballpark figure can be determined by just multiplying by 0.65, however, you can't necessarily compare that figure to any other manufacture that is claiming torch lumens, because every manufacture seems to use different methods. Lumens Factory is the only one that is using a nice standardized method of listing true bulb specifications at a given voltage.

If you are going to use a configuration that isn't listed, (like on CR123 primaries) and would like an estimate, I'd be happy to figure it out for ya.

So it's still gonna be 500ish lumens on the Wolf-Eyes M90 series RattleSnake w/LRB168 extender?

? EO-13 ?

 

[LED61]

Yup, if it's the EO 13 about 480. My M6-MN21 still beats it by quite a bit.

The Rattlesnake 13V sells at $139.95. The EO-13 is $24.99.
The M6 is $399.00.

Buy 2 Rattlesnake and 2 EO-13 and strap it together with duct-tape for around $330. Then you can get a light that beats the M6 in price and output. LOL.

Based on my calculation, I think the LF EO-13 is as bright as the SF MN61, no?

 

[Mark@LF]

Paul5M,

I was just joking around.

Funny, but true :laughing:

depends on how you run the MN61. On 4x CR123s it would be in the same ballpark with the EO-13 on say, 3x18650s. But if you took the MN61 and ran it on that same 3x18650 it would blow the EO-13 totally out of the water, being overdriven to the tune of about 1150 bulb lumens.

Mdocod, I think you mean the MN61 right ? Nugget has tried running the MN61 two stacks of 3 each unprotected R123's in the M6 with results similar to what you are saying. We don't know yet how the bulb fares at this overdriven configuration though.

 

[mdocod]

sorry... misprint yes meant MN61

As far as longevity goes, assuming the MN61 is a ~50 hour bulb on primaries, then it's probably not going to last (on average) any longer than about 5-10 hours on li-ion.
