Isn't it amazing what you can find on the web! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I'm a consumer who thought he was getting a good deal, but now I'm not so sure. I'm wanting to return some flashlights I purchased as gifts, but am sorely disappointed in the products I received.
The item in question is a portable flashlight unit advertised as producing "1.5 million candlepower". Now I know this sounds crazy, and I really didn't expect a portable unit to be that bright, but I did expect it to be exceptionally bright. However, upon receiving this unit, I found that the output didn't even compare to my mini-maglite! I am about to return them, but the company from which they were purchased states that "any product found not to be defective will be returned to the buyer". So now I suppose I'll need to prove that the flashlight does not indeed produce "1.5 million candlepower". On another website, I learned that,"...one candlepower equivalent equals 12.57 lumens." Is this to say that 1.5M candlepower is equivalent to 18.85M lumens!?! That would seem a bit absurd to me.
Any help that could be offered in bolstering my argument with this company would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks from Atlanta GA!
