Newly Enlightened
A few weeks ago I got myself a SF 8NX in addition to my older 6P model, because I wanted to have a little more light-output (the lower runtime-cost was a factor too)...
Then I realized that the 6P (with 65 lumens) is a bit brighter (maybe 10%) than the 8NX (110 lumens) with fully charged batteries.
How can this be??? I thought "lumens" was something one can measure, so 110 lumens should be brighter, shouldn´t it?
Or is the 8NX simply focused in a different way? Also the 6P light seems more white to me than the somewhat more yellow 8X light (even if fully charged).
I asked Surefire by e-mail, but they seem to not know the reason...they simply say that the 8X should be brighter.
Can anybody help me on that???? (Please excuse my english, I´m not a native speaker).
Thanks for your help!!!
