Any info on this light? 400 lumens seems high.

Like most ebay light descriptions they are just pulling numbers out of their behind.

Actually it is not "18 watt," it is "18W." Who really knows what that means, it's probably just a model number intended to be misleading.

400lumens from that P.O.S!!?? :green: YEAH RIGHT

Even a Malkoff M60 doesn't claim that!!!

The beam pattern is like a stock mag... with a big hole in the middle!!

All a bunch of marketing lies.

Luxeon doesn't make a 18 watt 400 lumen LED(well none that I know of). Either way, that would be really inefficient(22 lumen per watt) and have bad runtime.

Are you allowed to report false advertisement and way overpricing?

6.15inch LED?!?!?!? :crackup:

Flic · Apr 4, 2008

Shameful! I hope he is also lying about these currently being used by troops in Iraq...

forrest · Apr 4, 2008

From what I can tell these are the romisen rc-13, he changed it to "cr"-13, probably bought a bunch and making a few dollars on them, kinda rude that he reversed the "rc" and is calling it the cr, and jacking up the specs, what a joke!

Fird · Apr 5, 2008

haha, try 40 lumens if you're lucky

Yapo · Apr 7, 2008

Haha lol...did u guys see the video on the ebay link? that video cracked me up!
...its called "Superfire 18W400L" Its the letters "W" & "L" not "Watts" & "Lumens"

"Made to last! Superfire...the extreme beam machine!"

TORCH_BOY · Apr 7, 2008

It probably uses 18 watts of power to develop 3 watts of light

Illum · Apr 7, 2008

now that in all likelyhood is possible
18 watts of heat is not hard to generate...especially if the PCB [if any] is pulling over 1 amp on fresh batteries :crackup:
