Are they rated conservatively like SureFire, or very optimistic like the Chinese lights?

TIA

They are rated like Surefire. They spec "out the front of the light lumens". Most companies rate emitter lumens, then you have losses at the reflector and the lens.

Thanks. That's how I hoped it was.

Not only that, they have the nicest beam I've seen. No dark rings!

At 120 lumens, it's almost as bright as my NDI (190 lumens - emitter).
