I know that lumen ratings vary from one manufacturer to the next and I have never had any experience with Surefire but it seems that the lumen rating for Surefire lights are always listed lower than other quality brands like Fenix, Quark, Olight, Eagle Tac, Zebra and others. When comparing Lumen ratings of Surefire with comparable lights from these other companies, I find that Surefire will be listed at 200 lumens while the other companies will be listed at 300-500 lumins. Does Surefire list their lumens different than these other companies or are the Surefire lights not as bright as these other brands? Are the Surefire lights really any better than other top quality lights from other quality dealers or is it just an ego thing of having Surefire engraved on the side?
