Just got a new light off the Brown truck. What do you do? Load it up and compare it to the others. The ceilings, trees, and neighbors houses get lit up, and you stand back amazed at progress.
I fired up my new Maratac AAA with a new Energizer lithium, and dragged out the previous hot dog in my cheap collection, the Energizer Lithium AA, with the push adjusting clicky. Out on the deck, let's hope dry leaves don't catch fire!
Not so much. The Energizer, in this corner with a 65 lumen rating and donut beam, clearly washes out the 80 lumen Maratac.
Aannnnd, I already set up a showdown with a coworker against his old Rock River projector. Looks like crow is coming up on the lunch menu. At least it's all in fun.
Am I disappointed in Maratac, no. It's a great light, and clearly out performs the Microstream I've carried for two years.
The real issue: is 65 lumens brighter than 80? If you have both, check yours and see. Maybe not? I'd like to know, it's NOT a QC issue a far as I care. More like, an intro into marketing and the industry.
