Hi everyone,
Been reading here for a while while shopping for a light, but this is my first post. This Christmas my kind family, knowing I was in the market for a small, powerful flashlight after hurricane Sandy left us in the dark, bought me a t7 Led Lensor for the holiday. Now I know their lights are pretty divisive around here, and I'm not hoping to start a debate. At first I was planning to return it for a Fenix. However, the light has really grown on me. It's as powerful as my Browning headlamp (nitro) that runs on c123, uses batteries I can easily exchange with neighbors in a storm, and the focus is actually great for the woods. I get a nice wide path close up, and can zoom in to check out a strange noise further away (I spend a lot of time in the woods). Anyway...
The box says it has a max of 175 lumens. The company website says 200. I have no doubt that these numbers are inaccurate in general. But I'm also aware that the technology changes frequently with this brand. How do I find out if my lamp has the newest LED for the model line, and which LED that is? The box doesn't say and the website doesn't say.
Any ideas? I want to be sure they didn't purchase older merchandise and the newer t7 is better equipped.
