\"UCL, baby!\" -Mr. Bulk
I remember way back in the day, Mr. Bulk was preaching UCL was a must. Well, Mr. Bulk's word is gospel to me (cause I don't know any better. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif) and I took his advice, purchased a bunch of UCLs and decided to do my own testing.
The results were quite impressive and I must concur with Mr. Bulk, UCL is a must for any high performance flashlight.
Below are my results:
*Test conditions:
-Lux readings are 1 meter away
-I took the lux reading three separate instances (morning, afternoon, night) for each flashlight with stock lens and with UCL
-I took the average of the three readings
As you can see, UCL clearly increases the light output for each flashlight. So like Mr. Bulk said, if you want to increase the output of your flashlights by ~10%, "UCL, baby!" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
