NO, it's very dim compared to almost any LS based light. The only one I have that is dimmer is the UK 4AA eLED. But, both have their good points - very long runtime and ample output for around-the-house tasks such as looking behind computers, stereo systems, etc. If you have a couple of very bright lights, you'll appreciate the PT Impact XL because it won't blind you when used at close range.
