Hi:
I have read all the stuff here about how they do their "overall output" ratings:
http://www.flashlightreviews.com/features/output_vs_throw.htm
I have no arguments against the use of the crude integrating carton. In fact, it should be possible to get a reasonable correlation with lumens using this apparatus. And in fact, lumens seems to be approximately 1.43 times the overall output value.
What puzzles me is that a Innova T4 (according to Briteguy) and a Surefire L2 are supposed to produce 100 lumens. But they have widely differing overall output values of 27.0 vs. 89.0 respectively on FlashlightReviews..
Also, the Innova XO3 and T3 are slightly higher than the T4, even though the former are rated 80 lumens vs. 100 for T4.
Do Innova T3/T4 do 80/100 lumens or are they much less?
Does Innova have a home page?
Thanks!
