@zakreviews2623 8 часов назад

As an experienced flashlight reviewer, I'm glad to see someone put instrumented tests in front of such a large audience. I did note a few things during the video which I hope will be helpful for the next time you do a video on lights: Some of the lights were producing scanlines in the video, indicating they use PWM (rapid flickering) for brightness control. This is not obvious to human eyes until either the light source or an illuminated object moves quickly, but can be disorienting when it does, and can be a problem if the light is used to illuminate a photo or video. Flashlight reviewers generally consider this a flaw. Color rendering is an important trait for some applications. Color temperature (blue/yellow balance), tint (red/green balance), and color rendering index are all relevant to color rendering. Most LEDs underrepresent a large fraction of the spectrum daylight provides, leading to washed out colors. The Sofirn's flood LED and the Zebralight have much higher CRI than the others. Comparing runtime in the highest mode when the sustained brightness differs greatly doesn't seem like a very useful test. Perhaps time over a certain number of lumens or candela, starting in the lowest mode that hits that number would be a good way to compare. I don't think the Zebralight was on its highest mode. It claims 1568 lumens, and every independent test of a Zebralight I have seen found it was at or very near its claimed output. The Olight battery is proprietary, having an extra contact. While most lights from most brands can use batteries of the correct size from other brands, the Olight cannot. Many people consider this a significant flaw.

@mrtdiver 8 часов назад

Yeah, you really need a flashalholic to do flashlight reviews. We really care about the quality of the light. Things like you mentioned. PWM (rapid flickering) - just like the garbage fluorescent lights. And color rendering index. I really like my Zebralights. They seem to be built like tanks.

@umchoyka 17 часов назад

Electrical engineer here. Just for reference for those shopping for spot lighting products like flashlights or headlamps: An actual 30,000 lumen fixture using standard output LEDs by necessity would require a rectangular form factor of something like 24" x 12" x 4" (120 cm x 60 cm x 20cm) just for the LEDs and drivers alone and would consume ~300W. Higher output LEDs might shrink that size a little bit but the power consumption would increase correspondingly. For reference, a li-ion battery that weighs 1kg (2.2lbs) could output about 330W for an hour. Claims of 100,000 lumens would require triple the power output of that example fixture. Also claiming 8 hour battery life at that power output means you'd expect to be carrying 24kg (50lbs) of battery, not to mention the weight of the light and drivers themselves.

@mattgmann 16 часов назад

This isn't exactly true. There are plenty of LEDs capable of producing 120-200 lumen/watt. A Lumintop Mach 4695 puts out 24000+ real lumens with 8 xhp50.3 LEDs. There are in fact consumer lights that can produce 100,000 lumens. They are actively cooled monsters with large custom battery packs. They're also very, very expensive.

@youling1997 16 часов назад

highest brightness only lasts seconds to minutes.

@umchoyka 16 часов назад

@@mattgmann These calcs are from a fixture with 168 lumens / watt @ 3000K. There are LEDs that can output >250lm/W but again that would require additional power and probably specialized cooling. Sure, with active cooling you could squeeze a bit more out but that also requires additional power.

@4nlimited3dition_4n3d 16 часов назад

Yeah those flashlights that actually put out 100 000 lumens can only really do so for some 30 seconds. Then the output drops because of the overheating. They can't sustain such a heat output in such a small form factor for very long. I have a small-ish light that claims over 10k lumens, but in reality it can only do that for a minute or even less before ramping down.

@1pcfred 16 часов назад

Some of the lumens claims here would start fires with the beam. 100,000 lumens. That's anti aircraft searchlight levels of power. You can't have something like that strapped to your head. Horn decibel ratings are even funnier. There's horns on Amazon that claim to be louder than when Krakatoa erupted.

What dulls knives is how you sharpen the knife and what the knife is made out of. How you use the knife has an impact on performance too. Don't scrape with the blade.

I was an OTR driver and used the AA for pre-trips; so it was used daily. Long way to say: you won't be disappointed.

Thank you for the nice test. There's quite a lot of important things that can be checked with possible high impact on the results: 1. Light quality - annoying flickering (in case of slow or very deep PWM regulation), CRI (color rendering) that won't make everything look blueish, light temperature (very cool, unpleasant 7K cheap LEDs) -> all can be objectively tested with simple tools like Opple lightmaster. 2. Dedicated LEDs for floody and throwy light patterns, pretty much ignored in the test, but very important for multifunctionallity. 3. Operation - just basics, like not having to click through all modes to turn off the light, no blinkies in the main group, memory mode, number of light levels, easy and sure light lockout. Also, some flashlights have regulated output, some are dimming with lower battery voltage, which is not preffered. 4. Max. luminance is not that important, especially for the headlamp and for flooders - for close range works like car repairs few hundred lumens is way more than enough, but quality of light is more important (point 1). All flashlights will eventually throttle down to single hundreds of lumens or will be unpleasantly hot. Please keep up your great work!

I have the Coast® XPH34R. This has been a very good head lamp for me. As a truck/trailer mechanic. This head lamp comes in hand on the night time road calls. It last must of the night on low. Easy to charge/adjust/turn on. I have a extra battier for the longer head lamp use, if needed. It is a good head lamp.

My favorite headlamp is from DOLLAR TREE stores . It has a very comfortable narrow elastic band holding a very light and ultra compact LED lamp . Powered by 2 # 2032 cotton cell batteries it is bright enough for most jobs ; doesn't get caught easily on nearby objects in tight spaces close to the wearers head. Best feature is cost ! If it gets damaged you can afford to throw it away because it only costs about $2. 75 😮 😊

During the showcasing of each brand, I thought to myself that it would be cool if you included Coast as well but to my surprise you did! I'm a commercial electrician and I've used that Coast light for almost a year now, almost every day. It's seen hard bumps from conduits, joists, rigid pipes, and concrete. From pouring rain to crazy amounts of dust. It still holds up well to this day (and I'm still using it even now). A single charge would last me about 4 days (sometimes 5) if I've used the medium setting, and less if I used the high setting (this is through nonstop use so it will last more than a week if less). The only downside I've found as pointed in the video is that it's heavy, especially as I mount mine on my hard hat. You do get used to it though.

After several expensive headlamps claiming their brightness and battery life for hunting and night repairs, I bought a $14 Energizer.Absolutely better than any others. Bought two more for my sons. Four years old and working perfectly. Plus if I lose one, the hardware store down the street will have them.

13:20 - Something to note about the Ledlenser. The 4,000 lumen rating is for the 'Boost' mode, which is only a brief 10 seconds before dimming. What was tested was very likely the 'High' mode, for which this light has a 1,800 Lumen rating. Essentially, spot on. And it having a hotspot that's higher than the rest of the flood makes sense. More light on the ground, while still giving a decent throw.

@ProjectFarm 17 часов назад

Thanks for sharing.

@Beany2007FTW 15 часов назад

Yeah when I saw that throw pattern, I thought that's perfect for walking/cycling etc - decent spot, with more throw on the ground than average with an 'aligned' lamp. Perhaps not as useful for working under a car although probably not a particularlyhorrible compromise. That said, it's a bloody expensive thing, but then LED Lenser have a reputation for decent after sales support etc etc. I've had a few LED Lenser torches over the years and they've generally been very solid, reliable things. Only have one these days, a AAA pencil job that has been battered over the years, but lives in the car now.

I am glad to see Princeton Tec Apex headlamps in the mix. They make a high quality product! Some years ago this was one of the top headlamps, used by cavers, Alaskan dog teams and others. There was an entire online community around the lights! When your life depends on a quality headlamp, working with no drama, you need a quality product, one does not need only to be the brightest, but one also gives other features, (for example a little blinking LED to let you find the light in the dark, alerts for when the battery was running down, (my model used replaceable batteries, i see they upgraded as one would expect with improvements), multiple light settings, (sometimes you only need a little light.) and more. This is all to say Princeton Tec is a quality product!
