Thread: The flashlight sticky

Sorry to have to tell you mate but Heiders are a scam. They are cheap chinese lights of lower output ($7-15) and their ads use beam shots from much more powerful lights. If you google CFX you'll come across alot of detail on their scams. Small, low power lights compared to leaders - maybe 15-20k lux tops. Check this out:

On another matter - a non-scam light.....Holy hell!!!

Mate and I have a couple of dedomed Maxtoch 2Xs and they were very powerful - both running on U2 leds at 253,000 lux - up from 120k standard. Tonight gadgetman dedomed and swapped in some new U3 leds and have just done the meter testing on them. Same meter and same batts as last time.

Results: one 2X measured 291k lux, and the other 298k. That is serious power from a handheld torch - and still keeping beam width too. That's nearly 1.1kms ANSI max distance.

Wooo!
