Christmas is coming or Hanukkah, or you just have bad spending habits, which is why your
main youtube viewing is dumb product comparisons like this.
So I'd thought I'd put together a list of recommendations of lights I have reviewed,
to help you find the right big lumen light you have to hide from your significant other
or roomate who needs the rent money.
Some of these lights were released up to a few years ago and some have been released
this year.
This is not all flashlights, just ones I have reviewed, tested and like the best.
7000 lumens with a good tint from 2 years ago is still better than a 2000 lumen light
from this year with an ugly tint right?
We'll devide it into 3 basic sections.
3000-10000 lumens. 10000-20000 lumens, and above 20000 lumens.
On your mark get set go!
Ok 3000-10000 lumens.
I get it your sort of on a budget.
I'll give you 3 or 4 here.
First at about $60 is the Convoy L6.
It uses lithium ion rechargeables, is big, bright and has a dual switch easy to use interface,
a hard on off switch on it's tail and a mode changing switch up front.
This one gets you in the mid 3000 lumen range, and is built extremely well.
It'll illuminate stuff a few hundred feet out or less very well.
Check out my review of this light for full details.
To do this easily just search advanced knife bro and convoy L6.
For the rest just search for my name and the product.
I'll also link them below the video.
Next up is a $50-$70 light if you have a coupon the BLF Q8.
It has a great neutral tint, and a cool ramping feature brightness adjustment.
It's easy to use, and runs off 4 18650 batteries.
It's a versatile light that gives you choices from very very dim to 5200 lumens.
It's beam doesn't quite reach as far in the distance as the Convoy L6, but it's brighter.
And lastly in this section is the Noctigon Meteor at 7200 lumens.
This light is awesome, but the user interface requires you to use shortcuts mostly- so if
you hate reading quick operation manuals because you still can't read then maybe skip this
one.
This light is several years old now, but it's compact, and extremely well engineered and
cool looking if that's a descriptor that could be applied unironically to a flashlight.
But ironically works too.
It's about $130.
And how about the Storm of Ra.
This light is a beast and with the longest beam distance here, and super easy operation.
It's not practical and not a rough and tumble light- meaning don't drop it, but it has active
cooling and burns though batteries quickly.
The coolest light really in the whole video, and puts a smile on my face every time I whip
it out.
It's $350 light, so not for ramen eaters.
Now again video is an overview- watch all of these reviews where I test the manufacturer
lumen claims and a lot of the runtimes and show you how they're used.
This is a click bait video.
10000-20000 lumen range.
Most people don't need lights this bright.
And I'll pare it down to only 2 lights.
First the Thrunite TN36 2017 edition, which is just over 10000 lumens but I chose this
because it has an easy to use user interface like the BLF Q8.
It is a cool whit tint only and comes in a bundle with batteries and a charger- all lights
in this video you'll need to buy a battery and charger separately except this one, which
this kit will set you back like $250.
This is probably my least overall favorite light in this bunch though because I like
some of my less bright lights in the last section more and it comes in a cool white
tint only- but mostly because I owned brighter lights before I reviewed this one.
Next is the 140000 lumen Acebeam X45 about a $240 light.
It takes 4 18650 batteries and comes in a neutral or cool tint.
I reviewed the neutral but it seems some people say the cool tint has a slight green cast
to it.
I would go with the Neutral if I were you, which is a touch on the warm side.
It's a substantial light and 14000 lumens lights up my whole large backyard.
brightly.
If you needed a bit more throw you might try the imalent DT70 which I also reviewed but
it only comes in a cool tint and is less bright overall.
And finally in the biggest lumen range over 20,000 lumens my favorite light is the Imalent
DX80 which comes in over 30,000 lumens.
The light is massive and has a built in battery and charging system.
You can get it for about $380 or sometimes in the mid to high $200 if you can find an
online coupon.
This is literally the current brightest factory built verified lumens light you can buy as
of November 2017.
It is an insane amount of light.
Check out my review for that for full beamshot comparisons.
You're like why didn't you pick the Acebeam X80... well it's about 10000 lumens dimmer,
gets hot way to fast in your hand and has gimmicky colored LEDs.
I don't hate it, but this is a better light.
You need a lot of mass in a flashlight to help disperse the heat generated by 32000
lumens.
Ok so check the description for links to reviews of these lights.
Thanks for watching.
