Any comments on why the Nitecore TM15 2650 lumen 3 light LED seems to throw more light then the Nitecore TM26 3800 lumen 4 light LED?

the tm 15 we have is great, very very bright. have not seen anything better or brighter.

I do not know why. The TM15 is great. I've purchased a total of three. Two for my boat owning cousins and one for myself. The TM15 may have a more concentrated beam than the 4 LED model but that is just a guess. Good luck.

I think the rationale behind the spec is based on the heat of a 25 watt incandescent, not its lumens output. The LED's are extremely cool in operation. The incandescent, on the other hand, converts a very high proportion of electricity to heat instead of lumens, which is why it burns so many more watts and gets untouchably hot.

The difference is 126 LEDs as opposed to 160 LEDs. You would think that the 160 model would be brighter, having more LEDs, however, the 160 actually has tinier LEDs packed tighter together, as opposed to the 126 which are slightly larger LEDs spaced slightly farther apart. Believe it or not, the 126 LED has a wider and brighter light spread than the 160. Subtle, but noticeable between the two.

Yes, it did. I believe the 3800 lumen is a mistake; unless Nitecore has not posted that yet.

A specification, published at a Factory Direct web site in Canada, states the "-Brightness: 20 lumens of light." Direct quote. I can concur, the LED is an early design and it tends to hover in the bluer hues. But don't let the lumens fool you. Higher lumens flash lights are "tactical" and are not useful for performing work. I use the Stanley 95-112w, for a lot of jobs, and it works well. The light is in the place I need it. 20 lumens over a 6 inch area, up close is plenty of light.

I only recently purchased the pro led, and can't speak to the regular led, but I was impressed with the pro 2D when I tested it. If you tune the beam too wide, you'll get a black spot in the center, but if you narrow it until the center is bright it is plenty of light! If I purchase another, it will be the pro led based on this one.

Not the same. Only 800 Lumens compared to 850 Lumens. May differ in other ways.

My understanding is that while the lumen is a set measurement, how the companies measure lumens varies. I don't know the exact lumens but I can compare it to my 425 Lumen EagleTac P20A2 MKII. The brightness is almost the same, but beam quality is not as good (dark circles).

This model is 500 lumens. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between the two different powers.

Here's a link to the user manual which will answer your questions. http://www.nitecore.com/UploadFile/Files/download/1-1_TM26_UM_en.pdf

The lumen ratings of these are not real. This is a bright flashlight though. I have a Fenix TK-75 which is rated at 2600 lumens and I'd say this light is comparable. Less throw and more flood but this is still a good light.

definitely brighter than my 120 lumen SureFire. Not sure if its REALLY 250 Ls...hope this helps

I haven't dropped any of my Thrunite flashlights so I can't respond on the dropping issue. I have 3 of the Thrunites and the tn35 is by far the best and the brightest ! My tn30 mini is rated at 3200 lumens and my tn35 is brighter. According to reviews, the Thrunites are pretty accurate on their lumens ratings

Terralux has different lumens for their different models. Best to go to their site directly.what's nice about these lights is you have 2 different lumens by pushing the button. High and low.

Concerning the output of the led source. The light source is AAA battery, its light is amazing. It is extra bright. Never seen before. Try you will like it.

Not sure leds effect different makes n models differently. Check forums or other reviews for your model vehicle....my 06f150 just blinked faster; i know depending electrical and options cruise etc they impact different also if you use more than one set of bulbs tail lights etc it has various impact.....gluck.

look for Buck Block at LED Supply. This big boy will supplement your 36volt supply to provide the constant current drive these LEDs need to stay happy. Be aware you will need a humongous heat-sink or forced air cooling to actually use this. And 8-9000 Lumens is a LOT of light. Most real life applications don't need that much light output. It's a fun toy though :) (Yeah, I bought one!)
