8100 lumens seems like a lot. Is it really that bright, or will I be sorry I spend the $225...?

The light is bright but the mounting hardware needs improving. I've return the product and went with a different designe.

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

Their claims seem a bit off, it's more like 1200 to 1500 lumens. Elsewhere datasheets show 67 lumens per watt Epistar LEDs and current measurements show 23W INPUT, so you do the math subtracting for inefficiencies since output must be lower than input power. It's still a good lumen:price ratio but the actual lumen range is helpful to know for comparative purposes.

The Cree bulbs at Home Depot are *outstanding* and they throw around 450 lumens. They have 60w A19 equivalents too that throw a lot more than that.

According to most conversion charts I've seen, 1600 lumens is roughly equivalent to a 100 watt bulb. However as others have responded, this light does seem brighter to me - part of that may be that it is rated at a Color Temperature 4000 Kelvin which is a fairly bright white (but not quite daylight) fixture. If you remove the diffuser and look at it while it's on, it's extremely bright. Look at it while it's off and it is very geeky nerdy interesting! :)

I'm not sure at the moment, I'd have to get it from my wife and disassemble it to find out. However, I can say that while it's definitely not 1000 lumens (it's very nearly as bright as my Maglight XL200, which is certified 200 lumens), it WAS indeed an excellent purchase for the price that I have yet to have any real reason to regret in terms of the cost vs. value received on this light. Just make sure you have the correct type of battery and a charger. If I get a chance any time soon, I'll try and see if I can find out exactly what type of bulb is in the one I received.

It's pretty bright. Not sure about the distance. If you focus it to a sharp beam you should be OK. It's only 500 lumens tho. I would go with the hkbayi UltraFire E17 2000 Lumen Flashlight Led Cree T6 XM-L Camping Torch Flash Light The Lamp With Mount Holder Set + 2pcs 18650 Li-ion Battery 4000mah Ultrafire 3.7v Batteries + 18650 Dual Charge. Those batteries are long lasting and they come with a charger. Good luck!

Not sure on the lumens but it is very bright. Amazing quality, it has the same specs as a rigid brand. It's not hard to mount as long as you have the right tools and a general knowledge of how things work.

Mine's warm 'bout 84 degrees now , but I live in Texas... I digress, but would say it's "cool" being 80 lumens, but so is my streamlight that cranks out 155, best not to look right at it. Good light I like mine. Benjamin

This box has doesn't tell me about lumen. I can't tell you about lumen, but I can tell you it is 4800k. It is soft light so it is not bright as normal (90minutes) emergency light. It is bright enough to guide us out. If you need bright light, it is not right product for you. I thought it will be really bright like 1000 lumens, but it is not. I still like it. Good luck find the right emergency light (LED).

The question is so poorly written I really don't understand what they're trying to ask, but if they want to know if this 1800 lm light is brighter than their 950 lm light than yes, it is. I'm very satisfied with this light, I use it on the rear of my plow vehicle because I back up a lot doing so and it provides excellent illumination.

Remember that this is 26W *fluorescent*, which is equivalent to 100W incandescent (a standard light bulb). It's pretty darn bright.

Thanks for the input. The light is flexible and an improvement over past attempts, but I had hoped this higher end version would be a true upgrade. Still a good light.

I wouldn't buy it. Mine is no where near a 1000 lumens. Maybe 200 if that. Just my 2 cents.

It's pretty bright... But a friend at work does web videos and he recommends 3 light sources to minimize shadows. So, buy 3 of em.

It is a very bright flash light but not sure about the lumens I an happy about this buy.I would suggest spare battries be bought and carried for extended use.

The MJ-880 is listed by the company as having the highest theoretical light output. I have not used that light, so I cant speak to its brightness. The MJ-872 will fit your needs. I normally ride at 50-75% brightness to make the battery last for a few days, and I have still had multiple cars flash their brights at me. I even had one person stop and an intersection and yell to me "dang! I thought you were on a street bike" this light is easily as bright as a single modern car headlamp, and with the light coming from such a small point, it is extremely visible to oncoming traffic. I recommend pairing it with the cygolite Hot Shot 2w tail lamp. The MJ-880 is listed by the company as having the highest theoretical light output.
