How bright is the flashlight? Is it really 2000 lumens? Does it light up the road?

I don't know how to measure lumens but i doubt this is anywhere near 2000 lumens. It is the brightest flashlight i own and i own a bunch. I just walked out in the street to test it. The light traveled more city blocks than I could count street signs....far far more than 8 blocks. I used this flashlight and my 10x42 binoculars to read a license plate at 1200 yards. So it illuminates farther than I can shoot accurately with my .300 Win Mag. So it is as many lumens as I need.

With 18650 3.7V Li-Ion, with the focus at max spread it produces about 4,900lux which is roughly equal to 460 lumens sq/ft. This was at a distance of 1 foot with a coverage area of about a 1.5 foot dia. When focused the light produced over 90,000 lux @ 1 foot (i'll let others do that math on that one).

It does light up the road but not comparable to your headlamps. I do have a 500lumens Duracell and a 1000 Lumens Duracell. I believe this item is misinformed and is only at 500 Lumens. My 1000 Lumens is very very bright.

Not even close to 2000 lumens. It is a bright flashlight if you haven't seen a truly bright flashlight.

First, no one makes 4000 ma 18650 batteries. Panasonic makes 3400 ma batteries and they had to remove the protection circuits to do it. So lets be generous and say your getting 3000 ma from the batteries, the most the xml t6 will put out is 930ish lumens if its direct driven and doesnt catch fire from being inadequately heat sinked. keep this in mind when looking at all the lights of this type. 500 lumens would be more likely.

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.

Love this flashlight it has several modes and is very bright. would recommend this perches.

I can't vouch for the lumen rating, as that would need a good detection instrument, but it certainly is very bright; not as powerful as a car headlight, but certainly good enough to see ahead when moving at speed. The only drawback is that this power comes at a price...battery life. I would suggest spare battries be bought and carried for extended use.

Really I don't think it is. I compared it to my 1600lm and they are about the same brightness. But, aside of that, yes it does light up the road and I love the zoom, now that is bright at a distant of about 2 1/2 football fields. I would recommend the purchase of this flashlight.

This is 305 lumens and due to the adjustable focus it can both light up a big area or allow you to focus it down a tree row. Very bright. It feels very solid and, well, it's a Maglite.

It is about 250 - 300 lumens I guess. The light is bright enough for garage, but the focus is not as good as it shows in the demo video.

It's pretty bright during the day. Other's have said that this outshines most of the other lights. I don't know what lumens it produces, though

It's OK. Enough to be more of a warning light for oncoming traffic. It's not bright enough, in my opinion, to be used as your primary headlight. I use this one in addition to another much brighter flashlight as my front bike lights.

For that price, yes. It is a very bright flashlight. Not as bright as stated, but bright none the less.

I want to say it's 5-6k. I will be honest, these things are pretty bright. Maybe not freight train -dead -of -night surprised bright. But they are at lleast twice the brightness of the stock light. And they light up reflectives at least a 1/2 mile away on a straight line road. I love em. They do have that blue/purple hue to them.

The light is really small but it's bright enough to hit the road. It will let cars know you're there but it's not going to light the entire roadway.

It produces a relatively narrow beam, but it is extremely bright at 800 lumens. I light the front 30+ feet of my path with confidence, and the light can be seen for well over a mile in the dark. Make sure you point this more at the ground that straight forward so you don't blind other drivers/bicyclists.

This is a second answer to the same question; generally no flashlight will illuminate anything at ½ or ¼ mile with any intensity, regardless what the manufacture may claim. But this small flashlight is one powerful item; generally speaking I would estimate that at a distance of 200 to 500 feet away, it would light up most every thing in your view. With two batteries supplied there is plenty of power, but I would suggest ordering an extra two batteries that only cost about $8.00 extra. There is nothing better than having two extra fully charged batteries when your power is running low. A GREAT flashlight for a LOW COST.

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.

I haven't verified the specs but I was just looking for a bright flashlight, solid and compact. It was all of the above and cheap. I would prefer rechargeable but this is one of the brightest small flash light I have ever seen. I have a couple high quality LED flashlights for night dog walking and short commute/biking, which I thought were fine, this one is brighter.

At high beam at 1200 lumens it lasts about a great 5-6 hours. About 12 hours at 600 lumens medium. It's very powerfuland if you ride on unlit trails or dark roads at night or in the countryside this will be perfect for you! :-)

My light says 700. This is a really bright light. The brightest setting lasts about an hour. I am very happy with it. We ride in the morning about 5:45 (in the warmer weather) and it lights all the way up the road.

The light is bright! I can see 300 yds (at least) and it covers a 2 lane highway. This morning 0430 I spotted 2 deer at over 200 yds. I have also noticed that cars no longer keep their high beams on me now that I am lighting up the street :-) buy it!!!

Do you have picture of the reflector from the internet? I can compare it and let you know. Its pretty darn bright at 1600 lumen, I tell you that.

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.
