Does anyone know (or can anyone estimate) the lumen output of this flashlight in each of its settings?

This flashlight has 26 LEDs, 17 white LEDs and 9 Red LEDs. The front light MCD is 12,000 - 14,000 and the side light MCD is 10,000 - 12,000. The white LED front light is 44 lumens, and the side white LED lights is 38 lumens.

Regret ... No idea ... the model I received is not even competitive with my Mag-Lite XL100 spec'd at 103 Lumens. I am surprised Amazon has not taken this to task!

Not 100% sure but I would say around 60 lumens. Gives off a decent solid beam. Comparable to a crimson trace pistol flashlight. Battery lasts a long time. You won't be disappointed

I am not sure. However, the light appears to put out that much light. It is very bright. So far, the output seems to be appropriate for the claimed amount. My reason is that it compares favorably with a hand held flashlight that puts out 300 lumens. I have several with various outputs. This light is very effective for camping and for emergency lighting.

55 Lumen Output (Estimated Max Lumen output only - actual performance depends on operation conditions, cells used and flashlight. Much better than original bulb,brighter and batteries last longer.

Depends on if it's an XM-L T6 like it says, or something else. The first one I got wasn't even the same class of Cree bulb, the second was an XM-L U2. From what I've seen online the U2 is around 5700k and the T6 is around 6500K. This also seems to match up between the U2 I got here and another light I have with an actual T6.Of course, the permanent button memory and lack of adjustable focus kill this flashlight for me. It's bright, but I don't recommend it.

Think the 400 lumens is referring to a M17. The M7 I purchased stated it has 220 lumens. I don't have a meter to measure the output but I do own the M7 and a P17. There could of been a change in the output since the time I purchased my unit but I really haven't been checking. I purchased the M7 for a number of reasons (It is small, it has a metal switch button, it is rechargeable, it can be focused and it has adequate lumens for my needs.) I previously purchased two P7s and found the switch button to be problematic. Both switches failed within 6 months. I've used the M7 every night at work and haven't had a problem with the switch. I carry it using the belt clip. Very happy with this purchase. The P17 has been another good purchase I purchased it 3 years ago and it still going strong. Use it mainly for luminating wider areas. Since its LED the battery power consumption is a lot better than the krypton and xenon flashlights. Before I purchased the P17 I was going to the store to get a pile of D batteries every week. Now it's more like 5 time a year. The picture dies show a M17 and it looks different from my older P17.

I'm not sure about the exact numbers, but the output is on the week side. Much weeker then my other flashlights.

When I measured it, it was about 300 lux. When the seller measured it they probably stuck the lumen meter directly in the light which inflated the numbers... It is compatible to a 3 d cell mag light, when focused. You will also need to get the 14500 size li-ion batteries to get the full brightness.

Neither is correct, it is around 300-400 lumens probably, and only very good C8s are above 800, this is a very cheap one. Almost all Chinese lumen and mAh flashlight and battery ratings are falsely written higher so that you will be impressed and buy theirs.

It is not 1000 lumens. I would guess it was around 200-250, but I don't know for sure. However, I did not return it, even though I probably should/could have.

I don't know number of lumen but my flashlight stopped working after a few months. As their promise " lifefetime warra ty", they are very responsive and concern immediately sent me a new one. I am very please and satisfied.Saeree J.

I don't really know the science. The description I read says 25 lumens, 10 LED bulbs, so perhaps this means 10x25=250 lumens? The unit puts out about what I'd expect from a small flashlight.

I don't have any measurements of the wattage nor the lumen output, but I can confidently say that it doesn't produce as much light as the OE xenon bulb it replaced for 3x the price. Granted I probably will never have to replace this unit, but light output from a flashlight is an important characteristic to me. I was disappointed

Re: Andrew's response -- I don't think it's correct that the other colored flashlights have a higher lumen output. The flashlights are all the same model, irrespective of color. Plus, the description for each flashlight states they are all the same output, 55 lumens.

It should be noted that "lumen" can mean many things depending on how you obtain a lumen measurement. At one foot away with the "zoom" at max spread the light produced 4800~4900 lux which is about 450 lumens/sq ft. Though when focus to a point the light produced over 90,000 lux which is about 8,300 lumens/sq ft. Unless you can find definitive data that explains the lumen of this light (or any other light in existence) the advertised brightness of a flashlight is meaningless. It's would be better to look up the datasheet for the Cree XML emitter and search for visual examples of the light (using quality 3.7V 18650 Li-Ion bats of course).

I have not measured the beam in lumens, but gear reviewers have and it lives up to its stated lumens which is 830 I believe. It really is an impressive flashlight, I love mine!
