13 lumens is approximately the light output of one wax candle, is it not? Why then, I ask, is it described as "surprisingly bright?"

I didn't look at the Lumens output of the product. For the size of it, I thought it produced a good amount of light

I recently purchased the Coleman MicroPacker Lantern, at first I was surprised to see how small it was, (I guess I didn't read the dimensions before I ordered it), but on my camping trip I discovered how bright that little thing is. I hung it from the center of my tent and it illuminated the whole tent very well. The nice thing about it is that you can lower the back cover and it shines all around or you can use it as a flashlight with the back cover raised and it directs the beam, I don't know about candle lumens but this compact lantern is all your gonna need in the tent.

13 lumens sounds about right. I would have guessed less than 50 lumens. This thing is not that bright for using 3 AA batteries. I would rather get a CREE flashlight that uses 1 AA.

I don't know the specific lumen rating, but the LEDs are fairly bright. That being said, from a distance of 3 to 4 feet, it's a dim overall glow. I planned to use it over a work surface and it just wasn't bright enough. If you are using close up of for general illumination (like a small compartment) it should be okay.

It says 600 Lumens under information about the product. But if I had to guess it looks more like 400 Lumens. 600 would be more like a brighter mag light flashlight. Still good for the price and all though.

Together, but candlepower is such an obsolete measurement. Which KC would go with Lumens like everybody else. They are great lights, but I wish I would have gone with the 130W spot beams instead of the driving lights.

Yes, the product is 1000 lumens. I bought others and the same thing happend ( 6 units)

It is relatively bright. I bought 3 but 2 bulbs are more than sufficient to light up the dining area. I used to have 6 40-watt bulbs and 6 7- watt bulbs on the chandelier. As far as I c an remember I did not buy a dimmable bulb because I don't have a dimmer switch.

surprisingly , it is. to be exact, it has 13 LEDs and that makes the light very bright.

Since I personally have thrown away the box many ages ago I can't tell you how many lumes this has (which yes, that could be a correct unit of measure) but I can tell you this gets ridiculously bright. I mean... blinding bright depending on what your settings are. From what I understand from therapy I believe this would work. But must say.. I'm not a doctor.. just trying to help answer the question.

I wrote a review on the light after I bought it and was quite skeptacle on the brightness of the claimed 1200 lumens. I saw the pic and was impressed as well but now that I have it not so much. I'm not buying it ... The photo that is. Hope helps.

Exactly how many lumens, I do not know. I would guess that it is about as bright as a 40 watt light bulb. The beam is quite focused, though, so it is great for illuminating a tabletop or other surface without illuminating the whole room. I used mine to light the dinette table in my camper and it hardly lights up the beds in the camper at all. The lighting is definitely on the cool side.

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).

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

The number of LEDs is unimportant. The output as measured in lumens is what is important. That information is not provided for this product. LEDs are not all the same, even those that output light in the same narrow spectrum; design and thermal specs matter, input voltage and current matter. 9 LEDs of one design could easily outperform more LEDs of another. If you want answers, demand to know the output as measured by an industry standard like lumens or candlepower.BTW, I attempted to ask that question specifically here, and that question hasn't appeared. Draw your own conclusions why that might be. The number of LEDs is unimportant. The output as measured in lumens is what is important. That information is not provided for this product.

Don't be fooled by all the shills for the seller. It isn't even 100 lumens. It's a perfectly acceptable light, just available elsewhere here for $8 for the exact same setup. If you do the math, there is no way that the voltage supplied by 3 AAA batteries is going to provide 500 lumens of light unless there are capacitors involved and then a half second of light.

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! :)

Not in my opinion. Go the Energizers website and they list 130 lumen - http://www.energizer.com/flashlights-lighting/flashlight/Pages/led-spotlight.aspx I've had one for about 4 years and it is REALLY BRIGHT. I've had lights with 1,000,000 to 6,000,000 rated candlepower, and this light equals my 1,000,000 candlepower light. If you need an explination about Lumens and candle power go here http://www.theledlight.com/lumens.html I'm amazed this has only 130 lumins. They say the battery lasts 11 hours. I've not changed mine for 3 years and have used it a lot. I will only use a bright light and this one is bright. I'd buy it again and rate it 5 stars.

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.
