As of 8-23-12 these Rayovac SE3DLN lanterns still state they have 300 lumens on the front of the packaging.kd

I actually own one from early 2012 (when they were "300 lumens"), and a new one that I just bought in late 2013. The old one has a blue hue and seems brighter than the new one, which has a yellow hue. Unless my new one is defective, the bulb has actually changed. I tried swapping the batteries between the two to see if that was it, and was the same. Older one--blue hue and brighter, Newer one--yellow hue and dimmer. Honestly it's a little frustrating because I was expecting the same brightness and hue.

The short answer is it is the same lantern but they just changed their rating system.

Rayovac has changed the way they rate their lights to conform with ANSI standards. Here is their statement:"* In 2012 Rayovac adopted the ANSI FL1 standard for measuring light specifications. The standards were developed to help consumers compare technical specs between products. The ANSI FL1 standard indicates the light output for this product is 240 lumens."So, its the same light that used to claim 300 lumens but now states 240. So a person has to be really careful when comparing and make sure they all are using this ANSI FL1 standard, otherwise its all subjective advertsing.lw Rayovac has changed the way they rate their lights to conform with ANSI standards.

the lumens was the only diff i was able to see. so i went ahead and purchased the 725hd. it's great, you don't any more brightness than what the 725hd has. nice clear picture in day or night.

It would appear the package is a FL5w10L ("L" for Low Power??) when the unit I bought in hand here is a FL5w10. All other literature on the W10 on other sites says "up to 500 Lumen" Since it has high and low power, and I tested it with a Gossen LunaPro and it put out a wee bit over 500 lumen at 10'. The confusing part here is the W9 is suppose to be 192 lumen, so I don't know where the 120 lumen may have come from... and even older package? Good light at one of the best prices on the net.

Amazon is slow at updating the specification page. All products, including the ones from prime shipping, are 4000 Lumens TM26.-- Lumen Tactical

Since they sell a 10 W 900 lumens light for half the price, I presume that the 1800 lumens is for both of them, as together they draw 20 W. (would have been cheaper to purchase two singles though, since one is 30 bucks) see .LEDSTORE 10W CREE High Power LED Work Light Lamp Off Road Bike Motorcycle 2" 30 Degree Spot. Looks similar? There is a nice customer picture with one mounted too.

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.

The package says 630 lumens for the 60 watt reveal. If you zoom in on a picture of the package you can see it in the lower left hand corner.

Sorry, we got that backwards they are 600 Lumens and not 2500 Lumens although some sellers may have the 2500s in stock

It's 240 Lumens, which is great for a background desk light or low light setting. About the same as a 25-watt bulb.

I was wondering the same thing, Nick - because this product description doesn't give any info about lumen rating, I went to the Coleman site, and the model number (2000009460) is the same on both this product and the CPX™ 6 Classic XL LED Lantern on the Coleman site. The running hours are a big discrepancy, as you note -- if you believe Amazon, it lasts 25 hours on high and 50 on low; whereas the Coleman site has it lasting 15 hours on high and 125 hours (!) on low. If either the vendor or someone from Coleman is monitoring this, maybe they can clarify.

This version is the old one with a CREE XM-L led instead of the CREE XM-L2. You can tell by the lumens. The new version puts out 550

It's not a matter of brightness. Both emit the same # of lumens. It's a function of the light spectrum they emit. So it's really an aesthetics question. Some people don't care for "white" that's in the 5,000K range and prefer the "warm" or yellowish light emitted at 3500K.

The ultra is 500 lumens, this is not an ultra. This light is a old model.The light manufactures are fighting it out for highest lumen output. This is great for out door use but unusable indoors do to bounce back.

just got mine, and yes, it is the newer 125 lumen model. seriously bright for such a (comparatively) affordable flashlight.

NEW 3800lm 3x Cree Xm-l T6 Led Outdoor Headlight Headlamp Bicycle / Bike Light will give you real measured 2400 Lumens out of 3800 claimed , which is many many times brighter than this generic LED flashlight, and it's cheaper. Just check eBay or Aliexpress , it's full with exactly alike flashlights for 1/5 of the price.The seller just put this in the box and claim to be a genuine ! What an overpriced product !

I just looked at this on a different website. The package said it's 157 lumens (cheaper on amazon).
