Does this have the T6 Cree LED lights advertised in many of the other bright 800-900 lumen flashlights? I know many others exagerate their lumens brightness, so how does this compare?

If anything te brightness was understated. I'm very happy with mine. Both at wide angle and focused beam it's brightness is impressive compared to every other flashlight I've owned. Makes mag light look silly put it that way...

Dan. I carry my Q5 on my belt all the time for some quick light.. The T6 is in my car.. I do not believe the T6 is really 1600 Lm.. maybe a really good 600LM.. The T6 is definitely brighter than the Q5. But it does not begin compare to my favorite light the Fenix TK51, especially when the TK51 is 900LM in the high spot light mode and 1800 when combined with its 900LM Floodlight mode.. But the Fenix TK51 is $129.00... I paid $3.50 each for my Q5's and I have 10 of them for my grand kids... I paid $6.95 each for my T6's and I have 6 of them for the wife and my grown kids. I love these lights for the money.. Dan. I carry my Q5 on my belt all the time for some quick light.. The T6 is in my car.. I do not believe the T6 is really 1600 Lm.. maybe a really good 600LM..

I am not a flashlight expert, I use them while hunting, under my truck, under car, just basic stuff. My friend spent 10 times more on his light and his is no brighter than mine. I am very impressed with value/quality, but I have no way of verifying the 250 L's.

Well, this flashlight doesn't have a bulb, but an LED. The LED is soldered to a circuit board. It is my understanding that these Cree LEDs are rated to last many 1,000s of hours if not 10s of 1,000s.

The Cree 40426 is about both 30% brighter and uses a more efficient LED. In addition, it has is has the added utility of taking the top off and hanging from the bottom so it shines down as bright area light for a work area or cooking.BATTERY CAPACITY: the below description is in error. My CREE uses 3 x AA batteries, NOT AAA; so the Coleman has no advantage there.

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.

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 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.

The flashlite pictured in this request like mine is 3.5 inches. the Cree XML Q5 T6 measures 6". to best of my knowlege,

I purchased the Klarus XT11 CREE XM-L LED Flashlight on 8/23/13. The so called manual that came with the flash light says "Max 600 Lumens." The label on the Flash Light does not show any lumens description.

The chinese cree xml 1200 lumens is brighter but not by much. Those claimed 1200 lumens are rubbish although it is still very bright, its closer to 700 lumens and the optics are way superior con the cygolite. The cygolite is more trustworthy, realiability on those generic chinese lights is a crapshoot, especially with the battery. I have both.

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

It's a fixed flood. Advertised as 240 lumens, doesn't seem that bright compared to my 65 lumen Surefires. I'm going a bit stronger with my next light, maybe 600, just to be sure. LED's don't seem to be as focused as regular but run on AA batts.

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 think it is better than the t6 because the t6 i just bought it is a focus spot light but the u2 is more flood than the t6 .so the spot light circle in the middle is wider in the u2 than the t6

When I left the light on, after about 3 minutes it would turn to a lower brightness then and not go back to the 1600 Lumens. Therefore, I returned the light. I have another Maelstrom flashlight that is very good, but the MMUx3 had problems. Therefore, I bought the Eagtac MX25L3C 3500 Lumens. I have been buying flashlights for a while, but after this beast, I have rested the wallet. Good Luck.

I received two XL50s with my order. One was labeled 139 lumens and the other 200 lumens. Otherwise, the packaging and flashlights are identical. I can detect no differences in brightness between the two. They are very bright. Unsure why varying lumens are listed among different website descriptions for the XL50. Mine appear to be identical.
