It's early I must have skipped that line haha....does it say how many watts it is? I have an 8 watt LED that's also bright enough to blind you but I paid like 60 bucks for it!! I'm gonna have to look for one next time I'm at wallyworld...thanks for the write up..
You can't convert directly between them. They are measuring completely different things.
Lumens measure the flux of a light being produced by a light source or received by a surface.
Watts measure the amount of power used.
They are different.
*he lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI unit of luminous flux,
a measure of the perceived power of light. Luminous flux differs from radiant flux, the measure of the total power of light emitted, in that luminous flux is adjusted to reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light. The lumen is defined in relation to the candela by
1 lm = 1 cd·sr = 1 lx·m2
That is, a light source that uniformly radiates one candela in all directions radiates a total of 4π lumens. If the source were partially covered by an ideal absorbing hemisphere, that system would radiate half as much luminous flux—only 2π lumens.
*If a light source emits one candela of luminous intensity uniformly across a solid angle of one steradian, its total luminous flux emitted into that angle is one lumen. Alternatively, an isotropic one-candela light source emits a total luminous flux of exactly 4π lumens. The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total "amount" of visible light in some defined beam or angle, or emitted from some source.
A standard North American 100 watt incandescent light bulb emits 1500–1700 lumens,while a standard European 230 V model emits 1200–1400 lm.
A 100 watt high-pressure sodium vapor lamp emits around 15,000 lumens.
*The watt (symbol: W) is the SI derived unit of power, equal to one joule of energy per second. It measures a rate of energy use or production..
Like I said I'm new to the tactical light scene so I have no idea what your used to using or like. To me it's great just what I wanted and needed. The fact that it has such power and the serrated front is great. For the money it's great in my mind any way. It's such a low price that you can get one try and it out if and if you don't like it (hey it's walmart they take anything back even after you use it) Even if they wont take it back your only out like 20 dollars and can still use it for fishing or hunting or car work. So to me it's a great deal and I got what I wanted at a low price. To someone who has more money then god and has sure fires and other 60 to 200 lights. It may not be that great.Thanks for the info! I've never liked the LED lights. Not enough lumens for me. If it as good as you say I might have to get one and try it out.
Thanks for the review and attaching the video. I'm going down to Walmart this afternoon and buying one! I've been looking at surefires (dreaming if you will) about affording a surefire flashlight. They are BIG bucks. Granted, they're powerfully bright. However, I like that Coleman for only $25 and it has a defensive bezel. I'll get one for me, the wife and my 17 yr old daughter. Three for less than half the cost of one Surefire. Hard to beat that.
