LED flash light, lumens vs candle power. Vash?
Plumber comes by my job late and its dark. I usually have my Ultra Stinger In my Land Cruiser. Today it's completely discharged. So I off I go to the Target to buy a new flashlight. I was thinking about a LED Mag Light. I come across this off brand, LED Dorcy, that claims to have 160 lumens. For $35 I purchased it because I really needed a light with my dumb a$$ plumber waiting there. To my surprise, this cheap little light is really bright. I charged up my Ultra Stringer and was comparing the two in my back yard just before I am typing this( I have a mile of pitch black canyon to test it). At 75' the Dorcy is brighter then my Streamlight. I am really surprise there, because it is a tool and not just some kid flashlight. anything beyone that, the Streamlight can focus and tighten its beam so it is brighter in the longer distance.
This Dorcy runs 6 AAA batteries.
Just how bright is 160 lumens? Why don't LEDs stick with candle power?
