Cheap LED torches are lovely things to buy. I’m at about 20 of various types, glow in the dark magnetic ones, small key-ring ones, each car has an orange emergency one. It’s like a drug problem and you aren’t helping.

The garage even has a torch drawer.

It’s essential that on late night dog walks you are able to light up a tree 100 metres away.

Off to Amazon to have a look......

I think the advance in LED lighting technology is one of the best things to come out of the last 20 years, and I'm not joking. As a kid then teenager, I remember trying every trick going to coax more light out of torches, bike lights, then car headlights, spotlights etc. Tech just wasn't there, it just soaked up power. LEDs are TEH AWSUM. I'm actually looking forward to a time - not too far away at a guess - when I can junk the silly HID lights I have in everything and use LED bulbs instead.

How many LM is it, there seems to be loads of different ones.

You can take a guess from the information in that picture mate

Of you mean the 800 there are loads that say 800 but quite different LM numbers.

[Mito Man]

They’re all made up anyway on the cheaper torches.

And all cheap chinese light fittings of any kind. There are proper lumens and chinese lumens

20000 lumens.

Allegedly.

I have ordered a torch this evening that I don’t really need

Thanks lads...

[Mito Man]

Just don’t go telling you mates that you have a 20,000 lumen torch

It’s probably 500 at best.

No no no - the ad states 20,000.

I think it might even be more....

A good quality LED highbay/lowbay fitting from someone like Thorn lighting is getting 20,000 lumens at 134w. I cant see how this torch could do that.

I have a couple of LED Lenser P7's and they're the shizzle

My light bar is only managing 45,000 from 500w

Olight have an actual 25,000 ansi lumen torch

Nope - I'm sure Henry Kelly used this every time an answer was wrong on Going For Gold. So stick your EFA up your tradesmens'
