@epicadventure 3000 lumens at 100 lumens/watt (standard Cree) is basically 30 Watts. 4000mAh*3.6V is 14Watt/hr, so maybe a half hour at full power

@epicadventure claimed lumens often don’t translate well into power consumption.

“Run time varies from 3.5 hours on the brightest setting to 28 hours on the lowest.”

@smittypap
Please do tell. I was interested in these. 3000 lunes max sounds great. Is this just expectations too high?

@D_a_v_e
I bought two. They came charged and put out a great amount of light. In fact, I wish the dimmer dimmed more. Came in handy during a couple of power outages. Then they required recharging. Neither did recharge using the included cable. Tried my own cable to no avail. Ended up trashing both.

@smittypap

Thanks for the explanation. I understand your frustration now. Not a bargain for one time use!

And I know what you mean about wanting dim. One of my favorite flashlights has the ability to not blind me if I use it after waking up in the middle of the night.
