Agree, by today standard; where light pollution is everywhere,i'd consider 325 lumens as illumination for a walk, not for temporary blinding any agressor.

@@relayerrelayer8226really just depends on the candela of the light, or beam pattern more simply put. Even surefires edc1 dft turbo is at like 600 lumens, but the candela is one of the highest available, aka a lot of those lumens are in such a tight area that it would be far more effective than a 2k lumen light that was just flood, no focused pattern at all.

Yeah but the trade off is that the runtime is pretty insane on these and will maintain output constant on the entire time, but absolutely 325 will not suit everyone’s needs. However I do recommend trying one out if you get the chance they do resell and hold value pretty good especially if you resell on candlepowerforums.

@mrsteel250 every light I own will maintain 325 lumens for a long ass time.

@@jtwig9311Indeed many lights can have long sustained runtimes at that level but all LEDs from HDS are calibrated and cherry picked from the best bins and driven for pure efficiency so you get the most lumens per MAH spent of battery of really any light I know in addition to the great tints and CRI depending on the LED you select.
