150lums enough?
150lums enough?
I really didnt want to go pay 100 bucks for a taclight. I got one off amazon for $35 and it has strobe, low, high, and a laser. but it is only 150lums. you think thats too little?
If you break into my house, be quiet, or ill wake up and unload on you.
Re: 150lums enough?
I don't really trust any manufacturer claims about having xxx lumens.
What you using it for?

Re: 150lums enough?
What I would say is... what is enough for you? And lumens don't mean crap. Some lights have 400 lumens, and they are so spread out that the light output is useless. I have seen a good 200 lumen light shine out to nearly 100 yards efficiently. Use the light, and see if you like it.... See if you think it is "enough" I played with a Nebo LED light, that claims to have a hair over 200, and it was AMAZINGLY BRIGHT. And it claims 4 hours of battery life on the brightest setting.... This light sells for about $25 at local stores and I will probably buy one. I also have $2 LED flashlight from walmart that doesn't boast any sort of Lumens. I use it for work because it is tiny, and easy to carry in my tool pouch. It outshines my $20 mini maglight LED by a ton.... Soooo don't always believe what you read or are told, just play with ones you can, and find what works for you

It was cheap and supposed to be short term, but it might be a keeperpizzadave wrote:What I would say is... what is enough for you? And lumens don't mean crap.
