Have you guys seen this commercial? Holy crap, in EVERY scene the humongous Hollywood Klieg lights turn on nanoseconds before the alleged “Star patrol flashlight” turns on appearing to illuminate a city block. Lmao. I’d sooner buy a bamboo steamer or Popeil pocket fisherman.

There’s a couple other brands that make the same claim. I looked into them and, most only averaged 400 lumens.

Gotta love the young Bob Vela lookalike they have as their spokesperson. 😂

400 lumens out of a light the size of a basketball is hilarious.

There's lot's of junk out there being marketed (lasers/lights/torches ect..).  If you want the real stuff legally , it's very hard to find anything that is transferable that is effective.      B.E. MEYERS & CO.makes some really neat stuff in regards to illumination and dazzlers to disorient folks.  But I believe most of their stuff they will only sell to military  & law enforcement.

I think everyone knows, anything advertised on television is probably a scam.

Flashlights, garden hoses, kitchen gadgets, and you gotta love the little pedal wheel that shows old people sitting on the sofa, pedaling away and pretending to get in shape.

Nice!

I have a Coast HP3R that runs on either 2 AAAs or the rechargable battery that is 500 lumens. For what I do it's plenty, and often times I need to switch it to a lower setting to actually read numbers off bearings and stuff.

We can get just about anything in the visible spectrum that I care for, it's the infrared spectrum where we really miss out as civilians😉.
