Re: Actual Lumen Readings by bigchelis in 10.5in Sphere.
Ansi uses lux, because that is what the measurement is .... at what distance can you achieve a certain lux value. Sphere testing of a flashlight is great for specs, but not terribly useful on its own for a flashlight.
- Are haters knowledgeable people?
- You can't use the same tool. One requires a meter to measure the amount of light in a defined area. One require the amount of light in a defined area AND a precision method to take multiple measurements over a large spherical surface. It's like saying you can measure speed with a stop-watch ... or with a tape measure. Of course you need both to measure speed.
- Different ways of measuring lumens DOES NOT distort the numbers. There are right ways, and wrong ways, and numbers are not distorted, they are right or wrong ... and not impacted by the atmosphere unless foggy or polluted
- Lux and Lumens are about the same as mass and density ... i.e. not at all really.

First quote, then wtf are ansi 'lumens', and for the rest, try reading my comment slowly, and don't skip over major parts of the sentences that you completely over-elaborated on and went on and on to take a couple hours explaining what took me 5 seconds.
Further the "new science" is called common sense, you take light-all-over-the-place, and turn it into an average, and bam, one unit to another. It's like taking mass, and roughly estimating density based on knowledge the object is spherical and how much pressure is on the ground the object is sitting on.
And yes, my point well proven, haters weren't smart this time.
Please stop being so ridiculously negative in your reaction to my comments. It's become an extreme nuisance.
